Je Suis France - "Wizard of Points"
It seems the Wizard of Points exists in all senses, in one being, that commands this song with his hand, on a joystick, or held before him in that "you are under my telekinetic control" kind of stance. So:
i) The Wizard of Points - in a mathematical sense, a controller of the intersections of axes.
ii) The Wizard of Points - a many-spined, sharp-to-the-touch warlock of a deep blue colour, predator of nothing, but also prey to nothing in return.
iii) The Wizard of Points - the silent partner to an award-winning debate team. takes furious notes and whispers hisses of rebuttal while staring down the opponent.
iv) The Wizard of Points - a video-gamer with formidable patience, who can stay in the "infinite enemies" loops in Contra for hours at a time.
v) The Wizard of Points - as opposed to prose, an expert of summary, in bullet format.
vi) The Wizard of Points - "the most experienced man"
can you hear them all? Like the 6 faces of a cube, smooth and blaring, as one.
Je Suis France - "California Still Rules"
Oh yeah, and they're also a rock band. From the eerie waters of reverb and the gathering clouds of drums emerges a rock song like a pink camera flash. Poof, and it's over.
[Out May 29th, Site (with more music!)]

Posted by efffa at April 13, 2007 3:10 PMI must say, I am very impressed with this blog. Very informative, artistic and to the point. I feel there is a certain element of true youth wrapped into an envelope of seduction - very nice!
Seems like a great collective effort, I presume you will be popular with the Cdn scene especially with women's choice awards ;)...Montreal is a great start for the French love the strong, creative types...
I love reading your take on the music you are listening to daily, even though you might not always be a fan of all the lyrics you hear. Keep in mind that all artists have their quirks, which makes them even more eccentric and loveable....sets them apart from the others. I look forward to sharing my collection with you soon..May 29th you mention that your 'one' is out? Do you know how long the release will be, before it is required to be returned to the local radio station? Thank you for sharing, no words can express....Kathryn
and it will begin playing. All songs are also available to download: just right-click the link and choose 'Save as...'
