I'm not a Bedouin!

About Me

MySpace EditorI'm back in France for a couple of months before leaving for Cairo in January. Meanwhile, I work in a store; it's actually interesting, sort of a sociological experience.

I'm a rock critic for a French website ( http://www.adrenalyn.net ), so I like to hang out online trying to find the new great bands.

I'm a hard-drinker, to forget that I live in the world.

I write a lot, because words are my friends.

I love speaking to people, when they have stuffs to tell.

I run with my MP3 player and I lost myself.

I speak about the world, because I don't want to be oblivious.

I read quite a lot too.

Distophia RIP

I'm sad Distophia is over. I really liked that band. I'm frustrated because I never had the chance to see them perform live.

The Dears in London! What a show!

I'm back from The Dears' show. Was really great! I love that venue! Koko! And the band played a fairly long set with a majority of songs from the second album. Too bad there wasn't any tune from Prot...

I interviewed OK GO! That was great!

Yesterday I did interview OK GO! That's right! Well, since I'm in London and they were doing some media promo in Paris, it was just a phoner. I'm not a big fan of those, but it's always better than no...
