Very Good Trip Vinyl

I rewound the film of my life as an amateur in a book of conversations with Maud Berthomier that we subtitled An Intimate History of Music . My life, like that of many people my age, was turned upside down by the discovery of a whole new musical world. I felt that the time had come to dive into the heart of this revelation in order to deliver my own testimony.

This is a playlist that could be suitable for one of my shows. However, I would have a hard time justifying it by current events, a particular theme or a specific reissue. In fact, it is purely selfish. Each of these songs is among the three hundred that I have chosen to tell the story of my life in music. If it were up to me, there would be many more and this book would be accompanied by a box set of twenty vinyls.

However, as on the radio, I had to be reasonable and realistic. What do a song as well-known as "On the Road Again" by Canned Heat, which was heard everywhere in 1968, have in common with a more obscure marvel like "It's a Wonderful Life" by Sparklehorse, heard in 2001 by a doubtless more limited audience? Nothing, except that every time I hear these songs, like all those on these four sides, something in me awakens, vibrates and simply makes me alive.
