Although I do write quite a lot on the web, it is wonderful to see some of my words actually printed on paper. In November last year I wrote an article about Japanese music in Journal de Nîmes, the quarterly paper of denim inspired boutique Tenue de Nîmes in Amsterdam. For the newest, France-themed edition I again wrote the music section, and this time it is called She Loves You Yéye, after the Yéyé movement in French music. You can click on the image above to read the article.
I did not intent to write a complete overview of French music, as that would be a book full of content. Rather, I chose a few French artists which inspire me in some way or another. Next to my contribution this issue holds a Paris city report, a little history of the shirt, The Faces of Neal Cassady by Piet Heijden Hume and much, much more.
