Limited in Regards to French Music
I don't know if it ever left. Or if I started paying attention again.
French dance music. Electronica. Has had a resurgence over the past few years.
Similar to its rise a decade ago.
Daft Punk. A major player. Then. Now.
While I am nostalgic for those of the past. More excited for the current crop.
Its influence seeping. Creeping.
Madonna. The world is ready for Music II.

Prepare to Be Frenched
I enjoy taking requests. Family. Friends. Strangers.
Even if it means satisfying the needs of a Francophile.
(He isn't really.)
I receive a number of repost requests.
I receive some outright requests. Fewer and farther between.
If there is something you are looking for. That I may have. Do not hesitate to contact me at hedancesfornickels@gmail.com.

My Mom Thought Typing Was a Better Option
Ninth grade. Drafting. Selected as our major.
A perfect storm of personalities. A new teacher.
No chance of control.
Ian. Brian. Michael A. Peter. Rob. Dustin. Dave. Ryan. Jeff in a Morrissey t-shirt.
Few girls. Three. Kristen. Samantha. Kate talking Check Your Head.
Parent teacher conferences were inevitable. And they happened.
More than one in my case. Always embarrassing for my mother. She worked in the district.
I had many seats. Moved around. Not by choice. Eventually I sat with Rick. We had played soccer together. Various teams. In-house. Travel.
Others were moved. The games didn't stop. Throwing tennis balls around. Moving desks outside.
The classroom. Located near the shop classes. Contributing to our sense of freedom. Freedom from standard in-class behavior. Freedom from honors.
There was work. There was learning. Little of it committed to memory.
Brian developed his writing style.
The class constructed foamcore houses. In the real world. Mine would not have been structurally sound. The foamcore did not collapse under its own weight. Like a single family residence would have.
With the family inside.
We were at our worst in middle school. Junior high.
If I could go back. Find a lot of those teachers. Apologize. I would.

It Was Likely a Conversation with Adam, Alphabetically Speaking
It might have come up in homeroom.
The singer of Unrest was the original singer of Velocity Girl.
I had one Unrest track. On The Machines compilation.
Armed with this knowledge I went on a hunt for Unrest. Additional Unrest.
Not difficult to find. 4AD releases. That was like musical gold for the era.
Accessible indie.
Especially when women were involved.
Almost always a safe purchase. Pixies. Lush. Belly. Cocteau Twins. Throwing Muses.
I'm sure there are disappointments.
Frank Black.
More often than not. I've avoided those misfortunes.
Unrest - Isabel Bishop. AKA Music. Used.
