Sebastien Tellier is awesome

so I'm pretty surprised I haven't written about him before: Sebastien Tellier is a hilarious Frenchman who makes awesome 80s style electronic music with great videos. He kind of looks like a caveman or Jesus and dresses like Miami Vice.

Here's "Divine," which, shockingly, was France's entry into the Eurovision contest in 2008. Not shockingly, it didn't win, because it's actually good.

Marion Barry

so here's me and Marion Barry. He was a nice guy - happy to take a photo with me, asked me where I was from, etc. He went to college in Knoxville, where I'm from.
