Films et musique pour confinement
(Ferris Bueller) Alors que nous sommes tous enfermés à domicile, Corona oblige, je me questionne sur la paresse et ses vertus. J’ai contesté en effet que mes sorties du lit se faisaient sans grand dynamisme tandis que mes soirées finissaient souvent dans un élan de léthargie dont je subi

Pinch Points – LIVE at RRR Live, 20 March 2020 [post-skate] EN: One of the very best representatives of the post-skate scene, Pinch Points recently had the terrific idea of releasing a live album. If we know all the tracks by heart, it’s impossible not to get caught up in the cathar

Dusty Mush – Rainbow Creatures EP, Dirty Slice Records, 25 February 2020 [garage noisy] EN: Every time I listen to Dusty Mush, I remember why I created Still in Rock. The band takes me back to the primal urge I had at the beginning of my adult life, a trashy and limitless impulse, too pow
