Bonjour! Hola!! I’m back after a week-long vacation in Europe. I had a wonderful time in Paris and Barcelona and found many records that are difficult to track down in the States that I’ll soon be digitizing to add to the Little Records library. Many thanks to the fine folks at Exodisc and Plus de Bruit in Paris, and Revolver and Wah Wah in Barcelona. This week’s Brunch features Serge Gainsbourg (& his then 12-year-old daughter, Charlotte), The Durutti Column, The Moles, Codeine, Modern English, Rain Parade, Close Lobsters, Death of Samantha, Depeche Mode, Wipers, Specimen, The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, Mudhoney, Unwound, Cleaners from Venus, a pair of Peters, and a trio of Boston bands. That’s a lovely pic of Serge up top.
