I got the Serge DVD set in the mail today and watched the whole thing in one marathon four hour session. Awesome clips.

It was all good until my mother walked in while Lemon Incest was playing - she freaked out to say the very least.

Man, you should've been there. She flipped sh*t. Especially when I said that Charlotte was Serge's daughter.

A lot of the early films, the interviews, the Melody Nelson TV special, Love On The Beat (goshdarn!), Lemon Incest (double goshdarn! Charlotte was hot when she was 13!), Vieille Canaille, and Serge's introduction of his scared shitless son (or at least I think it was his son).

I'm probably going to end up going back to my DVD set and counting the number of times Serge has a cigarette near him. Probably numbers in the dozens.

Dude, Rod Serling would have told him to cut back. Serge ALWAYS has one burning.

From the DVD, I got the impression that he had more than one heart attack.

I've been trying to get Suga here to get into some Serge, with some reasonable success. She has to use da internet to do her buying, I told her. I would send her stuff over AIM, but she has shitty dial-up. Of course I could always mail her copies of that Serge box set when it comes in the mail.

Ian, what's your opinion of L'Homme À Tête de Chou? This was originally my least favorite of Serge's concept albums, now I think it's dethroned Rock Around The Bunker. You said RATB was the most subversive move by him.....I think an album about a serial killer with a title that translates to "Cabbage-Head Man" is far more subversive. Sick, even.

Nothing was more subversive at the time than the Nazi-apprpriation. The punk movement's similar themology dimmed the outrageousness of Bunker a bit.
Tete De Chou is definitely the most shocking thing he ever did.
The track Lemon Incest is up there with these, of course.

Time has dimmed the impact of Rock Around The Bunker, I would think. The Nazi atrocities only lasted a few years but have shaped the last sixty years since the war ended. Serial killers have been around for a much longer time. That's a more timeless theme. We associate the Nazis with the period between the late 20s to the mid 40s. Serial killers have been around since the first murder occurred.

L'Homme À Tête de Chou may be the most shocking thing he ever did, but if our French-speaking friends on the board could probably attest, his reggae reworking of the La Marseillaise was probably even more shocking and subversive.

I've noticed a misconception about Serge's music. People seem to think he went erotic and perverted and sick on Initials BB and Histoire De Melody Nelson.......but a lot of his jazz material has much of the same kinds of lyrics.

I think the suck-cess of Les Sucettes in anee erotique Sexty-Sex crystallised for 'Bourg what he could get away with in the pop world.

I still have to track down all these songs he wrote for other singers. All I have are the tracks he did with Brigitte Bardot and the four Jane Birkin tracks on the '69 album.

Ever notice how Smoke Gets In Your Eyes has the vocals mixed really low? I guess Serge wasn't confident with his English.
