I just saw The Shins live this friday at Rock en Seine, and I must say that I was utterly impressed.

I love their music, of course (thank you Garden State), but when I first heard that they were going to play for this famous festival, I was not really moved.

I didn't think that their often subtle yet enjoyable music was meant for being played in open air.

It was great being proved wrong !

The set they played this evening was really strong, from 'Australia' (a personal favourite :) to 'Kissing The Lipless' and the mix 'Pam Berry'…

I just got the much awaited (at least by me :) 4th album from Rilo Kiley, 'Under The Blacklight'.

Now, since I'm a big fan and I will see them live very soon, I decided to give my feelings about this CD.

I've already read some reviews, by critics and listeners, and to my surprise, they were very negative, for most anyway.

Me ? I loved this album.

Sure, it's not the old indie Rilo Kiley that I discovered and loved, but change can be nice right ?

Of course, this album is clearly an attempt to reach out to…

I figured, why not make a list of my favorite ten songs ?

I've thought about it long and hard, and it will probably have changed by the minute I write this down (10 is awfully short when you think about it), but here is my list of my favorite 10 songs of all time :

Elista - La Vie A Deux

The Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)

Nightwish - Sleeping Sun

The Cardigans - Erase / Rewind

Muse - Muscle Museum

Massive Attack - Teardrop

Fiona Apple - Shadowboxer

The Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Radiohead - Karma Police…
