Institubes...Who are those guys...

Institubes...Who are those guys...I say guys because it is kind of like a boys club...and now there is Alizée!

There is a small self description on their website: "At first, it was a cute little club between card-carrying friends. Our little hut in the trees, deep in the woods, where the noise bothered no one."

It was their own little "Our Gang", the Little Rascals of Paris. From the old black and white series from the 1930's!

You see it... If Alfalfa is Para One then Spanky is...well...I think you get the picture...and there is Alizée right in the middle of them. They just need a studio dog with a circle around one eye.

Just having a little fun with "the gang"..."the little rascals"...
Institubes, more then any other label, is defined by who they are more then what they are and what they do...the label has a personality. .

I do not know what is more interesting...that Institubes worked with Alizée or Alizée worked with Institubes. I am so looking forward to this "creation"...so much more then the standard homogenized, pasteurized product on the shelf. There is nothing wrong with that, but...going for more, being creative, following your heart...that's a whole different level. You have to admire that.

The last paragraph of Institubes description says it all: "Anyway. We'll try and entertain." - That's it, that's all I ask. Be creative and try to entertain.

Henry David Thoreau wrote in 'Walden', "If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured, or far away."



(Who are those guys...1969 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)
(Thoreau was an early influence on me..'Civil Disobedience' - ahh of course you say, but until today I never gave thought that Thoreau is of French origin)
