01 Television personalities : I know where Syd Barret lives
(Dan Treacy also disappeared, we now know that he is back and that his new record will be released in february on Domino, this song is the perfect example of the englishman sweet madness, as seen by a french man, They could have been bigger than the beatles ?)
02 Soleil Rhana : Soul sitar
(Under the sun of Arthur cravan’s villa, women are dancing on sitar sounds while the poet is training for his next fight)

(That’s the theme of "les enquêtes du commissaire Maigret" Tv show based on Simenon’s heroe, but a special version by MELODY FOUR)
12 Caetano veloso : Billy jean
(billy jean is a fantastic song, its bass line drives me crazy, caetano veloso is a marvellous singer, a true golden voice, is there a sweetest way to end a show ?)

I CAN'T HEAR THE MUSIC

This week, due to circumstances under my control, Aperitivo was mute and deaf. NO SHOW.
Is it already the end.
Of course not dear,
hear you next week.

By the way, while you're not listening to Aperitivo, why don't you have half or both ears on
LA SPIRALE
their last week show is on line and it's Soulful pop time.

Hear you next week fellows.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETLY DIFFERENT

Second episod

Compared to last week, this is mostly a laid back show.
Last week was more of "hey i'm back, let's make some noise and feel the energy".
Tonight, is it because i 've got a cold, but the show is in a more gentle mood.
Love, passion, feel the warmth....
