A negative review this morning in Holland's Volkskrant about the Paradiso-concert of Jane. Basically, the guy slagged her off for doing a lot of old songs, and for smiling on stage. Riiight.
Moving on: While googling on Jane this weekend I came across a track by Swedish rockband The Soundtrack of Our Lives. They wrote a song in 2005 called Midnight Children, that was heavily influenced by Je t'aime...moi non plus. When it was almost done, they wanted a sexy girl to sing on it. They had a French lesbian in mind, when somebody suggested they should call Jane Birkin. Everybody laughed. Then somebody made some calls. And Jane, ofcourse, was very happy to cooperate. From this interview with Soundtrack-singer Ebbot: "She heard it and loved the song, so we went down to Paris and recorded it in three hours. She was still very good-looking. Maybe I looked a little bit frightening. But we got along. It sounds really cool. Kind of a departure, but in a strange way it fits into the album."
