MP3 320 kbps CBR | 50:07 min | 121 MB
Genre: Jazz, Blues, Cabaret | Label: Can't Be Serious Records

Dazie Mae is a French band created in Paris in the mid 00s. The band started with a cover project of US and UK songs from the late sixties and early seventies, under the name 'D15H'.
In 2009, their first album 'Velvet Dress & Stockings' is released under the independent label Can't Be Serious Records. The single 'Sofa' is used by luxury brand Dior for in-door advertising, by American stylist Andrew Christian, as well as by Swedish movie director Erika Lust for her movie 'Cabaret Desire', and by Arte/RTBF-produced documentary 'The Kangaroo Complex'.
In 2012 and 2013, the song 'Sad, Depressed & Lonely' from the album 'Songs Matured in Oak' is one of French national radio FIP's selections. 'Time with my lover', from the same album, appears in director Malik Barnhardt's movie 'C'est la vie' (2014).
Their 4th LP, 'Froth on a daydream' (2015), is freely inspired by Boris Vian's cult novel 'L'Ecume des jours'.

Preview — Froth on the Daydream by Boris Vian

L'Ecume des jours (Foam of the Daze) is a jazz fueled Science Fiction story that is both romantic and nihilistic! Vian's novel is an assortment of bittersweet romance, absurdity and the frailty of life. Foam of the Daze is a nimble-fingered masterpiece that is both witty and incredibly moving. It is a story of a wealthy young man Colin and the love of his life Chloe, who d...more

Wow, this book destroyed me. Beautiful, oneiric, sexy, deadpan, linguistically inventive – and then in the end remorselessly tragic.

What would Boris Vian learned that 'The scum of the days' is now one of the classics of French literature that is studied in class? What irony of fate for the one who wanted so much to stand out!
Let us put ourselves in the context of the time. In 1947, 'The scum of days' falls like a ONIR * in the literary landscape: a crazy story featuring surprisingly modern love duets for postwar neologisms galore and an exaggerated caricature of social structures and currents of thought of the time.

After watching the new movie last week, I had to reread the book.
Well, the text version is better, but the movie is reasonably faithful to it and does sometimes manage to supply a charming or witty illustration. For example:
Le pianocktail
- À chaque note, dit Colin, je fais correspondre un alcool, une liqueur ou un aromate. La pédale forte correspond à l'œuf battu et la pédale faible à la glace. Pour l'eau de Seltz, il faut un trille dans le registre aigu. Les quantités sont en raison directe de

«La storia è interamente vera, perché io me la sono inventata da capo a piedi»
Leggere La schiuma dei giorni è come entrare in punta di piedi in un quadro di Folon e restare abbagliati dai colori, così nitidi e surreali.
È camminare per le strade di una Parigi piena di luce a ritmo di jazz insieme a Colin in cerca dell'amore.
È lentamente lasciarsi contagiare da Colin, che «alle ragazze parlava con dolcezza e ai ragazzi con allegria. Era quasi sempre di buon umore, e nelle ore che restavano dormiva

[9/10]
Only two things really matter - there's love, every kind of love, with every kind of pretty girl; and there's the music of Duke Ellington, or traditional jazz. Everything else can go, because all the rest is ugly - and the few pages which follow as an illustration of this draw their entire strength from the fact that the story is completely true since I made it up from beginning to end.
Here's the promise and the warning that Boris Vian gives us in the introduction to his 1947 novel. The

There has been three translations of 'L'ecme des jours' Brian Harper's translation 'Foam of the Daze' (my press TamTam Books), 'Mood Indigo' (American trans.) and this British edition translated by Stanley Chapman 'Froth on the Daydream.' Translations are a fascinating subject matter, because basically it is how one looks at a book and how they tell the tale in a lanugage that is suibtable for that book or culture.

“La storia è interamente vera, perché io me la sono inventata da capo a piedi”
La storia, che si colloca in un mondo surreale, è abbastanza semplice da raccontare. Colin, giovane ricco e nullafacente, passa il suo tempo in modo assolutamente normale, inventando ogni tanto qualcosa, come il pianococktail. Chick, il suo amico, spende tutti i risparmi in libri di Jean Sol Partre (che pare essere l’anagramma di Jean Paul Sartre, che Vian ha conosciuto). Colin s'innamora di Chloé e la sposa, ma nel vi

Io sono entrata in un quadro di Chagall.

Oh, absolute Joy.
Oh absolute, annihilating, cathartic Beauty of the Word.
It's the third time I surrender to its magic and yet the ineffable, all-pervading delight hasn't vanished... so I'd better write something coherent before letting the secret pleasures of the Stendhal syndrome overwhelm me.
It starts like 'La Boum'... and ends like 'Love Story'.
It's a poem by Prévert... illustrated by Salvador Dalí.
It's a white feather caressing your skin... and leaving a bleeding sore that will never heal

Se ci approccia a questo libro cercando una logica e una razionalità nella scrittura, come è accaduto inizialmente a me, il libro non può appassionarti. Le continue assurdità surreali, i giochi di parole che Vian crea sembra che privino la storia di senso, e il lettore o addirittura prova fastidio, oppure, come è accaduto a me, sorride, si diverte e basta.

'Quando sei qui con me
questa stanza non ha più pareti
ma alberi...'
Ben prima di Gino Paoli l'aveva già detto Boris Vian, con questa favola surreale che racconta di cos'è fatto l'amore, o meglio l'incanto sospeso e irripetibile del primo amore. Topi che parlano, maggiordomi alla Jeeves che cucinano piatti improbabili, pareti e palazzi che ingrandiscono o rimpiccioliscono, pianoforti che invece delle note fanno uscire cocktail mentre suoni Duke Ellington: tutto sembra normale, tutto si illumina qua

Carnaval del Arlequín
Leggendo questo romanzo mi è tornato in mente “Il carnevale di Arlecchino” di Joan Miró, un dipinto che ho sempre amato. Ignorando deliberatamente i canoni rappresentativi naturalistici, nonché le regole della prospettiva e delle proporzioni, l’artista popola lo sfondo piatto della tela con oggetti stilizzati e figure bizzarre, fantastiche, alcune delle quali sospese a mezz’aria. In tal modo crea una realtà fiabesca ingenua e giocosa, come riprodotta dallo sguardo di un bamb

Occorre che voi sappiate che il mio amico culo di gomma, famoso meccanico potrebbe dire che è tutta una questione di avviamento.

Ad esempio l’alba di un giorno qualunque perché il mattino ha l’oro in bocca; l’inizio di un tema perché chi ben comincia è già a metà dell’opera.

Boris Vian cria, em A Espuma dos Dias, um mundo imaginário, onde o surreal domina.
É um romance dramático e, simultaneamente, cómico onde tudo é alucinante. Ratos que falam; Jesus Cristo a procurar uma posição confortável na cruz, enquanto dialoga com um homem em sofrimento; empresas especializadas em anunciar desgraças um dia antes de acontecerem; a gestação de armas através do calor do corpo humano; e etc etc...

He got passed her and started crying. She was at least fifty-nine years old. He sat down on the curb and cried some more. It relieved him greatly and his tears froze with little crackling sounds and broke on the smooth granite sidewalk.

O meu caso de amor com Boris Vian já data de há uns 25 a 30 anos, altura em li as suas principais obras e também um par de policiais noir que escreveu sob o pseudónimo de Vernon Sullivan. Esta foi uma releitura porque para mim este é um autor que vale sempre a pena revisitar. Chamo a isto uma 'renovação de votos'.

I hope you’ll be luckier: my reading of Vian’s modern classic was contaminated with the prior viewing of an infantile French movie by Michel Gondry, called ‘Moon Indingo’. My vague memory has achingly reproduced the characters and some random settings from the film, sneaking them into the book, stealing from my possibilities to flex the imagination muscle.
Despite all this irritation, I have breezed through this book constantly feeling enormous sense of adoration. Vian’s word play, tongue in che

If what I like to call the romantic side of me was to write a book, it wouldn't be that exactly, but something very close to it.
Boris Vian builds an enchanting world of pink clouds and cotton candy made of rays of sunshine, just to tear it apart with a dashing blow. He plants little blue flowers in your mind, just to unleash a herd of omnivorous sheep that will voraciously feed on them along with all that's beautiful and sweet

Um livro realmente muito surrealista. É de uma maneira alucinante que as situações bizarras e estranhas se ligam, quais quadros de Salvador Dali, em movimento.
A percepção é completamente diferente daquilo que a realidade das coisas nos diz. O autor, Boris Vian, leva-nos de quadro em quadro, em movimentos rápidos e cheios de intensidade, que a dada altura já nos perdemos, e ele no entanto ruma eufóricamente, até ao apocalipse final, em que não fica pedra sobre pedra.

L’ecume des jours è un romanzo spacciato per storia d’amore con epilogo drammatico (una Love story francese), in realtà nasconde una intenzione molto più sperimentale, innovativa e simbolica e non di accesso così immediato.
Infatti lo si comincia proprio come una storia d’amore (almeno così è stato per me), sbarazzina, un poco snob, chic, allegramente frivola ma, a poche pagine dall’inizio, si intuisce che qualcosa non gira nel verso giusto, perchè un’anguilla non può uscire (o almeno vivamente i
