Update: I just read (May 2010) that Fred Chichin of Les Rita Mitsouko died at the end of 2007. A combination of cancer and heart failure took him way too early. So my comment below that were still working was incorrect.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I always loved the song and video for “C’est Comme \u00c7a” from The No Comprendo<\/em> (1987), but I didn’t get around to buying the album until a dozen or so years later. This copy is a “cut out” and I found it at Record Mart in Old Town Alexandria, VA, a dusty second floor used record store near where I used to work. The record is a little inconsistent but there are some great, and diverse, songs that more than make up for the couple duds. This is the only album of theirs that I have. I was surprised, and delighted, to read that Les Rita Mitsouko are still making music<\/a>. The video for “C’est Comme \u00c7a” was directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino<\/a>, who has also worked with Madonna, Tom Waits, Bjork, and many other notable musicians.<\/p>\n

So perfectly French. Enjoy the video.<\/p>\n
