Radio Vinyle.


It started with Archie Shepp, and I remember being stunned by the footage of the inside of the record collection of Radio France. In that video, Archie Shepp detailed in a perfect French his influences and tastes, musically speaking. 
What I ignored until Laid Back directed me towards the website of Radio Vinyle, is that Radio France kept doing on with the series, and now broadcasts online the 10th episode of Radio Vinyle, featuring Geoff Barrow, the mastermind behind Portishead.
Previous artists featured are Lulu Gainsbourg, Alain Chamfort, Ahmad Jamal, Cassius, Mathieu Malzieu, Thomas Dutronc, Daniele Gatti, Jean-Jacques Milteau...
Really, that concept is amazing and will please a lot of diggers out there. Plus, non-French speaking people can still watch the videos of non-French featured artists, as the videos are not dubbed but simply subtitled. 

Impressive.
