Life is complicated and busy. Did you notice? Keeping up with the music, movies and books that fed your youthful imagination and conversations is harder than ever, but even more important. Here's the good news: there's never been more great new stuff. The challenge is to find it.

So here are my highly opinionated views on sounds, sights and words that will help you keep it fresh and real, and links to the veins where the richest motherlodes can be found.

Feed your head.

Vive la deep house français

Poom, 2016

Let's play a game.  I say, "French Pop"and you say...? Serge Gainsboro? Air? Plastic Bertrand?  Nice try.

Today's answer is "Poom," a French duo making the sweetest pop music of the summer.  This French electro-pop duo have a sound that recalls the bands HAIM and Sunny Levine. "Qui es-tu?" and "Sous l'orate" are as crisp as a Provence rosé.

 

The perfect soundtrack for your Bastille Day party.
