La Chanson du Dimanche

Now there are several ways to keep up with the news over here. Obiviously the most simple is to pick up a paper that our university provides to us for free and read. That works quite well and it is interesting learning about what is happening in Angers and all around France. But a more fun way is to simply see what 2 guys are singing about every Sunday. Yes, it's La Chanson du Dimanche. A guitar and a piano player write an entertaining and humorous song about the news and release it online every Sunday with a video. They have been doing this for a while now, and it has become very popular. They have a CD out and are also currently on a good tour of France. So if nothing else, I know that on Sundays I can keep up with the main story by listening to La Chanson du Dimanche crew, it's pretty good. I hope they keep doing this because I could really see this as a great way to keep up with things in the future and possibly something that could help when I get to teach French as well. Check out the site if you get the chance, even if you can't understand it. The lyrics are listed below each song.
