Just a friendly reminder that the new Charlotte Gainsbourg record is now available in France. The samples I've heard still sound like Black Box Recorder to me (which isn't a bad thing). But Jarvis and Neil Hannon are much better lyricists than Luke Haines, and Charlotte is just genetically cooler than Sarah Nixey. So I have high hopes.
i've listened to it a few times and my fav song is Beauty Mark
here's a run down of who did what:

well there are two tracks with hannon and cocker (5 & 6) and they're two of my favorites. The album is awesome though, even if i didn't know jarv was on it i'd still like it - but then i am a big fan of Air too!
