Nights with Sebastien...
Today's post is dedicated to Sebastien, a man I hold dear to my heart, His voice is the last thing I hear before I go to bed everynight, He goes wherever I go, and does whatever I do, He is just the perfect guy.... "sigh."
Now, before you start thinking that I have a boyfriend that I am completely infatuated with, let me explain who Sebastien is. Sebastien is a wonderful french man that I have never met before in my life. But, if I was passing him on the street, and heard his voice I would know exactly who he is. Sebastien is my podcast french teacher.
Let it be known that Itunes does alot of things wrong. For example...1.They make you buy whole soundtracks when you only want one song. 2.They put songs under the wrong artist. 3. They haven't put up SexyBack!( WE WANT SEXY BACK! WE WANT SEXY BACK!) 4. They are secretly poisoning us all with subliminal messages...( ok, ok I can't prove that, but you have to admit that we all look like robots walking around with the white strings coming out of our ears.) In short, Itunes isn't perfect, but I do think podcasts are a damn good idea. Especially The French Podclass. I used to live in France and go to school there, and I have actually learned more by listening to The French Podclass then I ever learned in the three years that I studied there...that may be because I went to class everday with a hangover while I was there, but frankly I think that is besides the point. The point is that Sebastien is great, he isn't afraid to be dorky and sing to us...(Sebastien, darling, you are completely and utterly tone deaf!)...he makes us listen to sometimes cool, sometimes uncool french music, and he teaches us about the french culture as well as the language. Sebastien is the whole package, and his accent is kinda cute. Teehee.
So, if any of you out there are looking to pick up a new language, such as french, try The French Pod Class, you definately won't be dissapointed. But, if french isn't your foreign language of choice you can find podcasts that teach you Spanish, Italian, and even Japanese! There are also tons of other great podcasts...If you are looking for a good music podcast check out Bands Under The Radar and Indiefeed, and if you are looking for some really funky lounge music try DJ House Foundation. A good fashion podcast is MODTV: Fashion Television. Another one that I like for tips about photoshop is Photoshop "Quicktips."
So, get out there, go download those podcasts, they are actually free. Which is rather nice considering that, if you are like me, you are downloading about 10 dollars worth of songs a day...( I know...it's a problem!)
Untill tomorrow, my lovely blog readers. Just remember, Janet Jackson should retire and milk is still good 2 days after its expiration date...

oh, yes!
I was in Italy, feeling very "home sick" and all of a sudden, he tells us he is going to sing "La Marseillaise", I was plugged in and laughing my head off, I was pleased I wasn't sitting in a train or something... nice post. I have a feeling I have certainly learnt more from Sébastien than the time I spent at the Alliance Française all those years ago as well.
