Precisely that- can't you use a VPN to change your IP location and thus access Bleu Pétrole on YouTube or Spotify? It's available on all UK streaming services for instance. Turbo VPN's been useful for me in the past but there's plenty of others.

I see a lot of support around here for Basket of Light, against expected tournament winner El Camino. Is it a conscious attempt to get that one out of the running? In a way I kind of want to contribute to that, as I feel El Camino would be the third obvious and uninteresting tournament winner in a row, plus Basket of Light is great. Still, my heart tells me that I love El Camino, so I stick with it regardless.
It's not the best album of the week, though. Post Pop Depression has really grown on me. What possessed Iggy Pop to make such a cool sounding record at that age? Sadly, it looks like it isn't going to make round three here.

3. The Pentangle - Basket of Light vs. 2. The Black Keys - El Camino
4. Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby vs. 1. Iggy Pop - Post Pop Depression
6. АукцЫон [Auktyon] - Бодун [Hangover] vs. 8. Aretha Franklin - Aretha Arrives
7. Alain Bashung - Bleu Pétrole vs. 5. Madrugada - Industrial Silence

not sure - I picked El Camino to win the whole tournament but I just don't like it that much...

Sorry, folks! Didn't mean to be a "bracket buster," to use a March Madness term. In my spreadsheet, I rated "El Camino" a 7.8 and "Basket of Light" a 7.9, just to demonstrate how close it truly was.

lol, in the grand scheme of things the bracket prediction is fairly worthless. Though I'm always amazed at how much effort is spent by members on these forums predicting results of polls conducted by... forum members!

The poll is just a bit of fun on the side for me, but not one I attach any importance to. I mean, I fill it in while I haven't heard many of them.

Bravo Bashung, voix préférée à Nantes ! Moi, je préfère Industrial Silence, mais Bleu Pétrole a mérité sa réussite quand même.
