2009 two CD career-spanning collection of tracks hand-picked by Weird Al himself. Yankovic is a true artistic genius in the classic sense of the word. No other artist can parody a song or a music video without being directly compared to the maestro. Throughout his career, Al has offered up an alternate reality of sorts to the history of pop music, lovingly re-casting hits of all genres into bizarre and hilarious songs and videos that themselves have become hits. Al's work became so synonymous with the hits they parodied that Michael Jackson gave Al access to the 'Bad' video set to make his classic 'Fat' video! This is to say nothing of Al's original songs which are as witty and endearing as his parody work. 40 tracks.

On March 20, 1964, legendary American comedian and harpist Harpo Marx joined the Riverside Symphony on stage at a benefit for the Southern California organization. By then, the comic had been in semi-retirement, and after a series of heart attacks in 1961, he was told to stop working altogether. But to a lifelong performer, nothing compared to the feeling of being on stage. Benefit shows, he slyly argued, were not technically work, since he wasn’t getting paid. For the next few years, Marx’s wife and doctors grudgingly went along with the pitch.  Harpo Speaks! The Riverside Symphony Concert, out June 5 from Ramseur Records, captures a considerably remarkable, one-of-a-kind performance: The silent Marx Brother, the one whose trademark persona led many audiences to believe he was actually mute, spoke. As Harpo Marx’s first, and last—recorded just six months before his death—live album, Harpo Speaks! places listeners in the room, immersed in the swell of the Riverside Orchestra as Marx performs alongside the symphony and leads them in a narration of Peter and the Wolf. In another unusual move for Marx, he allowed the recording of the show for posterity, though the tapes seemingly disappeared after his death. Harpo Speaks! is the result of heroic archival work. Recently discovered by longtime Marx Brother archivist John Tefteller, he and Marx biographer and expert Robert Bader set out to restore the long lost recording. “The fact that we have a recording is a miracle,” says Bader. “It was not the most professionally recorded thing. It was very haphazard. The work that was done to rehabilitate it is stunning. It’s as if you’ve found something covered with layers of mold and dirt, got it all cleaned off, and now are able to see something brand new underneath it.” Across the recording’s near-43 minute runtime, Marx, alongside the Riverside Symphony, takes the cheering audience through the delightfully lighthearted “Toy Symphony” and carries them into the softly romantic “Moon Medley,” (a medley of “Fly Me to the Moon” and “How High the Moon,” arranged by his son Bill, alongside his own composition, “Moon Tune”) and a rare instrumental performance of his composition “Guardian Angels.” And then the concert’s true highlight: the near 22-minute long riveting narration of Peter and the Wolf. For the first time, Harpo reveals his voice: deep, yet soft-spoken, refined, yet still retaining the slightest hint of his New York City origin. And, in speaking, he entertained, getting laughs not just for his physical gags, but for the storytelling itself: the dramatic inflections in moments of suspense, the arch mischievousness, and tongue-in-cheek references to Goldwater, Rockefeller, and Nixon.  To listen to Harpo Speaks! is to experience a brush with magic, astonished and captivated by the talent before you, and filled with wonder and gratitude for the privilege of witnessing it, whether in 1964 or today. Says Marx’s son, Bill: “To have this recording be released and let people hear it is an honor. Dad didn’t really want people to know what he sounded like because it would have destroyed the character of Harpo that he created. But I think, now, he would accept this graciously and gratefully because it goes beyond just seeing a guy being funny. It goes to the heart of what life is about: Doing what you love and doing it the best you can.” Tracklist: Introduction by James K.

Dans cet ouvrage poignant et personnel, Benjamin Stora traverse l'histoire de l'Algerie en mêlant grande Histoire et memoire intime : recit d'enfance à Constantine, exil familial en 1962, et longue quête d'une verite partagee sur la colonisation et la guerre d'independance. A la fois temoin et historien, il eclaire les conflits de memoire - pieds noirs, harkis, immigres, Juifs d'Algerie - et montre comment ces blessures faconnent encore les societes algerienne et francaise. Le ton alterne temoignage autobiographique, enquête historique rigoureuse et plaidoyer pour la reconciliation par la connaissance. Ouvrage d'un « acteur-chercheur », il s'adresse autant au grand public qu'aux specialistes : une invitation à comprendre l'Algerie à travers une trajectoire de vie qui parle aux deux rives de la Mediterranee. en abordant les identites hybrides, les parcours d'assimilation et les quêtes de soi, son recit prend une dimension à la fois intime et universelle. Claude COLOMBINI FReMEAUX. In this poignant and personal work, Benjamin Stora traces the history of Algeria, blending grand history with personal memories: stories of his childhood in Constantine, his family's exile in 1962, and his long quest for a shared truth about colonization and the war of independence. Both witness and historian, he sheds light on the conflicts of memory-Pieds-Noirs, Harkis, immigrants, Algerian Jews-and shows how these wounds still shape Algerian and French societies. The tone alternates between autobiographical testimony, rigorous historical investigation, and a plea for reconciliation through knowledge. Written by an "actor-researcher," it is aimed at both the general public and specialists: an invitation to understand Algeria through a life story that speaks to both sides of the Mediterranean. By addressing hybrid identities, paths to assimilation, and quests for self, his narrative takes on a dimension that is both intimate and universal. UPC: 3561302591629Label: Fremeaux & Assoc.

« Il s'agira de reflechir à la notion de territoire, à ce qu'elle suppose, à ce qu'elle engendre, ce à quoi elle oblige. Un territoire est delimite, regi et protege. Ces trois notions n'ont jamais vraiment existe depuis la creation de l'etat d'Israël, transformant la cohabitation entre Israeliens et Palestiniens en face-à-face securitaire plutôt qu'en partage politique d'une terre. Il s'agira de rappeler certaines des etapes de la construction de ce huis-clos mortifere, où le droit international a vainement essaye de penetrer mais où il s'est heurte à sa vraie nature, une loi elaboree et pensee pour et par les dominants. Et où la securite l'a emporte sur la politique. (...) ». La notion de protection met en lumiere des realites contrastees : d'un côte, les Palestiniens, prives de garanties de securite; de l'autre, les Israeliens, marques par la crainte d'une menace constante. Ces situations alimentent les tensions, notamment autour de l'annexion, de la colonisation et de la reconnaissance internationale. Emmanuelle Morau souligne, à travers ces enjeux, l'incapacite globale à garantir et à reconnaître les droits fondamentaux des peuples, une defaillance illustree par ce que l'Occident appelle le conflit israelo-palestinien. Son ouvrage pose une question ethique essentielle : celle de notre difficulte collective à reconnaître tous les êtres humains de maniere egale. Il invite ainsi à reflechir aux possibilites de coexistence et de partage entre des peuples issus d'un même heritage culturel et linguistique. UPC: 3561302591926Label: Fremeaux & Assoc.

La Seconde Guerre mondiale demeure le conflit arme le plus vaste et le plus devastateur du XXe siecle. Par son intensite, sa demesure et son ampleur planetaire, elle a profondement bouleverse l'ordre du monde. Conflit total s'etendant aux quatre coins du globe, elle reste sans equivalent par le nombre de victimes et par l'ampleur des atrocites commises. Elle interroge en profondeur les rapports humains et les fondements philosophiques et politiques des societes modernes : totalitarisme et democratie, colonialisme et droit des peuples à disposer d'eux-mêmes. Realisee par Jean-Baptiste Mersiol, cette anthologie propose un parcours chronologique à travers un florilege des archives sonores les plus saisissantes de la guerre : allocutions radiodiffusees, bulletins d'information, reportages, programmes et communiques officiels. Les sources en langues etrangeres ont ete traduites en francais et sont interpretees par Sarah Eddy. Le conflit s'y deploie au fil des discours des grandes figures de l'epoque - Churchill, Staline, Hitler, de Gaulle, Roosevelt - mais aussi à travers le prisme des actualites. Une immersion puissante au coeur de l'Histoire, revelant à la fois l'intensite du conflit et la fracture morale et metaphysique engendree par ses atrocites. Patrick FReMEAUX. The Second World War remains the largest and most devastating armed conflict of the twentieth century. By it's intensity, it's excess, and it's global scale, it profoundly upheaved the world order. A total war extending to the four corners of the globe, it remains without equal in the number of victims and in the scale of the atrocities committed. It raises fundamental questions about human relations and the philosophical and political foundations of modern societies: totalitarianism and democracy, colonialism and the right of peoples to self-determination. Produced by Jean-Baptiste Mersiol, this anthology offers a chronological journey through a selection of the most striking Sound Archives of the war: radio broadcasts, news bulletins, reports, programs, and official communiques. Sources in foreign languages have been translated into French and are performed by Sarah Eddy. The conflict unfolds through the speeches of the major figures of the time - Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Charles de Gaulle, Franklin D. Roosevelt - but also through the prism of contemporary news reports. A powerful immersion at the heart of History, revealing both the intensity of the conflict and the moral and metaphysical rupture engendered by it's atrocities.
