		<title>Extraordinary Forms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our gonzo tourism adventures in Paris continue. This morning we set off to explore an often-hidden and seldom-mentioned face of modern France: traditionalist Catholicism and the practice of the Tridentine Mass.
The church of St Nicolas du Chardonnet is located in the 5th arrondissement, in between rue des Ecoles and the eastern end of boulevard St [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yehudi Wyner on the Creative Act</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chris Lydon&#8217;s interview this week on Radio Open Source is with composer Yehudi Wyner. It&#8217;s a fascinating hour spent with an American &#8220;classical&#8221; composer  &#8211; he spends time discussing his influences, the way he approaches composition  and deconstructs some of his works on the piano.

As with many 20th century American composers, Wyner is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thelonius Monk Quartet: Salle Pleyel, 1969</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thelonius Monk Quartet in Paris, 1969, playing &#8220;I Mean You&#8220;.  Charlie Rouse on tenor is particularly strong on this performance: melodic and concise, never overpowering Monk&#8217;s composition. He reminds me a little of Dewey Redman&#8230; in fact, it would&#8217;ve been awesome to hear Redman play with the Monk Quartet!

Thelonius Monk (pn), Charlie Rouse (ts), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Le Génie des Alpages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
About ten years ago when I first lived in France, my friend Yann lent me a lot of his collection bandes dessinées, or BD. Of course I&#8217;d grown up with Astérix and Tintin (and even Lucky Luke) in English, and had even read most of these in French, but there were gaping holes in my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Plein hiver, grand soleil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally I got out of town today: I caught the RER C to the end of the line at Dourdan, and then (with the help of an IGN carte de randonnée) walked across the fields to Saint-Chéron: 14 kilometres of sunshine, snow and open space. 
I love winter days like this.

Mixed tracks in the snow

		<title>Saved in Lake Wobegon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Garrison Keillor &#8211; The News from Lake Wobegon, February 4th 2010
This is radio at its best: Garrison Keillor delivers one of the wittiest homilies on 1 Corinthians 13 that you&#8217;ll ever hear. Well worth 14 minutes of your life.
As usual, Keillor tells his story with the sort of humour that is only found in [...]]]></description>

		<title>The White Ribbon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Michael Haneke&#8217;s The White Ribbon feels and looks like a return to an earlier era of European cinema.  From a visual and narrative standpoint, the film recalls the work of Bergman and Tarkovsky in the 1960s and 1970s, and much of its power comes from its recourse techniques of these masters.
The use of black [...]]]></description>

		<title>John Dankworth, 1927-2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John Dankworth passed away on Saturday. Here&#8217;s a recent performance of his arrangement of Duke Ellington&#8217;s It Don&#8217;t Mean a Thing, still going strong at 81 at the 2008 North Sea Jazz Festival, and only hung up his saxophone in December.

This clip epitomises a lot of what Dankworth&#8217;s music meant to me &#8211; his close [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pregnant with a Banjo: Laura Veirs in Paris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Café de la Danse in the Bastille district was full to capacity last night for Laura Veirs&#8216; first show in France for a very very long time. It&#8217;s a slightly odd venue &#8211; terraced seating make it feel like a high school auditorium, and the fact the audience had to sit on the floor [...]]]></description>

		<title>Traveller, there is no road</title>

&#8220;Every man carries within him a world made up of everything he has seen and loved, and to which he returns constantly, even though [...]]]></description>
