PARIS FETE DE LA MUSIQUE.

On the first we arrived to Paris, it was the annual Fete De La Musique (Day of Music) Festival. It's unlike anything we have in NYC> Imagine Summerstage, but one in every single neighborhood of NYC! It's pretty incredible. Each circle you go to has a different concert and live band or DJ playing. Respective cliques and subcultures gather and party all day. The whole city comes alive. With that comes some craziness. Suburbanites come from the outskirts to raise hell and ill shit usually goes down. You'll see what I mean.

僕達がパリに到着した初日は一年に一回行われるFete De La Musique(音楽の日)フェスティバルが開催されていました。僕たちが見慣れているニューヨークのSummerstageが一つ一つの地区で行われている様な規模です!地区ごとに違うコンサートやバンドやDJのライブが開催されていました。色々なグループやサブカルチャーが一緒になって一日中パーティーします。都市丸ごとが生き生きしていました。それにちょっとやりすぎも。郊外からやってきた人たちが中心部に来て、暴れて、ばかげたことが起こります。どういう事か後で分かります。

Jay from BKRW is an excellent host for Paris. Jay, merci beaucoup pour tout. The free biking system they have in Paris ( Velib), is awesome...when it works. But it's an incredible example of urban development and community service functions. NYC needs to take heed. BKRWのJayはパリでとてもいい案内役でした。Jay、merci beaucoup pour tout。パリにある無料バイクサービス( Velib)は最高...機能すれば。でも、都市開発とコミュニティーサービス機関のとてもいい例です。ニューヨークも見習わなければ。

Spotted this guy at the music festival rocking Pigeon NBs. Very brave of him...

音楽祭でPigeon NBsを履いていたこの人を発見。勇気があるな...

The Pigalle shop which hosted this particular concert we were at with Pain Au Chokolat performing. Pain Au Chokolatがパフォーマンスをしていたコンサートはこの Pigalleショップが主催していました。

Paris Swat preparing for the day's craziness. They look like Snake from Metal Gear Solid. They are very tech'd out. Well, they need to be for what we saw. Someone started a fire on this motorcycle stand out in front of the building and we were literally one of the first ones on the scene to spot it. パリのSwat隊が今日の騒ぎのために用意万端。彼らはMetal Gear SolidのSnakeに見えます。とってもハイテクです。それもそのはず。誰かがこの建物の前に停めてあったバイクに火を付けて、僕達はその第一発見者でした。

We came back the next day just to check out the aftermath. From Triumphs to Tricycles in 5 minutes. 次の日に焼け跡を見に行きました。5分でTriumphsが三輪車に。

Yeah, ever since I saw Fetes de la Musique I never figured out why nobody imported that concept anywhere. I think they're trying it in Montreal now but on a very small scale.
