Pop said his record company would have 'preferred that I do a rock album with popular punks' and that "They didn't think they would make any money, they didn't think my fans would like it - very sensible attitudes for a sensible sort of person - but that's a different sort of person than I am." The album has been described as containing ″crooning vocals, Cole Porter covers, soft melodies, and an all-around sense of everything suave″.

Mamirolle (film)
Mamirolle () is a commune in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France. Geography The commune lies southeast of Besançon on the first plateau of the Jura mountains. It is situated at the foot of a wooded hill and is crossed by the railroad from Besançon to Le Locle. The landscape of the town forms a wide basin with no surface drainage, since the rainwater seeps into the subsoil. Most of the land in Mamirolle is arable land and meadow land, with some parts covered in forest. Southern part of the commune extends over the slope of Mamirolle to the wooded ridge of Mont Bon, which forms the highest point in the commune at 662 m above sea level. History Archeological research determined that Mamirolle was populated very early on. A nearby Tumulus dates from the Hallstatt period, and traces of an alleged Gallo-Roman settlement site was also discovered. Mamirolle was first mentioned in 1220 as a church with the name ''Mamirollis''. Over time, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
