In this video, Zaho de Sagazan opens the 2024 Cannes Film Festival with David Bowie's song Modern Love. She received the French equivalent of the Grammy for this year's female artist of the year, plus 5 other awards. Her new album has gone triple platinum. She is 26 years old, I love her take on Bowie's song. I think most of all, I admire her confidence on stage.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Recently, we placed this record at the Covington Store. This one caught my eye because the theme/concept of the album is artifical intellegence, from 1977!

I Robot is the second studio album by British rock band the Alan Parsons Project, released on 8 July 1977 by Arista Records. The album draws conceptually on author Isaac Asimov's science fiction Robot stories, exploring philosophical themes regarding artificial intelligence. So relevant to today.

We have four locations - Baton Rouge, Covington, Metairie and Gulfport. Find store hours on our FB pages titled - Cool Vinyl Records and then mention any of the aforementioned cities. Take us for a spin!

LIsten to the song truckin' by the Grateful Dead. It was 56 years ago today just down the road in New Orleans where they got the motivation to write the songs.

Janurary 31, 1970
"Busted, down on Bourbon Street. Set up, like a bowling pin." Those lyrics to the Grateful Dead tune "Truckin'," which appears on the late-1970 album "American Beauty," refer to this night in 1970, when members of the group, (including Jerry Garcia in mug shot), its crew and several friends were arrested in a drug raid at a French Quarter hotel. The Dead had just played the first night of a two-night stand to open the now-legendary rock club the Warehouse. Also traveling with, and arrested with, the band was the infamous Augustus Owsley "Bear" Stanley III, known across the American counterculture for cooking up extraordinarily pure and potent L*D — including the substances used at novelist Ken Kesey's storied Acid Tests. To no one's surprise, all were released and The Dead played their second scheduled concert the next night.
