I’ve just found out about a fun, new service called Francophonik. It’s a place to discover new French music, download music, and win tickets for gigs and festivals. On their Facebook page you can share new French music discoveries with others.
Since I’ve been living here in England, I’ve been trying to learn a bit more about continental Europe, so discovering Francophonik has been a fun way to get my feet wet. This is a great place to learn about all of the fun, trendy, and quirky things going on in France. I love it!
Currently, they’re holding a competition in conjunction with travel company Eurolines, which offers the chance for tickets to the Rock en Seine Festival. The festival is held about 10 kilometers (approximately 6 miles) from Paris and runs from Friday, August 26th to Sunday, August 28th. They’re going to be featuring some great acts at the festival, such as: the Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, Tinie Tempah, and many, many more. This sounds like a fun line-up and I’d love to be there. I’m a fan of most music in general, so I’d like to experience as many groups as I can. Seeing the Foo Fighters would be fun though since I’ve been a fan of some of their music in the past.
If you’re in the UK, all you have to do to enter is visit the Francophonik Facebook page, like it, and then apply for tickets by ticking a box there. It’s quick and easy! After ticking the box for the festival, click on the ‘enter selected competitions’ button to be in with a chance to win some tickets. I think that this is a great way to experience the festival and soak up a bit of French culture.
The Rock en Seine Festival started in 2003 and has grown in stature over the years. It has increasingly attracted many top acts and it is a well-loved part of the summer music festival scene.
I hope that you all will go by the Francophonik Facebook page and check everything out!
I love great music and a great new pop song can always give me a lift. I’m very fond of singing along to music, even though my own singing is not a pretty sound to hear. However, I’ve just found out about someone who can sing beautifully.
Her name is Senit and she is a great singer of Eritrean origin, who was born in Bologna, Italy. She performed in the Eurovision Song Contest this year, where she represented San Marino. Now this busy artist is moving on to her next project. Senit has just released her new single “Through the Rain”, which is from her fourth album which is due to be released by the end of this year.
“Through the Rain” is a fun, upbeat song which showcases the true talent of this beautiful lady. Here’s a sample of the song for your listening and viewing pleasure.

As you can see and hear, she is an exciting performer who knows how to give the crowd a great show. Her stage presence was surely honed through her impressive list of musical theatre credits. Senit has performed in shows such as The Lion King, Fame, Hair, and Rent. Her dynamic performing style is evident in her role nowadays as an international pop star.
Senit has made a seamless transition from singing in Italian to singing in English. She has recently collaborated with some American record producers who have worked with the likes of Pink, Beyonce, and Christina Aguilera in the past. Senit is definitely an artist to get to know as her audience grows around the world.
So why not give yourself a treat and check out Senit ! “Through the Rain” is available for download at iTunes. You can also find out more about her here: http://www.believedigital.it/artists/104974,senit.html or at her official website. You can also follow her on Facebook. And hey, why not stop back by here and let me know how you liked “Through the Rain” if you do purchase it. All of us new Senit fans can have a chat!

Living in Wiltshire and being a Swindon Town fan, I was intrigued when an email concerning a new campaign by Honda dropped into my inbox. Honda is one of the major employers in Swindon where they have a giant car production plant, and a previous advertising campaign even drew on their links with the town. As a result of these links, a large proportion of the cars seen around the Swindon area are Hondas of one type or another.
This new campaign draws on Honda’s existing sponsorship of Channel 4 documentaries. Apparently, this sponsorship will not only continue throughout 2011 but will also be enhanced with an online hub and a series of mini-documentaries. These documentaries, and the associated idents for the Channel 4 shows, will feature actual Honda owners and will tell the stories of how they use their vehicles in unique ways. For example, the first of these four documentaries will feature an alpaca breeder from neighbouring Oxfordshire who uses her Honda ATV to help tend the animals.
Together with their mini-documentary, each owner will feature in a range of idents which will carry a unique URL leading viewers to extra content. The online hub at www.honda.co.uk/stories will feature each documentary in full, as well as other films, articles and interesting stories. There’s also a “Take Part” section where other Honda owners can upload their own photographs and stories of how they use their own vehicles in unusual ways. The favourite story that is uploaded will be chosen to be turned into its own documentary and series of idents for TV. Visit http://bit.ly/lsTX1A (designboom) to find out more about the competition.
