What are you listening to now?

Nice swoop yesterday afternoon at the public library. The showcase stand was full of women, women and more women. I picked that little selection, saying to the librarian : "Well, i'm sorry but i'm afraid i'm going to strip this stand here...". And she answered me, with a nice smile : "Go on, strip it, strip it, it's made for that and it pleases us."

So, here's my company for the week-end, i think it could be worse...

Over here you can't rent music. There used to be a pretty interesting
development here with DVD renting stores 10-12 years ago, but they
didn't last very long. Maybe after 1 year, they all closed.

I guess you can find all of the rare music on Russian sites for download.

Well, i talk here about public facilities. Here in Lorient we have three public libraries, the main one in the city center and two other on the two main suburbs. Other cities of the district, as Lanester, Quéven, Ploemeur, Caudan also have their libraries, all of them working together, allowing you by example to rent any document from any library, whatever the city you're living in. This public cultural structure is managed by the district authorities and, despite some critics i make about some aspects of the politics here, i admite that culture is something that matters and that cultural structures have a good budget for this public service.

At least you still have all the libraries, book stores, Operas full
of those who want to take part of these activities and maybe
look to educate themselves... even if Cultural Education has
declined more and more in France. Even you complained
about it once Over here people don't even have any newspapers
to read. The so called Press is just... dead.

Well, it's well known that this place of South Brittany has a specific meteorological microclimate so, who knows, perhaps we also have a cultural microclimate ?

So, here we are...
