How's this for kind of, I don't know, awkward?

My girlfriend's ex-boyfriend of 4 years, Yann Perreau - who has got what I estimate to be a fairly sizable audience in the Quebec market, (but I don't really know, I'm Anglais) - just released an album that is by all accounts a breakup record, a wistful, loverly, angry and embittered account of their relationship. With song titles like "J'ai un ile au coeur" (I have an island in my heart), "Goute-moi" (Taste me), and "Elle prefere les voyous" (She prefers bad boys), I'm kind of left scratching my head trying to figure out what the fuck to think. I ain't threatened, but this is just a little weird, isn't it? I haven't listened to it yet, but noticed allusions to her name in the liner notes to "Goute-moi" and had to put it away. "Goute-moi, Ginie-Gin."

Anyway, she's my muse now. (edit: This track is disgusting. You can listen to it at the above-linked website ... )

that's awesome. go see a show.

I was uninvited to the launch on Monday night. I said I'd make out with her in the front row if she brought me along, for spite. She made the right call.

it's only awkward if you actually come into contact with him. or like his music. You might wanna make fun of your girlfriend some, though.

yeah, that's really petty. why would you do that? homeboy is obviously trying to either win her back or kill himself.

To be a petty braggart.

that should certainly cement in her eyes what a confident and self-assured man you are. Can i direct you to the "why, oh why" thread when she makes her choice?

Oh, crushing.

I'm a boy, not a man.

Look at this way, someday when you inevitably break up with her you'll have the perfect album to listen to.
