Boby Lapointe’s Music Truffaut’s Film

Part of what makes Francois Truffaut’s classic, Shoot the Piano Player so cool is certainly the music, which comes from the wild man musical genius, Boby Lapointe. My favorite bio of Lapointe tells about how he painted a church lime green on Easter Sunday and shaved a tax collector’s dog, an expensive Pekinese Pedigree, clean as the Taco Bell puppy. Lots more to be found in a Boby Lapointe google search of course. One of the coolest songs from the the movie is called Framboise, which means Raspberry. I tried to do a translation via Babelfish after finding the lyrics to Framboise in French… but it came out looking like too much jibberish, which is actually part of Lapointe’s style - he was a lover the absurd… but the computer based translation jukebox took it over the cliff. oh well.

Here’s the update…. the film has been put to tape, encoded for downloads, re-encoded for streams, images… all set. So…. close, but i gotta run. Should be up by Friday… Frank Random is looking to make a preview, so please bear with us.
