A new month begins, October being both a good month for traffic to the site and a month that saw us begin to get more regular content again.
We again saw a great number of visitors this month, not far off our peak, which is always encouraging. Hopefully we've also turned a corner in terms of getting more articles on the site.
November continues the busy pace of releases and live date, with a sold out UK tour by Christine and the Queens on the agenda in the next couple of days.
She plays shows in at the O2 Academy in London, O2 Apollo on Manchester and the O2 Academy in Glasgow on Monday.
Mick Harvey, meanwhile, speaks about his relationship with the work of Serge Gainsbourg at an event at the Institut Francais in London tonight.
Elsewhere, Caravan Palace play Dublin, Manchester, London and Birmingham this month.
La Femme play one night in London at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on November 17, and M83 play the O2 Academy on November 23.
Gojira, possibly France's most successful metal act ever support Alter Bridge on their tour of the UK this month, with arena gigs in Manchester, London,
Nouevelle Vague, St Germain and Zombie Zombie are also playing around the UK.
As for major releases this month, the new album by Justice drops in a couple of weeks. Can't wait.

Thanks as always to the French Music Office in London and to the Institut francais in London for their help and encouragement.
Merci et à bientôt
