back the serge


only not the 'surge' he meant. i'm talking about the purposefully mysterious serge gainsbourg. i must be honest, i learned about serge gainsbourg because of this album cover, which i believe is a work of art on its own. i also didn't learn until later that the model in the cool jeans is none other than the actress and sometimes slinky chanteuse, miss jane birkin. i grew up knowing jane as the weedy madame redfern from the film 'evil under the sun.' i have since made myself acquainted with their musical collaborations. i like the cover better.
