Campy French Video Collection

I'm looking for the name of a collection (..website??) of mostly French...very campy, old music videos. It's called Scopetones or something. Does anyone know what I'm referring to?? Does anyone know the web address or where one can buy them??

It's called Scopitones; I have one DVD of them, which I bought at a Serge Gainsbourg tribute concert not too long ago. They might be on ebay...?

Ahhhh! That's what they're called. I fell in love with these when I was was in my early teens, then kinda forgot about them. Check out this website: http://scopitones.com/index.html.

Thanks for the invite MBA! But I'll be out of town this weekend....
You might want to check out some modish music by a little known "blue-eyed soul" singer named Sharon Tandy. She's sort of like Dusty Springfield..same era, same feel but Jewish!
The album is called "You Gotta Believe it's...." or something like that.

Hey MBA, how was your party??????????
Any appearances from any known modsters?

It was a lot of fun, thanks for asking!

All the modsters that showed up were known! At least to me...

Well, mf, since you asked...

This guy figured out how to connect an old-fashioned receiver to his cell phone--it really works!

This was at the after-party...

And this was at the after-after-party...we were pretty effed up at that point:

Hmm..the guy with the phone looks familiar.....

I think his name is Brian something...if you know him, don't tell him I put his picture on the Internet!

Not ringing any bells...but if I meet him, I won't tell...
