Grand Popo Football Club are a French electronic music group of a DJ/book-loving television presenter/chat show host and producer/classically trained pianist who studied at the National Conservatory in Paris, respectively.

After studying piano, composition, and electronic music, Nicolas Errèra became involved in theatre and successfully directed short films (winning the Clermont-Ferrand prize in 1991, for his Going To Dieppe Without Seeing The Sea [1]) as well as becoming half of pop duo 2 Source. Wizman, meanwhile, djed at Colombian parties in Paris. He became renowned for his show on Radio Nova that mixed easy listening, soundtracks, and electronic music. When the show transferred to television, Wizman brought in guests as disparate as Johnny Rotten and German philosophers: fortuitously, his guests also included 2 Source, an invite that rekindled Wizman and Errera’s previous friendship. gpfc’s first recording appeared on the Source Lab 3 compilation in 1996, but they did not release their debut, Shampoo Victims, until 2000 (the album was re-released two years later).

They dubbed a song that sounded curiously like the former “One …

The Greek philosophers lived in a time when the gods and the myths about them were very much alive, and there was no scientific evidence dismissing them.

Stefan Stenudd is a Swedish author and historian of ideas, who studies the patterns of thought in creation myths…. More >>
