Yann Pierre Tiersen (born 23 June 1970) is a French Breton musician and composer. His musical career is split between studio recordings, music collaborations, and film soundtracks songwriting. His music incorporates a large variety of classical and contemporary instruments, primarily the electric guitar, the piano, synthesisers, and the violin, but he also includes instruments such as the melodica, xylophone, toy piano, harpsichord, piano accordion, and even a typewriter.
Tiersen is often mistaken for a soundtrack composer; he himself states that "I'm not a composer and I really don't have a classical background," but his real focus is on touring and recording studio albums, which are often used for film soundtracks. Tracks taken from his first three studio albums were used for the soundtrack of the 2001 French film Amélie.
The only French people I've ever known were exactly like any other people I've ever known. Each one was an individual with their own personality owing very little to whatever nationality or ethnicity they came from. That is to say, a nice person is a nice person, and a jerk is a jerk, and it has NOTHING to do with ancestory.
But that doesn't make the French castle scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail any less funny.

Wait! WUT!!? My mother smelled of elderberries?
I don't think I understand the question.
We miss Cynaera so much... everybody in my elevator loves this groovy song... we love Radio Paradise...
Wait! WUT!!? My mother smelled of elderberries?
No, your mother was a hamster, and your FATHER smelt of elderberries.
Interestingly enough (to me at least), someone parsed this insult out to mean "your mother is a whore" (breeds like a hamster) and "your father is a drunk" (ie, elderberry wine). Whether that's true or not, I'm unsure, but I find it entertaining, nonetheless.

When I was in Paris for a couple of days 21 years ago a group of Parisians where so kind to me it still moves me today.
I suppose it's a sign of the times, but I read the album title as Les Retroviruses
That's one of monsieur Pasteur's later works, I believe.

Come-on mate, culture does matter, and we, French people, do not usurp our reputation of being pedantic and selfish. Of course this depend on everyone's own personality, I'm not saying it is general trait of personality, it's just a tendency.
And thanks by the way for the reminder in this thread here: I still haven't watched Monty Pythons Holy Grail this year. (that's almost blasphemy).
Checks the artist... Tiersen... Oh that's why...
