"Down In The Alley" - Elvis Presley

An alley in the 13th.

"Cool For Cats" - Squeeze

"The Overly Dramatic Truth" - El-P

This stencil says : "where is Guy-André Kieffer". Guy-André Kieffer is a journalist who disappeard in april 16th 2003 at Abidjan, Ivory Coast. His family doesn't know where is he and think that he have been kidnapped. You can have more informations about it on this wikipedia link.

Bonus Track : a live video of the song-title of this post. for once, a hip hop track but not a 50 cents-style hip hop ; El-P is the opposite of it by the texts and his music.

"Factory" - The Vines

This ancient factory of "shoes & clog" is now a house. It's funny to see that the owner kept the sign on the front.

"A Car" - Tony Chick

One of my favorites cars, the Beetle (not the "New" one !!)

"Window" - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

I saw this window in a little street of the 13th arrondissement with these decorations. My favorite is the one with the kangaroo ; everybody knows that there is a lot of kangaroos in the 13th, especially in the 13th ...

"Dead End Street" - The Kinks

A very nice place made out of two streets in the 13th, "le square des Peupliers" (poplar square).

Bonus track : another awesome pop song, "Dead End Street" by the Kinks (you would have guess ...)

"Spray Paint" - Black Flag

It make me think of an asian paint : the color, the figure in the center and the ornaments in the angles (like a lotus ?).
Unfortunately, it was not possible to take a better photo ...

"Alabama Song" - David Bowie

I've already post the same kind of "vintage" ad here, but not for the same liquor.

"In My Eyes" - Minor Threat

This graffiti is a part of a wall wich was completly recovered, but this one was very good.

"Ain't No Mystery" - Smash Mouth

(No post yesterday : a Blogger problem)
I've read an article in a French magazine about the suspended shoes. I took this photo at La Butte-Aux-Cailles street. It seems that this same phenomenon appeared in several cities (Vancouver, San Francisco, Sydney, London etc...). The object of this installation is not clear and there is several explanations : a den of a drug dealer, a marriage, end of school... I don't know if another Daily City Blog has post something about it.
