It was a hot day, the hottest day of August and Parov Stelar decided to marry Calexico and Gotan Project. And they had children. And they were named Smokey Bandits. And everything was so hot in the Greek Wild West. And so smokey, everything was so smokey. Smoke, smoke, from the attic they produced, driving the cattle crazy.

Eating them lazily somewhere in the region of Gruyère is a nice way to start your lazy day in the lazy French Switzerland.

A long time ago, a very long time ago, our nature was not the one that is now. She was different. The sexes of the humans were three. The male that was born from Helius, the female from Gæa and the androgyne that was both sexes together in one body and that was born from Luna. The androgyne had great strength but also great arrogance. It went against the gods and wanted to take their position in Uranus. Zeus to punish them, he cut them in two. Since then, broken, the human is seeking his other half. And the only, the only one that his old wound can heal, is Eros.
