Rock and Roll Hits Vol. 2 (2008)

C’’est pas compliqué c’est du “rock agricole” - Vous ne savez pas ce qu’est le “rock agricole”? - C’est un mélange de “rythm’ n’ bouse”, de “folklore alternatif”, “d’acid trad” et de “pecno”. - De la “word music” me direz vous? - Mais non malheureux, c’est de la “départementale music”! - Bon vous ne voyez toujours pas? - C’est simple, c’est comme à la radio (non pas starac, de la vraie musique avec des vrais morceaux de vrais instruments dedans), mis à part que les textes, ca ne serait pas: “que je t’aime à mourir mon amour sur la plage à mourir un soir d’été sur la plage mon amour à mourir de chagrin. - Les thèmes abordés seraient plutôt : la sexualité dans les campagnes, la chasse, la sexualité à la campagne, la pluie, la sexualité et la campagne, le beau temps, la sexualité avec des compagnes, sans oublier la bouffe gastronomique. - Mais comment évoquer tant de subtilités pensez-vous? - En Français et en occitan (patois du coin). - Pourquoi l’occitan ? - Parce que l’occitan c’est excitant ! - C’est une démarche culturelle ? - Non ! - Alors c’est quoi ? - C’’est une mixture qui a toutes les caractéristiques d’un produit marketing, à la seule différence qu’il s’agit d’une démarche spontanée et authentique. Les banlieues ont le rap, les campagnes ont le rock agricole !.
