An early morning tete-a-tete with Sebastien Tellier

We met up with Sebastien Tellier this morning. Memories of our GSCE French are so poor that we could barely muster a 'bonjour' for the man.

Here is what we took from the early morning meeting.

- Apart from the 'other' publication we were speaking to Tellier for, the only other press he is doing at the current moment in time is Dazed & Confused and Playboy. We are clearly in good company here.

- He prefers peeling off women's pants to lifting up their skirts.

- He was not keen on sports in school. This was largely due to the whole 'nudity' thing which ensued in the changing rooms.

- He shunned our suggestion of recording an album with Thomas Banglater next as a companion record to the Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. He was worried he would be seen as Daft Punk's little brother.

- He has however, seen inside Guy-Manuel's helmet.

- He wants to make a movie. It will not be about aliens, outer space or robots. It will be about sex, lots of sex. He called it 'erotic' but we'd call it porn. We have no doubt that Tellier himself would like a starring role.

We will bash the interview into shape and let you know more about the Daft Punk collaborations very soon.
