Eden, the film
At last year’s Toronto International Film Festival Sarah spoke to director Mia Hansen-Løve about her film exploring the French house music scene of the ’90s, Eden.
The film, which roughly follows the adventures of her brother/DJ Sven Hansen-Løve, also features some amusing misadventures about Daft Punk.
With the film set for release in America Sarah interviewed Mia Hansen-Løve for Consequence Of Sound.

The DeFranco Family
What happens when the kids you know from next door become super-famous pop stars?
To start, your aunt steals their rulers from class.
At least that’s what happened with Sarah’s aunt when the improbable five-piece The DeFranco Family became pop royalty for a couple years in the early-1970s.
Sarah dug deep into how the band’s success — there was a point when only the Jacksons and Osmonds were bigger than them — affected a small town like Welland, Ontario.

Darkness On The Edge Of Town
Sarah recently wrote a story for Consequence Of Sound’s Aux.Out section about how she learned to love a post-irony music world via Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness At The Edge Of Town.
There is, to be fair, a lot more to it than just shunting off old Beck songs. In the story, and in real life, she confronted some school bullies from her past.
The end result: singing “Badlands” at the top of her lungs.
