No Weeds Allowed: The Mediaeval Baebes and "L'Amour de Moi"

Our random tune for today is by the Mediaeval Baebes. The Mediaeval Baebes began in 1996 when a group of friends led by Katherine Blake of Miranda Sex Garden broke into a North London cemetery and sang a capella in flowing white robes and leaf garlands. They soon became an ensemble, and their first album, Salva Nos, shot to number two on the classical charts. It not only are they very talented, they are also very beautiful women. The group has since had many incarnations. They sing in an array of obscure and ancient languages, and have placed three albums in the top ten of the classical charts and participated in the BBC's television series The Virgin Queen. This song, L'Amour de Moi, is from their 2002 album The Rose and can also be found on their 2003 CD Mistletoe & Wine. The song is sung in French, and is an allegory where love is equated with a pretty garden.
