I only know that December 14 is Jane Birkin's birthday because I got a charming email newsletter in my in-box that I must have signed up for a while ago. At any rate, Jane is simply fantastic and a cultural icon. My two favorite albums of hers, which I would universally recommend, are A La Legere, classic French pop, and Arabesque, something of a tribute album to Serge Gainsbourg featuring his songs set to North African rhythms.
