A new Renault modus on Congress Square in Ljubljana.

Last night I was at the opening party of the new Renault Modus in the discotheque Global in Ljubljana. If you think unveiling a new car in a disco is slightly odd, you’re not the only one. Particularly when the car being launched wasn’t there. I’m guessing it was logistically impossible to drop a car into Global, especially when the club is a few stories above ground. To compensate they had a wire-framed Modus and what looked like a paper mache version on the balcony:

Le faux Modus.

Renault has a huge market share in Slovenia (around 26%) and has been the best-selling car in the country for several years in a row. It’s also domestically produced. A factory in Novo Mesto makes Clios, and will soon churn out Twingos as well.

Although I didn’t get a chance to inspect the car closely, I did get a chance to see Magnifico perform live. Maybe it was the lighting, but it seems to me that Robert Pešut (the lead singer) isn’t aging. He’s like Dorian Gray: old in his photos, and in the flesh looks like he’s about 15. (He’ll be turning forty next year.) Besides this mysterious fact, I have no complaints about the music.

My favorite Magnifico moment: After overhearing a girl say Magnifico je peder (Magnifico is a faggot), he writes a wonderful song with that line as the chorus. Brilliant.
