French icon Serge Gainsbourg is feted on Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited, a disc of reverent English-language covers by cool cosmopolitans like Franz Ferdinand and Portishead; Cat Power and model Karen Elson's erotic ''I love you (me either)'' is five minutes of bliss. Target Audience Gainsbourg neophytes scared off by all that français.
