Today's post has nothing but tracks with French vocals. You wish you could sing along, don't you? The following track is from Grand Popo Football Club , and is the French version of "Men Are Not Nice Guys," which you may know. Somehow, it just sounds better in French. Grand Popo Football Club - Les Hommes C'est Pas des Mecs Revolte have been around for awhile, being signed to the Kitsuné label not too long ago. The crash test dummy duo make great [...]

I don't exactly feel dirty or anything after listening to this song, but I do feel more than a little guilty for liking it so much. It's pop, pure, sweet French pop, and I adore it. J'adore Alizée! I mean, how could you not ? Alizée -- "Fifty Sixty (David Rubato Remix)" mp3 off Psychédélices ( buy ) Leave Comment

Over the last few week's I've been listening to the european electronic artist David Rubato . As a songwriter and producer on the Institubes label he has put out some of my favorite music. So here are some of his remixes and originals, Enjoy! Circuit (Edit) - David Rubato Circuit (Steve Moore Remix) - David Rubato [...]
David Rubato é mais um francês que está se aventurando no fértil terreno do house, electro, maximal francês... afora. Manja qual? A galera toda que a gente tem consumido feliz da vida, dos Justice até quem foge do eixo Paris-Londres, como os Digitalism . E o lance é a interação que tem rolado entre esse povo, que ecoa no Brasil com bons representantes. O cara aí está sob a label Institubes , que ainda conta com Das Glow, [...]

Back from under the Sicilian sun - interesting how no islander gets upset when Mount Etna rumbles really loud. Or when she's spitting lava at night. Enfin, had a great time. Found some incredible tunes in my inbox on my return, and here they are. Marianne Dissard send a great version of Piaf's Padam, Padam. It was recorded live, at night, because in Tucson it's waaaay to hot to do anything at daytime. Marianne writes: 'This version of 'padam, padam' i recorded at jim waters' studio, with French Tourist (ex-Little Rabbits' Laurent Allinger) on all sorts of vinyl [...]

Coconut Joe popped me a Gmail the other day with an Alizée vid in it. I hate to say it but I kinda liked the pop sound and the sexy French vocals (not to mention the sexy French legs). The song from said video is the first one below. Don't know much about Alizée, nor do I want to. Simply knowing she is French and sexy is enough for me. Listen: Alizée ~ J'en [...]
Men who sing songs meant for women and vice versa - gotta love 'm. Travis covering Britney Spears, Lyle Lovett singing Stand By Your Man , Nina Gordon turning NWA's gangstarap-classic Straight Outta Compton into a campfire-singalong , like I said, gotta love 'm. French Nouvelle Star-winner (think American Idol) Julien Doré adds his contribution to the list via a great cover of Alizée 's poptastisc Moi...Lolita . It's not just funny, it actually works with his guitar-arrangement. Waaaay better than the trance-version that also exists of this [...]
