CLUE - the Alizée version
Miss Scarlet, in the library with ....
per Wikipedia - Miss Scarlett is the resident femme fatale
In response to Alizee South Afirca's speculation on the first video...oh oh I wanna play, I wanna play
So....I say its:
MelleAlizee
in Spanish
in this outfit...
Alizée - code orange
I just did a whole post on social networking and deleted it. Ha...it was long, sucked and was boring...moving on..
Getting inside Alizée's head. See...it can not be done. New pictures have come out...but not via any of Alizée's own sites...interesting.
Now added to the Alizée watch list is lillytown, psychalizee and JulienPerret Twitter
With this new activity we are now on code orange, I repeat, code orange
and Twitter of interest are goodbyedarkness and popismyheart
oh yeah I almost forgot...our forces intercepted this message from lillytown to jive_epic...I guess we should move jive_epic back to the twitter of interest list too.

Inside Alizée's head
Yeah I know...everyone else is going picture crazy, she is so pretty, she is an angel, she could never do anything wrong...and then there is me and I am trying to get inside Alizée's head. Hey, she started it! Trying to get inside my head. Look at those last 3 pictures...
...ears covered, shaved head, 45 rpm as a hat....
You're messing with my mind Alizée...I want to be across the poker table from you, of course I would beat you...ohhhhhhh that made your blood pressure jump 10 points...LOL...what, you did not think that I noticed that you were a competitor.
So if you can excuse us right now Alizée we are talking about you...
What to expect next.
I have to assume the official website is tied up until Feb 23 for pre orders. Right?
New articles could come out of no where, no predicting that, but that could happen. Pre order ends about a month before the official release of the album, so sometime in the next 7 weeks and probably sooner then later a single should be released. Would it be right after the pre order ends? That would be a likely guess.
What about something from Institubes, Jive Epic even Sony. Now that's hard to say, someone has to come out with something but who has that obligation?
So what about something from Alizée directly, there is always twitter. We may want to go on a MySpace watch. It was played with on Feb 3rd and 4th. It is an "official" site that is not tied up with the pre order...new album pic loaded, information updated, just sitting there waiting for the new single...or...a teaser?
What about YouTube? Now that's a tough one. Do you go all in like Shakira did? I noticed I can not view the videos in "my" country. I would be hesitant to use it for current music but...song teasers, the "making of" some of the songs, the behind the scenes of the making of a video (positive thinking).
But if you make a video you have to show it somewhere and then....it shows up somewhere else. 
last sign on ...1 year ago
So what we figured out...is....nothing! Alizée!!! poker face!

Institubes...Who are those guys...
Institubes...Who are those guys...I say guys because it is kind of like a boys club...and now there is Alizée!
There is a small self description on their website: "At first, it was a cute little club between card-carrying friends. Our little hut in the trees, deep in the woods, where the noise bothered no one."
It was their own little "Our Gang", the Little Rascals of Paris. From the old black and white series from the 1930's!
You see it... If Alfalfa is Para One then Spanky is...well...I think you get the picture...and there is Alizée right in the middle of them. They just need a studio dog with a circle around one eye.
Just having a little fun with "the gang"..."the little rascals"...
Institubes, more then any other label, is defined by who they are more then what they are and what they do...the label has a personality. .
I do not know what is more interesting...that Institubes worked with Alizée or Alizée worked with Institubes. I am so looking forward to this "creation"...so much more then the standard homogenized, pasteurized product on the shelf. There is nothing wrong with that, but...going for more, being creative, following your heart...that's a whole different level. You have to admire that.
The last paragraph of Institubes description says it all: "Anyway. We'll try and entertain." - That's it, that's all I ask. Be creative and try to entertain.
Henry David Thoreau wrote in 'Walden', "If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured, or far away."
(Who are those guys...1969 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)
(Thoreau was an early influence on me..'Civil Disobedience' - ahh of course you say, but until today I never gave thought that Thoreau is of French origin)

Geometric Alizée
Geometric Alizée
Does it mean anything...the design...anything to do with Sacred Geometry?
Perhaps copying the design of the sunflower and incorporating the Fibonacci Sequence
Maybe it is just decorating with geometrics...
Or is it a spirograph gone wild!
Fun or a message....
The Hybird Forum
Twitter is turning into the the Hybryd Forum
Different Alizée forum members are meeting and sharing on Twitter
It is nice to see different forum members from different forums and countries getting along...and all without the use of a moderator...now how can that be....

Alizée, Vinyl and Ears
wt had asked in a previous post:
"Why is Alizee covering her ears with her hands? Or is that just another clue to the story? And why include "vinyls" in the preorder special? I got rid of my record player 20 years ago. Maybe the included book will explain it all."
Lets start with the vinyl...Madonna said it best in a word "Vogue". The prevailing fashion, practice, or style. It is the latest trend. Yesterday at a coffee shop they were playing vinyl LP's! I inquired on why they were doing this....or was it because she was attractive....no matter...it's the latest thing they told me. They all have some vinyl and they bring them in and play them in the coffee shop. (side note: yes I did share the news of Alizée and her latest boxed set)
Here is a very good Time Magazine article on the subject. The title is "Vinyl Gets Its Groove Back".
Now the next question is....do you play them? It's a collectors set. Do you even open it?
Your Barbies, Ken's, G.I. Joe's and yes....dare I say it..you Star War figures (smh) are worth more if they were never opened.
So, ...are you going to open yours???? Inquiring minds want to know.
So, collectors boxed set, vinyl...it's all the rage.
Now on to your first question. ""Why is Alizee covering her ears with her hands?"
Well that goes back to my post Apple and Mac tattoo's - iAlizée? no? where I made a comment about her showing too much ear in some of her pics...so....she decided to cover them up for fun on the album cover...
"pause"......
"pause"........
"pause"..........
what? you don't think that's it? really?

Alizée...you and your team are driving me crazy...
Last week I am all over the magazine Amusement...
Why you say...
Because House of Kids did some artwork for them...
ah ha...lesson learned...unfortunately I am more like the Pink Panther then Sherlock Holmes....if one of the inner sanctum shows up somewhere...keep an eye out...
Last night I can't stop thinking about this picture...

Remixes...
There have been some articles regarding remixes that have caught my eye.
The first was from TASHED regarding the band Phoenix: PHOENIX REMIXES KEEP ON COMING
The second regarding the same subject from Music Under Fire Phoenix: Remixes
I anticipate Alizée to have her share of remixes with this new album. The association with Chateau Marmont and Insitubes will attract more remixes then we have seen in the past. Whoa...did I go out on a limb there? No longer just a redistributer of news, or opinions, now predictions...If I am wrong you can cut my pay.
So, what about remixes? Everyone knows, you take a song, put your own video to it and YouTube shuts you down due to copyright violations. As it should be. Some songs/video can not be seen in certain countries.
But what of this remix thing....change the tempo, call it a remix and....
What does Wikipedia have to say on the subject
"A remix is an alternative version of a song, different from the original version.
A remixer uses audio mixing to compose an alternate master recording of a song, adding or subtracting elements, or simply changing the equalization, dynamics, pitch, tempo, playing time, or almost any other aspect of the various musical components
Copyright Implications
Because remixes may borrow heavily from an existing piece of music (possibly more than one), the issue of intellectual property becomes a concern. The most important question is whether a remixer is free to redistribute his or her work, or whether the remix falls under the category of a derivative work according to (for example) United States copyright law.
There are two obvious extremes with regard to derivative works. If the song is substantively dissimilar in form (for example, it might only borrow a motif which is modified, and be completely different in all other respects), then it may not necessarily be a derivative work (depending on how heavily modified the melody and chord progressions were). On the other hand, if the remixer only changes a few things (for example, the instrument and tempo), then it is clearly a derivative work and subject to the copyrights of the original work's copyright holder"
This opens up a Pandora's Box full of questions
Do remixers pay royalties?
If a sports venue plays a song royalties must me paid, what if they play a remix? Are royalties paid to the remixer, the original artist, both, neither?
If a non-professional remixes a song and calls it a remix, will it pass on YouTube?
Will a song not allowed to be seen in a certain country via YouTube be allowed to be seen/heard if it is remixed?
Isn't this fun....
Someone associated with Institubes knows the answers...

Or if the pre order is ready or not....
wishing and hoping and...
What else is there to do...might as well have some fun
When life give you lemons, lets make lemonade
well there went 15 minutes of my life I'll never get back....:)
Les Enfoires aftermath...
Giving time for everyone to get home and settle down let's hope for some additional nice photos and pictures to appear to wrap up Les Enfoires 2010. We can only hope.
Perhaps Jo Jacotey will have something available to share.
Today has been a bit of a waiting game for Alizee fans...looking for the pre order page....
It has been suggested that the pre order was a test or trial balloon to gauge initial interest in the new album Une En Enfant Du Siecle.
Well I have conspiracy theory of my own....perhaps the pre-order story was leaked as a test to see how many people visit the official website to see how many would be interested in a pre-order which in turn is a test to see how many are interested in the cd....you do realize I am joking...right.
There was a 10% jump in official website visits from the 29th to the 30th. Keep in mind the real jump will occur when information is verified and turns real. Is it real? There are 7 hours of Paris time remaining on this Monday. We will be back.
Lily Towners...
Did anyone catch the "Lily Towners" hanging out on Twitter together waiting for that pre order announcement...It's 9:30 am Paris....nothing yet

What next Alizée
I guess we look for the official notice or the insiders leak or for someone to just stumble across it first...the place to pre order....
The consensus on Twitter is that the pre order allows a way to track interest. Can not argue with that.
But did you notice the other consensus...no one believes it till they see it anymore...
I guess it's time to visit Jive Epic again? Remember when they were the source?
What next?
