Alizée - France

So, I was thinking ;) ...when was the last time Alizée performed live in France? Since En Concert in 2004?
Not including Les Enfoires. I was thinking just live on stage...
There were a few for television...let's see...here are some of them...
There was TV5 Monde


Threre was 'Love is all you need" and "Hung Up"


A few duets...


There were many MJ television performances...the blue shoes, the MJ outfit, the high low hem outfit...yeah, that's how I remember them.
The same for 5060...Live for M6 and more...
too many to post...what? too many...Alizée has done more then we realize...it is just that they were on French television. France...You are lucky

So, the non television, non Les Enfoires, performance in France since En Concert...this is what come up with, you know the NRJ tour show in Ugs, Edie tights, leather jacket and tunic top...there I go again...
As far as I know that was not for television...I could be wrong & it's the only one I could come up with...you?


The few concerts may have been in Moscow and Mexico but France...you have her all the time! I did not realize this until I thought there were too many videos to post.

I put this together on a whim...correct me or add to it if you feel like it.

Alizée jigsaw puzzle

An Alizée jigsaw puzzle? Ahhh go ahead, you know you want to.
It's 40 pieces of fun :) just click on the pic



Yeah, I like that pic....it's not 1080p or HD, it's like a water color and the look...
What pic would you use...

Teaser



WHAT..."without affording satisfaction"
Are you experiencing AD? Alizée Dysfunction.
We all are...it is almost 2 months since the teasers appeared, it is no longer a tease it is now torture.

And yet the only thing we can do is wait. Rumors are always flying about...it is difficult to determine if they are leaks, teasers or just another rumor. They are fun to read but I hold back on repeating them as news.I guess I could repeat it as rumors, but...WWAW - What Would Alizée Want
We shall see what stories gain momentum and which fade away and if any state references...most do not.
I will slip one in when it when I think it is appropriate.

Do you really want me to start signing off...until we meet again...Gossip Girl XOXO

Alizée thoughts

As we sneak up on the new year there some random thoughts that have on my mind.

With the teasers and anticipating more Alizée I almost am forgetting that this will be a concept album. I was reminded of this by Roman (@RoTwit) from his thoughts on the movie "Factory Girl". "Factory Girl" is based on the life of Edie Sedgwick. It is a good movie to get some idea of what life was like at 'The Factory' with Andy Warhol and possibly some insight on some of the songs we are about to hear. Keep in mind Lou Reed was an integral part of 'The Factory' scene and his thoughts were not kind. For us I feel it can give us an overall feel for the her situation and possibly some insight into the upcoming songs.

Being an Alizée fan we find ourselves learning other things...some are learning French... I like learning about the French culture. It is not always easy to understand how other cultures think and act. Something we have no problem with another culture may find it improper or insulting.

So, do you wonder about ... Alizée first having a song and now a whole concept album centered on an American? Or being popular in Mexico...and if that impacts in any way, shape or form her popularity at home. From my point of view I do not see how any of that matters, but again it is just my point of view...

Alizee Nation random visits...

First let's start off with a quick review, no new news. OK, now that we covered that....alright I will take a little more time on that... so what DO we think. I would be surprised if something would break now, so many other things going on in the world...Holiday seasons, the new year, Tiger Woods....you know, important stuff! If I had to guess, and believe me I have to ;), we may possibly, probably, maybe see some version of a new years tweet.

Does the release time of an album mean anything to possible awards? Oh gosh, I do not want to even speculate on that. But did I not just speculate, no no I did not. Speculation got my derriere a little too close to the edge lately...

On to these random visits...visitors will visit just one odd post and then leave. One of my goals was to attract random visitors and perhaps get them curious and covert them into Alizee fans. (Lowered voice) Yes, it was my one man mission in life.

I find it amusing they visit some odd post and go....one really bad post...no wait, there is more, there are really 5 good posts out of 600...

But in return I find odd things too!
Here a Czech article in which the author lists 10 great rock records. Alizee's Mes Courants électriques is one of them. I am not here to argue the validity of his choices but to realize he had a choice. Not everyone everywhere is even aware of album to make it a choice, it kind of makes me sad...

Here it is, randomness in reverse

Alizée vs Annette

Thank goodness for other Alizée fans out there. Today a tweet from @AlizeeSAfrica pointed out a website that compares Alizée to Annette Funicello. @AlizeeSAfrica graciously referenced a link to Alizée America from a post from docdtv

Alizée vs Annette

I realize this is a small target audience for this, but there was some work put in here and it needs to be recognized. As always, if I missed any proper reference just let me know and I will correct it.

Alizée - My Team

From the Alizée tweet of May 12, 2009. This tweet is titled "My Team"



One thing leads to another...Just because I can not tire of that Ray Ban pic does not mean everyone else may need something different every now and then. I do admit it was a hint given to me and do not let it be said I will not try things. I thought perhaps I should match my twitter, but this picture has been in the back of my mind for days. So I decided to take an new look at it.

What did find? Well now! I realized...I can start to identify a couple of those people in that picture!
Starting on the...
What..for those in the picture...did I tease you?

The Game.
I think I have learned the game... If I say who I recognize I will get tweets, email, contact denying association and all that.

So I will say that if you happened to follow along these many months since this picture was taken you will find leads that help identify some of the team.

Thank you for getting me to look at pics again...
This may give some of you something to do while waiting for the new album
Alizée, did I play the game correctly this time? Now you know that I know something but neither of us are saying...
oh who am I kidding...silly blogger, teasers are for Alizée

Synchronicity

A few posts ago I was talking about Coachella and picked out a French band that is being rumored to be playing there. So the way things work in my life Synchronicity kicks in.

First, I had this day dream or thought...it would be fun to do an interview with Alizée on Lucky Stars and Synchronicity in lieu of the usual. Well that was a silly frivolous thought not worthy of any type of post. I do not even know how to work it in except for a few lines...

Second, I mention this French band Phoenix...a French band at Coachella...
This band was brought to my attention earlier so I was aware of them
1) I happened to be looking at the latest rumors for Coachella and saw them listed, huh OK
2) Listening to Sirius Hits Spyder Harrison countdown in the car...wait I know this one...it's Phoenix
Their song, 1901 was number 32 this week. (checked online and it was #17 week of 11/23), hmmm didn't know that.
3) TV is on, a commercial for Cadillac comes on...what???


Not bad for a French band in the US. So there, I mentioned it...Synchronicity...stop showing up...it's driving me crazy...

Does this stuff happen to you too?
Wonder when I'll be doing that interview...

NRJ and other French things

NRJ (acronym read as énergie in French, pronounced [enɛʁʒi]) is a French multimedia group based in Paris. Since its foundation in 1981 as a French pop music radio station it has grown and evolved to become the NRJ Group.[1] Since 2002, NRJ has been the most popular music radio station in France and the second most popular overall in terms of audience numbers and market share; only the talk radio network RTL has more listeners. (wikipedia)

NRJ PURE
NRJ DANCE
NRJ POP ROCK

Alizée Nation snippet

"Et sur son dos, un tatouage"

I know that many of Alizée's songs tell a personal message. I have always thought that there were instances were they try to tell us more. "Hidden eggs" in the song shall we say.

But we don't know until it happens, like mini Nostradamus quatrains....

Alizée Reflections Commentary

You remember a few posts back...a post on the website Alizée Reflections...we took a brief and respectful look at the painting "Destiny"

Well the real 'rest of the story' is in the commentary by dizzydog...don't miss it.

The Alizée community is just so freaking awesome I can't stand it!

In case you do not visit Alizée Reflections I will tell you a slight tweak was made, suggestions on good sources for buying Alizée CD's and DVD's. Hmmm, just in case you are looking to buy an Alizée CD in the near future.

It is free to join, so you can become a deviant today, you know you want to.

There are 800+ items on Alizée, most of it relevant.

I debated on posting pics...but just go check it out...I think you will be happy.

Who knows...you may become a fan of other art and artist...like I did. I found I like elevator music.

December - Alizée

Well, it's December 1st.
At this point in time I just want to be able to hear the new single and to order the new CD.

I did send a tweet to our friends at Jive Epic (and others). Looking forward to when they will be tweeting promotions.

I have speculated my way to exhaustion...it has been fun...well kind of. From the summer of 'give us the tools' to our craziness of the tweet wall contest. Then the false rumors of September and a then the website changes.

We are really close...it is difficult for me not to dig and speculate and form theories of the upcoming album. It is important not to confuse the what is about to happen, I will heed the polite "hints" of those in the know. :)
But afterwards...look out.

It now needs to be about Alizée and not about Alizee Nation.
But Alizée, if you put another teaser out there, I may not be able to help myself.

There have been reports of tinkering with the official website this morning...no myspace log on since 11/9...no twitter updates or background changes....

A quick memory flash back today

Today a saying has come out of a distant memory to haunt me...
A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...
as a young gent of 12 I sat in a class and the teacher would say..fermez la bouche
she said it just like that, no votre...that's how I know it was not said directly to me ;)
Who knew that allllll these many years later it would fly out of my memory as a saying to heed!

Playing the game

Sun Tsu tells us to know your opponent.
Bob Dylan tells us We're only a pawn in the game.

If the pawn can only make a move in the game with permission, then the pawn is a faux opponent. La Reine is merely testing through the pawn. Studying moves and capabilities, trying to know the opponent. It is a game of cat and mouse. But if you play close attention you too will learn something ...you will learn who you are really playing against...and we are only pawns in the game.

Hey! let's take a break and listen to Mr. Latex

The word is out that Alizee will participate again this year but....this is what the official website states:

Forty artists are mobilizing for the 2010 show Enfoirés Palais Nikaia Nice, for a colorful spectacle, rich in emotions.
However, the list of participating artists will not be communicated before the concert.
All Enfoirés one year may not necessarily be present at all performances, because of their other professional obligations or personal, and there may be defections last minute.

Alizée - new and old fans

I think the forums do a great job blending in new Alizée fans. It is a little different then with other singers because of the limited number of Alizée appearances. What I mean by that is you find brand new discussions over videos that are 5, 7, 9 years old. People are still "discovering" Alizée, so there is this constant rediscovery scenario going on. Let's face it, no one is discovering Madonna or Brittney today. A 2005 Brittney interview would seem ridiculous to talk about since so much has passed for her. A 2005 Alizée interview would not seem out of place to discuss. So there is this constant catching up going on and the forums do a great job providing this important link for Alizée.

I lost a link to a time line for Alizée and had to go re-find it. So I thought I would share it now that I re-found it.
http://vdb.alizee.cz/history.php

It is GREAT reading, links and all. If you have never read through this before set aside a lot of time and have fun.
As you read through it, realize 2010 is a big year. February will be 10 years for "Graines de Stars", July will be 10 years for the official release of the single "Moi Lolita..." WOW 10 years... Let's have some fun with this in 2010...and yet...it's all brand new for most.

I just want to sit...read and click through that time line one more time right now...

Something random I liked....
Newer...her appearance on a Mexican soap opera was just too cute...


Just some of the extremes.

But...if you have never watched Stars à Domicile - August 23, 2003 you have to and if you watched it 100 times it is a good time for number 101.
Catch it here at Alizée America.
...oh yeah I watched again! (guys! no tearing up)
That show has its own Alizée America podcast to go along with it.

I hope there was a little something for everyone.

Flashback - Alizée one year ago

What were we talking about one year ago???

Alizée - November 20, 2009

So Alizée, what do we know...
We have 6 teaser videos and sound at www.uneenfantdusiecle.com
and 1 with no sound at http://www.alizee-officiel.com/

2 tweets from @mellealizee to keep us going, could use another (hint)

We are expecting one slow Spanish song.

It is to be a 'concept' album about Edie Sedgwick.

The official website lists a group of producers:
Chateau Marmont, David Rubato, Jérôme Echenoz, Rob et Tahiti Boy.
It appears Jeremy is not a producer on this album as he was on Psychédélices. That has not been said, but he is not listed so is it fair to say that?

Why were we given the list of producers first? It is a bit unusual. Song names, song styles, release dates...all stuff we would love to know...but the list of producers...was someone out there saying I can't wait for the list of producers?...another tease?

Do other artist do that and I have just not paid attention? Am I thinking too hard over this wee bit of information that we have been given?

So...what did I miss....

Alizée - Une Enfant du Siecle - a new direction

The two latest Alizée official website updates.
Information regarding 'Une Enfant du Siecle'


As compared to what I could find in regards to Psychédélices...

Alizée collaborated with Bertrand Burgalat, Daniel Darc, Oxmo Puccino, Jérémy Châtelain, Michel-Yves Kochmann, and Jean Fauque on this album. (wikipedia)

well OK that said collaborated vs producers, let's see...

at Alizee America Ben listed the credits and producers for Psychédélices...here are produced by...

Fifty Sixty, Mon Taxi Driver, Mademoiselle Juliette, Idéaliser, Psychédélices & Lilly Town produced by Sylvain Carpentier & Jérémy Chatelain.
L'effet produced by Bertrand Burgalat, Sylvain Carpentier & Jérémy Chatelain.
Jamais Plus & Lonely List produced by Frédéric Lo.
Décollage produced by Kore & Jérémy Chatelain.
Par Les Paupières produced by Nellson, Sylvain Carpentier & Jérémy Chatelain.

No one the same...if this is a fair comparison...

maybe we will see some of the familiar names in music and lyrics...

While thinking about the 'A' in Jo Jacotey's post that was brought to my attention by Jenny I completely overlooked the statement "D.DAY -1"

So...you are going to tease me too Jo?

Has anyone noticed? Alizée has us on an online "Scavenger hunt"

So....D.DAY -1???

Jenny...I read your comment on the 'S' and thought 'what is she talking about'. I never noticed! I saw your information and ran....but now the you mentioned it...:)
I do that kind of thing all the time.

That covers the letter 'S"

Now on to the letter 'A' regarding a Jo Jacotey post

Jenny asked: who is "A."? A = Alizée
Yet one more ball in the air, how many can we juggle at one time. Jo seems to give all the photos he shoots 'names', so I would guess the letter 'A' stands for Alizée. It's a tease for sure. He knows we look. If he did not want us to jump to that conclusion he would not have used it. --- deductive reasoning, yeah, that's what I am going with...A = Alizée


This post has been brought to you by the letter 'S' and the letter 'A'...

So, what is next.

A comment from reader 'wt' stated: "Puzzles fascinate me - up to a point. I have reached that point."

How long can we be held at the edge of our seats? These teasers are like catnip to us we go crazy, but then the catnip nap....maybe that is why the time between the teasers, a chance for us to come down.

That leads us back to the real question...are these really teasers? Is it really a puzzle? Or just the Alizee camp organizing? Should the site really say "under construction"?

I don't know, I can't think straight under the influence of Alizee catnip.
Maybe we will get another Alizee catnip toy to play with today

Trickle of information from Alizée

The trickle of information has slowed down...ALL information has been released under strict control...and then came the Miami story...did that story upset the release of information?

Do you think uneenfantdusiecle.com was to be discovered when it was discovered??? What if it was not, would there have been a "release" of information for fans to find it??? Hmmm.

Those are the two questions on information release to date. Things that happened outside the actual release of information from Alizée or was it meant to be that way?

So, this week...will there be more information released? The website(s) updated. I would like to say "I think so" but....

It appears that Jive Epic will not be releasing information...at least to date the information has come via Alizée websites and twitter...so I expect Jive Epic to just point to that information when it is released. I think that makes sense.

One thing I have noticed is how fast fans digest the information these days...it does not have a long shelf life. Likely due to the fact that fans just want Alizée and her new music. Even the story of "Miami", did not last that long...it was a wow, really, no way.....whatever... and back to the real story of where's Alizée. I remember when stories lasted, the Tinkerbell tattoo, it took forever for that to pass. Fans have developed the eye of the tiger...all eyes on Alizée and the new album.

Magibon is talking my ear off trying to get back on with updates....

What is your most dangerous idea...

What is your most dangerous idea... is a question that you can find at the Edge World Question Center and the book What Is Your Dangerous Idea?


It is interesting, posing philosophical questions and dilemma beyond our imaginations. But what if you took that question and challenged yourself with it on a less earth shattering level. I think that is what Institubes establishes and nurtures on a musical and art level. What is your most dangerous idea, art or musically speaking and gives them the opportunity to go do it.

The idea does not have to be solving the mysteries of the universe but just pushing yourself to your creative limits.

I am thinking Institubes has provided some of that environment for Alizée and I can't wait to see the results.

There are a lot of comments lately, be sure not to miss them. They offer more information, constructive thoughts that add to the post and yeah...some fun. It would be a shame if you missed them!

Some serious stuff and lots of fun too. I really was unsure whether to do that dream post, was totally uncomfortable with it. But with the jumping in with the comments I sure have gotten a chuckle out of it. Thanks for making it work. With that last comment of Roman...is he holding out on us?...buddddy.

Do you know I have to get up earlier now just because of Alizée. I need more time in the morning for this. Is it me or has all this had an effect on you too? You are affecting my sleep Alizée. Dream wise and time wise.

There I go using effect and affect in two sentences in a row...grammar overload.

Thanks again for the comments...they have really added to the posts

We will try to keep it coming some dark and deep and some very very light. Hey pretty soon maybe I will get to write a post for the Institubes blog. I can be very deep, complicated and cool too!!!

OK. OK maybe I am not as deep and complicated.
Yeah, yeah Alizée I hear you, "what about the dream post" , so I throw in light one once in a while.
Cool? oh don't go there girlfriend. Whoa Jeremy...that's just cool talk, didn't mean anything.
Come on...it's me...I could fit in at Institubes and write some stuff no one understands...


eek, I hope everyone have a sense of humor...and did I just call Alizée girlfriend...lol

The real Alizee Miami translation

Our thanks to Roman for the 'human touch" translation of the Yahoo article.

Again, it is just an article...

The return of Alizée is coming soon... And with the best of the French Touch! (type of music named about a decade ago or so http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_house)

We had sort of lost track of her since the cancellation in March of her only concert date. She had just informed us via her Twitter that she was still with Jérémy Chatelain, her spouse and father of their daughter Anny-Lee [or Annily], thus refuting the rumors of a liaison with Julien Doré... which were totally bogus!! [actually, as I recall it was Alizée who mentioned Doré, sarcastically claiming she was running away with him, in response to the claim that she was leaving Jérémy, but whatever]

But, for a few weeks now, the buzz has begun to build. We know that Alizée always knows very well how to surround herself in her musical career. After Mylène Farmer, collaborations with Daniel Darc, Oxmo Puccino, as well as Bertrand Burgalat on her album Psychédélices (2007), we learn via her web site that she is going to release an album at the end of the year or beginning of 2010, produced in part with the darlings of French electro-pop, the group Château Marmont, but also a collaboration with the rapper Teki Latex.

Thus, the singer explores other universes light years from her first hits. This new album remains shrouded in mystery; all that we know is that it will be a concept-album dedicated to the life of Edie Sedgwick, an American model who was the muse of Andy Warhol. As a bonus, it seems the album will include [a slow dance song] in Spanish!

For the fans of the Corsican singer, there's a link with different teasers each time one connects, here, that does not allow much to leak out about the new opus entitled "Une Enfant du Siècle".

According to our exclusive sources, while their house in the Paris region is being finished, Alizée, her husband Jérémy and their little girl are seriously considering moving to Miami after the release of this album. One must understand that Alizée is an absolute star in Mexico and much better known than Madonna! Really, it's true!

Ever dream of this woman?

Did you catch Ruroshen's dream in the comment section of my dream post? He shared one of his two Alizée dreams. I am not sure I want to hear about his other one. I don't want to have to put up a warning label.

Maybe there are a lot of Alizée dreamers out there and it reminded me of this one website and I thought I would have some fun with it.

A shotgun effect of information

Just saying...throwing dots all over the board and they are meant to be random dots. I would not advise connecting them at all, just interesting reading.

Institubes website, blog, Twitter and everything else...being a Paris based label, why do they post in English? Probably no reason.

Ever catch IHEARTCOMIX ?
this is their website http://www.iheartcomix.com/
but here is their website with a slash Institubes http://iheartcomix.com/blog-tags/institubes
a lot of pimping Institubes... a blog statement "america don't think that institubes has forgotten about you" and a IHEARTCOMIX + SCION pool party held in...oh yeah, Miami.

Institubes celebrated 6 years in...oh yeah, Miami. cool junkie or Miami New Times
It was held at Louis Bar-Lounge at Gansevoort South on Miami Beach very French.

"French Touch" there was that one article that referred to Alizée with the name French Touch. Yeah this article mentions Institubes "Surkin and Para One (both institubes) leading the new school"

Enough randomness for now...don't make too much of it.
Bye Alizée

My Alizée dream

I had this rather silly dream and Alizee was in it. By the way that has never happened before and feeling really weird about it. It is not very much, here it is...

Only the Alizée part...
...this took place at a hospital...nothing wrong with me, I am just there, I look in this one room and there is Alizée and she was cutting some guys hair.

She finishes his haircut, he pays her and said thanks and starts to walk away. I walk up to him and say very sternly "You don't even know who just cut your hair, do you?"

He has a blank look on his face. Alizée is looking a bit embarrassed and shy...I turn to her and start to bumble and stumble and say "I really like your music"

Yeah, that is what I said, even in my dreams she made me act like an idiot.

What was that?
I had two big lines in my own dream. so embarrassing. You are supposed to be cool in your own dreams, right.

Perhaps I could make Alizee Nation shirts that say "You don't even know who just cut your hair, do you?"

Thank goodness Alizée does not read this.

Alizée - touring

I wonder how much music is provided by Chateau Marmont...
So does that mean they will tour together? That would be sort of nice, not out there on her own.
I noticed via Chateau Marmont's Twitter that they have toured South America, mentioning Buenos Aires and Santiago. Interesting, well at least I think so.


Then there is Tahiti Boy, I see via his Twitter he was in Las Vegas yesterday...


I guess we shall see how things develope.

Alizée - Speculations

Speculations...that is all it is. I did not realize the Yahoo article would require breaking out the paper bags to breath into to. Thanks for that Ruroshen.

Celebrities have homes around the world, Alizée starting to have her own homes around the world sounded viable, although it did surprise me.. True or not??? who knows.

But...think about the location...can service Mexico from there rather easily...international airport that can go to Mexico City or Paris... geographically speaking it could be a logical hub of operations. A business decision.

It is just speculations right now, grab your paper bags...

Alizée on South Beach...now thats's enough to make me grab a paper bag...breath aw breath

Alizee - Miami?

Here is a Yahoo article For now I am using the online translator via Google. I will ask Roman to translate it and repost his translation when I receive it.



Google translator:
We had somewhat lost track of him since the cancellation in March of his only concert date. Just be learned through his Twitter that was always with Jérémy Chatelain, her husband and father of their daughter Anny-Lee, denying rumors of an affair with Julien Doré ... which were of great anything!

But in recent weeks, the buzz began to arrive. We know that Alizée has always managed to surround himself very well for his musical career. After Mylène Farmer, collaborations with Daniel Darc, Oxmo Puccino or Burgalat Bertrand on his album Psychédélices (2007), we learn via its website that it will release an album at the end of the year or early 2010, directed by Party with the darlings of the French electro-pop group the Chateau Marmont, but also a collaboration with rapper Teki Latex.

The singer explores other worlds light years away from his first hits. The mystery remains about this new album, everything that we know that it will be a concept disc devoted to the life of Edie Sedgwick, an American model who was the muse of Andy Warhol. As a bonus, the album contains a slow ... in Spanish!

For fans of the Corsican singer, that's still a link with teasers different each time you log in here who does not leave much to filter new opus entitled A Child of the Century.

According to our proprietary information while their house in the Paris region is being completed, Alizee, her husband Jeremy and their little daughter very seriously considering moving to Miami after the release of this album. You should know that Alizée is an absolute star in Mexico and many more well known than Madonna! Yes, it's true!

Update

Ben keeping us straight
I think this article's a little confused. It's Institubes - the record label - that temporary moved to Miami while their facility in Paris was being built. Dunno if they're still there, but they were earlier this year: http://rcrdlbl.com/2009/03/23/les_six_years_du_institubes_2_2_

Alizée Tweet Tweet

Hi Alizée
New Tweets from Alizée

Haste to make you listen to a (Promt translator)


To answer your questions, lately I work with Castle Marmont, David Rubato, Jérôme Echenoz, Rob and Tahiti Boy.

The background is gone!

Alizée's pic is gone...guess a new one will be soon?

And Tweeting at 3-4 AM in the morning!!!!! Alizée do you want to go to an all night diner and get some breakfast?

Bye Alizée

*************************************************************************
oh, since the tweets were sent by 'tweetie' they could have been set to tweet at a certain time automatically...just maybe

Some new things from Alizée

Hi Alizée
So what is in store for us? A new logo. I know this does not sound too exciting but I hope it something that looks cool on a shirt and something a guy could wear...oh yeah...that means you need some shirts to sell us Alizée.

Appearing at Les Enfoires...you know...we get a little too wrapped up in our opportunities to see Alizée (me too) but let us not forget what Les Enfoires is all about, a great charitable event that Alizée participates in on a regular basis.

A press conference tomorrow 11/10/2009 and I was not invited, hmmmp. Maybe I missed the call....no messages...here I am...on the Lonely List again! What do I have to do? Do that NYC Naked Cowboy thing? Oh well, I do have some time tomorrow so maybe I will catch something...

A tour for 2010...lets just leave it at that for now. Just way to much to speculate about right now.

I see there was a log on at Alizée's MySpace. Doing a little maintenance I suppose, getting ready for the new logo, a promo to play perhaps...

Did you catch the Official Website, check it out...


Tomorrow will be fun. Alizée you can sneak in a hi to us here, some secret sign, let's see, maybe rub your tummy and pat your head at the same time...what? Too obvious, too silly...ahhh you probably can't do it anyway :) I guess you could pull your ear then...
Bye Alizée

*************************************************************************
Update from Ben
"A press conference tomorrow 11/10/2009"

The wording was "Un communiqué officiel verra le jour prochainement", which I take to mean a press release, or even less - an announcement. And since the dateline just passed in France, I think it might refer to what just appeared on her website.

I could be wrong, but just don't want people getting their hopes up for something that isn't happening.
*************************************************************************

So...a press release...which we may have already received....we can live with that.
Thanks Ben!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alizée fans and SETI

Monday November 9, 2009...we are getting into the middle of November. Jive Epic told us November...well we did get official information...or shall we say "proof of life" via the Official Website and the 6 teasers. We did see a pulse on @mellealizee twitter with the more video tweets. There are articles starting to appear, yet they are almost a reaction to us and not from any official release of information. No one is slipping up and saying anything...they are adhering to the policy that if you do not say anything you can not slip up.

The teasers are still there...but what do we make of them?

Sometimes I feel like I am part of SETI except that we are all looking for signs of "life" from Alizée.

So it is closing in on mid November, set your satellite array to watch for signs of life from @Jive_Epic, @mellealizee, the official website, myspace, news stories and any other points in the galaxy that may contain a glimmer of information about Alizée.

WAITING FOR MORE CONTACT!!!!


That was us the day LadyCameronXIII found "contact" at www.uneenfantdusiecle.com ...computers were dialing in around the world....

Now we wait for more...this child of the century...

Alizée - what is that buzz

Can you hear it?
It is a kind of buzzing sound....shhhh...listen...there it is again...it's coming from my computer...it's...it's...a buzz on the net!!!

From Closer


Prompt Translator version:
"Least that it is possible to say, it is because the singer Alizée could always encircle herself. There was Mylène Farmer first at the beginning, of course, but fast, the pretty ingenue stole her own wings, paying the luxury even to collaborate with Daniel Darc, Oxmo Puccino or else Bertrand Burgalat on her album " Psychédélices " (taken out in 2007).

Today, Alizée always aspires to more freedom and prepares studiously the big return with the gifted rapper Teki Latex, but also with Château-Marmont (a group tarbais who even succeeded in making capsize the Parisian dance floor).

Its fourth album still did not go out, but a thing is sure, it already creates the buzz on the net. Alizée, a girl in the air of time …"

A buzz on the net!!!
Alright! Who is making that buzzing sound?

Alizee Nation

Alizée - Tekilatex

tekilatex - teki latex - ttc

The name keeps coming up...co founder of Institubes

Wikipedia: Teki Latex (born 1978 as Julien Pradeyrol in Paris, France) is a Paris-based electronica, dance and hip-hop artist, working both independently and as part of the French hip-hop act TTC.

I think this is a very cool video...forward thinking...an 'army' of media assistants...
Well Tekilatex army, we will see if you find this mention in Alizee Nation.

Alizée, how did we do?

I was thinking back on the "Give us the tools" posts from July...yeah that long ago. That led me to an August 1, 2009 post of 'Bottom up Evangelism'

In that post I stated:
"Just give us, the online masses, something to organize around.
It starts with one...then another...then another, it does not even have to pretty or slick, it just needs to start."

Well I think that is pretty much what happened.

You, Alizée, started something. You changed your official web site.
Lady Cameron discovered your hidden egg.
3 videos were discovered...
It took off from there, one person told another told another...

You have Google Analytics set up on the official site. I would love to see the results of that at this point in time, ALL caused by bottom up evangelism...by "us".

There was no press release, no statements, you only tweeted about it 2 days ago...it was ALL "us", a nation of Alizée fans.

With no formal plans or structure to follow, no announcements or directions to follow, no banners to post, just a tiny morsel to organize around...how did we do???

Thank you for helping us, help you.

Alizée - slow Spanish song

From the website Kiff'Attitude we are told to expect a slow Spanish song.


English translation:
The fourth disc of the former protected Mylene Farmer, who released a few months, will have given the team she works with a sound more electro than its predecessors.

On this disc concept, dedicated to the life of Edie Sedgwick (American model who was the muse of Andy Warhol), the singer has been called to the oldest member of the crew but also the inclusive electro-pop Parisian Castle -Marmont.

A slow Spanish would also be included.

Google Translate
Two years after the album "Psychédélices" which allowed the singer to know an incredible success in Mexico, Alizée is currently working on his fourth album for release is announced in the coming months.

For her return, the singer has completely changed teams and was surrounded by big names of the electro scene. Working with rapper electro Teki Latex, Alizée is conducting its hard with the electro-pop Parisian Chateau Marmont. This fourth album is a concept disc devoted to the life of Edie Sedgwick, an American model who was the muse of Andy Warhol. The album should also contain a slow Spanish, to delight his fans in Latin America.

The buzz around this comeback already organized on the Internet where a website disseminating teasers novel has been online (see website).

Alizée - a new hook

Hook definition (dictionary.com):
Anything that catches; snare; trap
Something that attracts attention or serves as an enticement: The product is good but we need a sales hook to get people to buy it.

I shared Alizée on a different level today. To someone that does web design....
He know's I do this Alizee Nation blog and of course he thinks it's a bit odd.

But today...explained only two appearances all year. No pics at discos or anything like that. But now, on the verge of a new album.

Showed him the official web site...just the drawing. Then showed the source page...then showed him the "egg", then to the teaser page, uneenfantdusiecle, with now 6 teasers...

What do you think of that?

That's pretty cool.

No shake, no shimmy, no sexy, but a "that's pretty cool" via techie stuff...
Way to go Alizée

You don't have to watch it 5 times to realize that.

Hang around and we will help keep things fun. Don't put conditions on your Alizée fandom. I will remain a fan if she does this or does that. That just does not work with this one. Hang around, relax while we wait.

Alizée 2010

Looks like the new album is going to miss the Christmas season. Whether or not you partake in not important, it still is a good time to sell a new album.

What about January....would you release the new single before Les Enfoires and the album after Les Enfoires? Is that a distraction?

It would be cool to do Coachella Festival 2010 in April. Yeah I know, pimping it for the third year in a row now.

I took notice Nolween Leroy is releasing a new album right now and a new single is out right now. Does a fellow artist releasing a new album cause a conflict?



Are there delays...conflicts...or is going exactly to plan?

Alizée - Whale Watching

Alright, alright, alright...

On a previous post Ruroshen added the comments:
"Have you seen the quote attributed to Jeremy that says he isn't aware of a November release for...well, anything? And that the album will be 'worth the wait'?"

LOL, Ruro doing virtual CPR on Alizee Nation. Don't even think about mouth to mouth...

So let's do this...
Yes, I am aware. By now most are aware of it so you can't be stopping by here to find that morsel of information one more time. But, but, but...what about an opinion? OK, since you asked.

I looked in my little book of comments and I was fresh out for comments on yet another release date. What do you want me to say? This is what I refer to as whale watching. Over on the right side of the boat...now on the left side...now back on the right side...as we all run back and forth across the deck of the boat trying to catch a glimpse. Similarly, new album in 2009, single in November, no September, no 3rd week of September, no October, no back to November, wait not November, 2010....

I am not angry or upset. I am a big fan of Alizée, which of course you all know. I am sure I will love it when it comes out, no doubt in my mind. I just do not do whale watching very well, some might even call it the little boy that cried wolf. I guess I didn't come running this time. It's not like it was the actual song or anything, just more words.

I want to sit back and say "you win". We don't have a clue, you did it! What you won I have no idea.
But wait...I do know what you won, you won your personal life, your family life...
Obviously a decision was made and that included the decision to not even correct all the false rumors.
But wait a second you say, if Alizée wants to be..............
STOP
Alizée is what she wants to be!
That is key to your sanity, say it again.
Alizée is what she wants to be.

At this moment anyway.

What about Jeremy and his comments? Are the comments teasing us or telling us facts or....
Maybe if I get my Institubes secret decoder ring I will be able to tell you.

I absolutely loved all the fun with the website and such but this...yeah yeah just another date.

So yeah, I saw the comments and that's what I have to say about that, and here you go, another post to have reprinted under someone Else's name.

beep, beep, beep, beep...there's a heartbeat
