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?

Tattoo's...
Of course this subject had to come up with all the new pics coming out...
Now as tattoo's go...I really do not have an emotional response as some do. I am not a tattoo hater but I do have a curious side...so let's take a peek...
Old news...lizard leg................................................and tinkerbelle
Now the one on the right arm...daughter tattoo, catch a heart on the left wrist
a look at the left wrist...
Now for a little chat...
Kabbalah tattoos most often take the form of Hebrew lettering. Madonna wore a temporary Kabbalah tattoo on her right shoulder in the video for “Die Another Day.”
Madonna, Britney and Victoria Beckham
It kind of looks like this..... Happiness – Vav Hei Vav . Now I am not saying it is that, it just looks similar and could be something along those lines...it's a good thing.
Alizée News
I have to say I really did not expect new during Les Enfoires, but that is what makes Alizée so delightful, always doing the unexpected.
Todays news comes from PopHeart you can also follow @Popismyheart on Twitter
Google translator:
This is an album of French the most anticipated of 2010, "A Child of the Century" of Alizee - produced by the tip of the French electro scene - is about to be unveiled to the public.
It will indeed be available for pre-order from Monday, including the official website of the artist as a collector box limited edition.
For this new album, Alizée has surrounded Institubes label producers: Chateau Marmont, Rob, Tahiti Boy, David Rubato, Jerome Echenoz ... (We know them all but ... What is this class!)
An album that should surprise many of the trendy magazine Technikart who himself participated in the promotion of this new disc with its cover and some pages of interview with Alizée.
So...available for pre order on MONDAY
Perhaps the album cover will make an appearance on the Institube's website too. Will it coincide with a website update? Will it be noted on MySpace? Gosh I am a curious person....and who's calling in sick on Monday to check this all out?

Mythbusters...
PJ alert...this just in...from AlizeeSouthAfrica
oh no...what have I started...a business post turns into PJ postings...
Alizée, I would like to apologize in advance of anymore PJ postings....(sheepish look)
Hey wait a second...didn't I read somewhere (since not experiencing this myself of course) that French woman sleep in lingerie. (eww wee this is gonna be a slippery slope) That is French women in general (whew)(devilish look)
Now I warn you, traveling down this path could subject you to warnings (read the following with heavy echo and reverb) 'this is blasphemy' (end heavy echo and reverb) from the self appointed guardians.
Or you could just simply have a sense of humor and continue...
What we need are some of our very own mythbusters...the crew at Institubes would be great. A simple confirm or deny tweet would be hilarious but...well...it was fun to think about. Ninja J would be interesting, but I don't think I could handle what he would tell us....
If a certain someone tweets "flannel", I'm pre buying the Les Enfoires and posting the reciept....NO not you 'Alizee South Africa'. And that goes for the rest of you too!!!
