Alizée best of ... continued

So if there is a best of album, will it be because Alizée can then have it under "her" umbrella and offer it in "her" store?


But then again... where is MJ, 5060... Psychédélices in the store?

I hate it when I come up with more questions then answers.

It's not always about Alizée around here

A friend just called... 7:15 am.... are you crazy calling me at this time on a Saturday...

The good news was I was already though my first cup of coffee. Ah the wonderful auto brew, setting it to 5 am. It gets up, makes my coffee and its ready when I wake up. Pouring that first cup I thought of asking my coffee maker to marry me. It's almost as good as having... well, let's not go there. I then had this idea of these self indulgent appliances and marketing them under the brand name 'significant other'.

But then it is back to le chat noir "Paris". Paris has issues, I believe she is jealous of the computer mouse, she must think that I am "petting it" and the clicking of the keyboard is some form of "play" with the computer. She becomes jealous. I had to lock her out of the office yesterday just to get some work done. Sometimes you just have to... She makes that jump onto the desk, skids a bit a la Tom Cruise sliding across the floor in 'Risky Business' in his socks and underwear. Then she strikes a pose, you know the one, wild eyed and monkey tailed! It's time to play!

We play a game called 'The Fast and the Furious, Tokyo Drift'. Getting out the string or the feather on the stick it gives Paris a chance to show off her mad drifting skills on the hardwood floors. Her internal speedometer is going 100 mph but her external speed is 1 mph.

Now the morning is slipping by faster then expected and it's not always about Alizée around here

Alizée best of...

from Lilly's nest, @nidalizee, http://www.nidalizee.com/

Exclu : un best-of avant le nouvel album de 2012 !
D'après nos informations Alizée sortira un best of de ses 4 albums studio à la fin de l'année 2011. (une version DVD avec l'intégrale des clips est envisagés).

Exclusive: a best-of before the new album of 2012!
According to our information Alizée released a best of her 4 studio albums at the end of 2011. (a DVD version with the integral clips is considered).

Let's talk

Could have said best of and leave it at that, but the emphasis on "her 4 studio albums"
that would be:
Gourmandises
Mes Courants Électriques
Psychédélices
Une enfant du siècle

Would it be just too easy to grab all the released singles?

Moi... Lolita, L'Alizé, Parler tout bas, Gourmandises
J'en ai marre!, J'ai pas vingt ans, À contre-courant
Mademoiselle Juliette, Fifty-Sixty, La Isla Bonita
Les Collines (Never Leave You)

Could you leave a released single off the list? 10 is a nice number.
If you could add one, what would it be... Lilly Town or Hey Amigo.... tough one for me, almost my two favorites.

Is it a significant statement that all 4 studio albums are now mentioned together? Would the earlier songs now be re-released under the Wisteria Song label? Perhaps that is the underlying importance of this, more of a business realignment, getting the major songs released under her label, under one roof. This "best of" may be more for business then for our listening pleasure... But what do I know???

And what about the songs, would they be redone or would it be a digital reorganization and not a total redo? Would that mean the original studio version of say... J'en ai marre would be released in the original form under Wisteria Song? Or would it be redone in the new version? All very interesting isn't it... well I think so!

The best part: a DVD version with the integral clips is considered
What? considered?
Alizée, quality clips of you are not all that common. We would want to own, pay for, sell blood for quality clips of you. What are you crazy? Of course you're going to do that for us! ptdr... OK I did get a little carried away.

nidalizee makes one statement and make it into a short story, sorry about that.

You know what else would be fun? Of course you don't, that's what I'm here for... to tell you... Alizée sings her favorites... Sounds of Silence, 99 Luftballons, Hung up on you...

The Alizée Citizenside watermark photo

I tried to ignore it...
I had hoped it would go away...
I can't help myself...

Why oh why Alizée would you use a watermarked photo of yourself?


What is it that you are trying to tell me?

Are you on holiday and not have access to your photos... but yet have access to a computer and just went online and grabbed a watermarked one? There are plenty of non watermarked ones, that does not seem plausable.

Do you want me to look further... into citizenside perhaps?
Citizenside Wikipedia

Citizenside Facebook

Let's do a citizenside search for Alizée

I don't even see this pic that she used...

Proof of Celebrity Life...

Proof of Celebrity Life...

This is what we are down to... the most basic, primal form of communication... Checking FaceBook avatars. If they are changed it is proof of activity, proof of celebrity life.

It involves the whole family for hints, well almost.
First there is Jo. Jo announced that he was going to be in Paris... time passed then he posted FB pics of his "favorite model" down on the water (not Paris) then went into FB private mode. (an easy way to go into standby mode)

Jeremy takes down his photos and puts up a new avatar showing "water" (not Paris)

Are these hints that the crew is on holiday?

Then of course Alizée changes her avatar just to let us know she is around.

That's life as an Alizée fan...

Psychédélices - La Isla Bonita

Do you own Psychédélices and no La Isla Bonita on it...

Wikipedia
French pop singer Alizée has performed "La Isla Bonita" during her first promotional tours in Europe in 2003. In 2008, a new studio version was recorded and included on the special edition of her album, Psychédélices, in Mexico. The song so far has gone on to become Alizée's first top ten single on the Mexico national top ten airplay chart along with reaching number two in her native France.

Hmmmm... that's what "they" say

It would be kind of fun to have an Alizée commentary regarding her singles. Just a little something about each on her website. Maybe even how one won out of another song... just a thought, what do I know about what would be popular with fans... without being too personal...

Insitubes and Alizée

Insitubes and Alizée

Institubes has announced it is closing it's doors. The Insitubes and Alizée relationship started out so great. Yes I know Institubes really wanted to be Indie / underground but... it was a great start.

A quick look back at that start.

Alizée - Fifty-Sixty (David Rubato Remix) from Institubes II on Vimeo.

and by the way... UEDS collectors set... limited number released, now a record label no longer in business... Now it's really starting to sound like a collectors set! Can anyone say "silver lining"

Hype Means Nothing

I have to tell them Alizée... I know, I know I'm just a rogue blog, I'm no high powered web site, no members, nothing...
But at least I'm telling them something Alizée, you do stuff and don't even comment on it and just tease us to... what? To see who notices? You are such a tease.






HYPE MEANS NOTHING I then click on English.
If you click on the TV set that has "clothes" you will see more of these type of pics on T shirts.

If you click on the TV set that has "blog" you will see this pic...

Look familiar?

Oh Please Alizée... someone had to tell them and I knew you would not. You drive me crazy. I just was not going to be able to take one more repost of a pic with "she is an angel"... With all this teasing you do and not saying a thing about it, If you ask me I think there is a bit of a devil in you :). and Alizée, don't give me the old "C'est pas ma faute"

So there you go, more connecting the dots. Hope it was fun for you and something for the forums to Twitter. So Alizée... how do I know? Oh, I just couldn't tell. A lil tease right back at ya girlfriend.

Experimental Rock

Getting back to that article from Charts in France. They called the article "Back to Basics". French Link -- English Link

Have you noticed that after a year now no one ever called it bad! That is important. Charts in France said "too "special" for the media to the general public"

Can we now begin to think of slipping "Une Enfant du Siecle" into the experimental rock class?

Wikipedia:
"Experimental rock or avant-garde rock is a type of music based on rock which experiments with the basic elements of the genre, or which pushes the boundaries of common composition and performance technique.

Performers may also attempt to individualize their music with unconventional time signatures, instrumental tunings, compositional styles, lyrical techniques, elements of other musical genres, singing styles, instrumental effects or custom-made experimental musical instruments."

Are we not there with UEDS? I think we can.

A list of other experimental albums
I know I am stepping out on ledge but it would be nice to see UEDS on this list... there with The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed... and others.

The mysterious case of the missing mixtapes

The mysterious case of the missing mixtapes

Last summer "The Teenagers" made a remix of "Les Collines". It has not yet surfaced.
Via Twitter The Teenagers tweeted they did it.
Then what happened? Let's try and figure this out.

Let's ask Alizée
15) It's in my MacBook but iTunes grabbed it and wants .99 Euros for it
14) The iPhone app for it failed
13) The French Postal System! They are looking for it.
12) It was on a DVD and I copied Desperate Housewives over it.
11) It's stuck in the DVD player
10) I put it in the Netflix envelope and am trying to get it back
9) Lil A has it in one of her players and I can't find it.
8) Papa took and is taking a picture of it (black and white of course)
7) Brother used it as a coaster
6) It's somewhere in the kitchen drawer with all the other stuff
5) I put it right here, Jeremy must have moved it, again!
4) I left it in Corsica
3) The Cat took it and buried it in the litter box
2) The Dog ate it
1) Both Cat and Dog stories (ewwww)

Do you have any clues as to what happened?
A one year anniversary surprise for Les Collines would be nice, but...
