I'm having a bit of an issue tracking down the remixes but this album is fucking classic so far. SPENCER CHOW HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS CHICK?

like, a little warning next time please, I know Mackro Mackro and a few other people dig on that shit but some of us have, uh, working pituitaries

El Tomboto, Saturday, 8 December 2007 07:23 (sixteen years ago) link

haha I didn't even watch that video long enough to realize it wasn't J-Pop

El Tomboto, Saturday, 8 December 2007 07:25 (sixteen years ago) link

still BLARGH

El Tomboto, Saturday, 8 December 2007 07:25 (sixteen years ago) link

haha sorry, there are some pretty great/crepey ytmnd's of that show

bnw, Saturday, 8 December 2007 07:26 (sixteen years ago) link

so anyway I'm surprised "Mal Poli" isn't a single yet, I love this shit.

El Tomboto, Saturday, 8 December 2007 09:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh man! I love her "A Cause Des Garcons" cover. Fan-bloody-tastic. I'm also in love with the blokes in the clip: the Punky haircut, skinny jeans and kandy kolored sneakers. Yum yum. So this is apparently zee nouveau thing: Tecktonik. Anyone know more about this genre? I need to get more of this, uh, stuff.

*drool* Yes, I'm a pathetic mother of two who's drooling over these 20sths. :-(

nathalie, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 10:23 (sixteen years ago) link

I wanted to like this, but the original remains way better

baaderonixx, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 10:38 (sixteen years ago) link

You're right, but I can't help enjoying this as well.

Yelle- Cause des Garons (Riot In Belgium Remix)

anyone heard this version? any good?

nathalie, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 10:43 (sixteen years ago) link

nathalie, you know you're drooling over 3 super gay dudes?

jaxon, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:05 (sixteen years ago) link

sweet, the ACDG single is on amazon.com downloads now

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:08 (sixteen years ago) link

Tombot, I have mentioned Yelle on other threads! I am obviously a HUGE fan and urge anyone who likes Annie to check her out.

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Exactly my position

I actually prefer the single mix:

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link

I actually play it out often.

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link

There's also a fun edit of her "Ce Jeu" which throws in some synths from Heaven 17's "Let Me Go" by LA's own Them Jeans.

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 20:22 (sixteen years ago) link

"YELLE" is french for HOLLA t/f?

moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 21:33 (sixteen years ago) link

It should be because the tepr rmx of ACDG is FUCKIJG AWESMOE

good version, a little too short!

Err, I'm not sure you do, Nath, unless you have a soft spot for cheap-ass euro-trance

if this interview is to be believed it's an acronym for "you enjoy life," feminized because there's a Belgian band called Yel.

Nick Minichino, Thursday, 20 December 2007 18:25 (sixteen years ago) link

Yelle es beau...

henry s, Thursday, 20 December 2007 18:49 (sixteen years ago) link

with some of the crap that's getting posted in the singles/albums of the year nominations thread I'm surprised this hasn't shown up. On the other hand, I'm really not.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 December 2007 21:52 (sixteen years ago) link

Should maybe run a myspace/youtube specific poll for song of the year, just for Je Veux Te Voir/Chocolate Rain/Crank That

El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 December 2007 21:57 (sixteen years ago) link

I think it was nominated for the 2006 poll. but no harm in nominating it again.

danzig, Friday, 21 December 2007 01:18 (sixteen years ago) link

'Je Veux Te Voir' reminds me of 'Short Dick Man' but with an even more annoying vocal :/

blueski, Friday, 21 December 2007 01:27 (sixteen years ago) link

i see she mentions Lil Jon tho!

blueski, Friday, 21 December 2007 01:28 (sixteen years ago) link

it's original title was "short dick cuizi"

danzig, Friday, 21 December 2007 01:43 (sixteen years ago) link

I didn't realize the original myspace storm was last year

El Tomboto, Friday, 21 December 2007 01:47 (sixteen years ago) link

I guess this year was the actual album

El Tomboto, Friday, 21 December 2007 01:48 (sixteen years ago) link

Jaxon, I am very aware of the silliness of my crush. I also know that I do not stand a chance. ;-) That said, I am still crushing over'em. :-)

Fabrice, I checked out some of that trancy shit (as my husband also more or less described it). Weirdly I quite like it. Hmm. I also checked out some Youtube "how to dance" clips. I am officially an old bitch: most are half my age and I would never be able to dance lie this. Not even badly. WTF.

She rose to fame on myspace.com when she posted a song titled "Short Dick Cuizi", dissing Cuizinier, a member of the Parisian hip-hop group TTC.

stevienixed, Friday, 21 December 2007 01:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Also: I dislike Annie so thank god I never saw the comp with said Norwegian lass.; -)

oh word

El Tomboto, Friday, 20 June 2008 07:07 (fifteen years ago) link

love "Parle à ma main"

roxymuzak, Friday, 20 June 2008 07:08 (fifteen years ago) link

Je Veux Te Voir is really cackhanded and annoying. What's the difference between this and Uffie?

Matt DC, Friday, 20 June 2008 09:01 (fifteen years ago) link

I know I'm way late to the party but the Tepr mix of A Cause is kicking my ass, even though I'm not even close to a fan of electronic music. Should I seek out Yelle albums? Or Tepr stuff?

adamj, Friday, 20 June 2008 09:34 (fifteen years ago) link

ah, I remember how startled I was when my 8 years old girl cousines started singing "parle a ma main", especially the "les mecs y pensent qu'a nous mettre des doigts" ("guys only think about fingering us") part... puzzling...

AleXTC, Friday, 20 June 2008 12:34 (fifteen years ago) link

I have only heard that diss song of her and I expected her to look a whole lot sassier than she did when I finally copped the video but I still like it. I sang it to this one friend I have whose a Christian and French (I KNOW!) and she was proper insulted till I explained.
Its a great song, really fun.

VeronaInTheClub, Friday, 20 June 2008 12:54 (fifteen years ago) link

well, the lyrics are pretty heavy for such a popular song in france. it's the "chansons grivoises" tradition, i guess (and the french christians aren't the last to like that kinda things).

AleXTC, Friday, 20 June 2008 13:21 (fifteen years ago) link

Such a great album.

fit and working again, Monday, 15 March 2010 17:24 (fourteen years ago) link

the song she's done with crookers is pretty awesome. apparently she was working on a new album in autumn/winter just gone. seems like she hasn't done anything for aaages - other than the katy perry thing.

NI, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 09:49 (fourteen years ago) link

Also the excellent Robyn cover last year.

what have i become

I put Safari Disco Club on a recent mixtape and have listened to the song quite a few times even though I kind of don't like it. Not sure she's ever going to top A Cause des Garcons.

skip, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link

well, not many people ever will.

The new album's very enjoyable. I suspect, like the first one, it'll sound better live than on record though. Wish i'd known she was supporting Katy Perry next week. Comme Un Enfant is my pick of the bunch at the moment.

I was surprised to see posters for her playing a large club here after not seeing her name for years since she appeared. I will go back to not thinking of her.

She's at Village Underground on the 4th of March. Tickets still available, i think.

Definitely worth it - her live show is terrific.

I like OMG! I’m really disappointed there’s still not been another album. Get on the stick, Yelle.

This revive sponsored by Annie from Norway coming out with her first new album after eleven years.
