  6. milkshake says I love I Wanna Be Your Dog and Chanson de Toile and her videos are cool too. She should've released The Flower Book as a CD/DVD set. I'm not a huge fan of Desert though - something about the way she sings the chorus I just don't like.

  10. Anna says I'm with Mike, that second vid is fabulous; very Nightmare Before Christmasy. (it's the second time in 2 days I'm turning a movie title into an adjective to characterize something...)

  11. QueenofHell says Mike, I'd read about a wave of young French rock bands, such as Plasticines and Les Bebes Rockers. I was checking them out on the web, when I came across Emilie Simon, and I youtubed her. That is how I found her.

  12. Mike the Knife says Ah. Crafty. Francophile that I am, I was easily drawn in. Maybe it's time to do another web-search of my own.
