Demain, je suis alle a Nice avec ma copine, Jane. Je vais relaxer a la plage, visiter les musees, dancer a la boom et boire du vin.That may be a load of cobblers. I'm trying to practise my French which I haven't used very much for so long, because I am going to Nice. My brain usually clicks into French-ish speaking mode when I'm in France. I'm sure my pronunciation ain't trop chic. But I'l...

I really like it. I think it's powerful in a different way to Nirvana's. It's more gothy and haunting. Listening to it, there's menace in the air. I think it would be great for the soundtrack of a vampire movie.

21st June: 9.30. I got to see her at a small venue called The Borderline in April and was mightily impressed. She was a chic and charming cyborg, dressed in a pink princess dress, controlling the electronic sounds with a big black switchboard attached to her arm.Experimental stuff: splashing of water, looping of sounds, dreamy, ethereal, and sometimes playful, both lyrically and sonically. T...

I'm getting ready to fake sick at work so my best friend/roommate and I can ditch down to her beach house in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico for a long weekend, and while I was packing up my million cds (because I refuse to own an iPod), I uncovered my long lost Emilie Simon mix cd I made ages ago then lost when I moved to LA. Ironically enough, I first heard Emilie Simon when I saw her vide...

I saw Emilie Simon's new video yesterday and was glad to say I loved it! Interesting song with a great video to match. That's one thing that'll get my attention musicwise. I did coughdownloadcough her first album and totally loved I Wanna Be Your Dog and Chanson De Toile from it, but didn't like the other songs as much. But because of her interesting songs and her amazing videos (if you mak...

Well, I was going to upload a song in this post, but despite it being within the size limit and being an mp3, it didn't work and I lost all my text. Boo!So back to my post.I downloaded one of Emilie Simon's albums a while back and fell in love with two of the songs I Wanna Be Your Dog and Chanson De Toile. (I Wanna Be Your Dog is a bit on the short side though! :( ) I love Chanson De Toile, it...

This excellent cover of an even more excellent original came soaring into my inbox a few days back and I had to share it with the badical kids. It's a version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" by the lovely electronica goddess from Paris, Emilie Simon. You might have been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the stunning Emilie Simon performing live in LA at the Roxy last week. If not, you can c...

After enduring mostly uncomfortable and campy covers on Canadian Idol earlier this summer, particularly one painful female fronted cover of 'Space Oddity' I was weary of another female fronted cover of the same song. Emilie Simon of Paris, France really impressed me, especially in the wake of hearing some excellent covers off of the "Life Beyond Mars " Bowie Tribute album. This is probably my...
