Today is French singer, France Gall’s birthday, born on October 9, 1947. Happy Birthday, France! In celebration, here’s a fun video of her first single, which was also her first hit called, Ne sois pas si bête (Don’t be so stupid). It was recorded in 1963, when Ms. Gall was 16 years old. The old [...]

I like this cover of Moldy Peaches’ “Anyone Else But You” being sung by Ms. Sarko herself, Carla Bruni and Nouvelle Star winner, Julien Doré. I’m particularly relieved to not have to listen to Julien Doré singing his last hit that had been playing everywhere, all the time. At least, seemingly. tags: france, Carla Bruni, Julien [...]

Miele / Miele / Humpty Dumpty Records Miele is from Belgium, but this album couldn’t get any more French (they are neighbors after all). And with a name that translates to “honey,” they couldn’t get any sweeter. I wish I could tell you a little more about their background, but I can’t seem to [...]

Turned on the box a bit early for Newsnight yesterday and was surprised to see a chanteusse looking extremely like French first lady Carla Bruni warbling through a number on Jools Holland’s Later Show. It turns out that it was she, last seen over here turning heads and drawing unfavourable and frankly unfair comparisons with Sarah Brown on a state [...]

Steve from Camarillo, CA used a scatter gun approach to win an Acoustic France promo. He send in three guestposts on his favourite songs. I post two (the third was about France Gall's Poupée de Cire, in which he slagged off Celine Dion, which is great, but I think the other two g'posts are better) Mylene Farmer - Innamoramento It may be considered somewhat uncool to admit to being a huge fan of the...
