Almost a year has passed since my last post, and this return to blogging has been prompted by three events--the release of The Girls Are At It Again, Ellie Greenwich's passing, and Mini Viva's debut. Also, I miss writing....

I missed the original post asking for Catherine Spaak music. Oops! Although her production can strike me as strangely stark, I really love her music and had my own little quest to track down her stuff a while ago. There are some real gems here. Noi Siamo I Giovani [1964] Which I no doubt got from here which was an unparalleled resource for 60s Italian music for a while. Collected Non È Niente...

Someone requested Catherine Spaak stuff a few weeks back and I just discovered this lovely album of hers so I thought I'd share. It's sung mostly in Italian with bits of French and features covers of Françoise's "Tous les garçons..." and "J'ai jete mon coeur," a cover of Annie Philippe's "Mes amis, mes copains" (or maybe it's the other way around), and maybe...

First of all, I would like to say how thrilled I am to have found a community dedicated to my favorite genre of music. I just wish I would've known earlier so I could have went to the New York event, because it sounds like it was amazing. Anyway, I hate to do this because I have nothing to offer in terms of music yet, but I would like to request an album, hopefully one of you could help me out. My...

Oleg from the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York contacted me to share some information for New York yé-yé fans: On Tuesday of next week we're having a US Premiere of Marc'o's LES IDOLES, the never-before-seen 1968 yé-yé musical romp starring Pierre Clémenti (a posterboy for the French left, most famous for his role as Catherine Deneuve's gangster lover in...

My wedding is quickly approaching (11/15) and I would love to have some of the best Yé-Yé (and other '60s chanteuse) music played for the first 30 minutes of my reception. I am looking for the more dramatic/romantic/dark/somber/dreamy songs as opposed to the pop-ier, upbeat, teeny-bopper songs (yes, odd I know, considering it's a celebration, but we are getting married at a Russian-themed...

I've been sitting here for 45 minutes, trying to figure out how to begin a diary entry after a six-month hiatus. I came this close to bidding "Cha Cha Charming" farewell, for a number of reasons. But this morning...

Well my friends, I do not know if someone here can help me. I am trying to find compilations of my new favorite singer: Alexandra (Doris Nefedov). She was very popular in Germany, and it makes me sad I do not know anyone who can share her music with me. Please if you have some of her songs I would be so happy... if you could share them with me. I love all her songs ( I heard little pieces at last.fm)...

Does anyone have an mp3 of France Gall's Bébé Requin? I've fallen in love with it, but I do not have a copy.
