CHRISTINE DELAROCHE - L'ASCENSEUR
i have no idea while this ultra groovy slice of yé-yé from 1969 doesn't appear on any compilation albums as this song is up there with the best of pussycat, delphine, etc

BLOWUPDOLL EXCLUSIVE -
BRIGITTE BARDOT - TOUTES LES BETES SONT A AIMER
i have often been asked if i had this song as it doesn't appear on any bardot cd. and now i can finally rip music, here is is! it was recorded in 1982 to raise money for the french society for the protection of animals and for greenpeace. warning: contains children singing.

mordi the ripper

JOELLE - HOMME IMPOSSIBLE
after a lot of hassle, this is my very first attempt at ripping vinyl to mp3!
what better way to start than with this often forgotten gem from 81.
let me know if it sounds ok.

shake it

BRUNETTA - BALUBA SHAKE
i'm sure lots of you may know this song already - but i have only just discovered it - and i love it! you will too!

alizée album review

having had the pleasure of hearing the new alizée album (une enfant du siécle),
this is what it sounds like in picture form:

surround yourself with cilla - wednesday

CILLA BLACK - IF I THOUGHT YOU'D EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND

CILLA BLACK - IT'S FOR YOU (introduced by john lennon)
a friend of the beatles, cilla had a few songs written for her by them

CILLA BLACK - LIVERPOOL LULLABY
along with sandie, lulu and dusty, cilla was one of the top british singing dolls of the sixties. this week i hope to surprise you with a few of her gems. today's song is a scouse masterpiece!



i know i promised to bring you some brand new songs, but until i can work out how to rip vinyl to mp3 successfully using audacity you'll just have to wait! i have no idea what i am doing wrong!
