Lovely French Music

[Vintage Paw]

I'm completely and utterly in love with Sébastien Tellier at the moment. I mean like completely and utterly. I haven't listened to anything else for days, possibly weeks

Ooh, shit - Benjamin Biolay is excellent, most of the time. Get 'Home', a collaboration with Chiara somebody.

Another female vocalist - Coralie Clément (Salle Des Pas Perdues) - nothing amazing to my mind, but certainly not bad.

Paris Combo ain't anything special IMO but someone might like em.

Lhasa, album 'The Living Road', ain't French herself but some of her stuff is, and it's all good.

There are a few Putumayo Presents compilations like Paris, French Cafe, who knows what else.

Raphael is supposed to be popular but I just find it really average.

That's me done I think.

Who were the band Michel Gondry was in? They were cool

Oui oui

I thought they were pretty rubbish but unsurprisingly had some good low budget videos.

 

[MullahNasrudin]

do they really count as french just cos there's one french person in the band tho'? I've always thought of them as primarily a Brit band.

Yeah, the breathy French vocalist and lyrics in French clearly mark them out as a Brit band, you pedant.

Come on people, Yann Tiersen please, bloody hell!

Fantastic music. He did the soundtrack to Amelie, if anyone's familiar...?

ah he was already mentioned

Yves Duteil is nae bad either, depending what you're into...

Carla Bruni (Sarkozy's wife) has just released a pretty good new album

It's not brilliant, but it's pretty lovely

If I was in charge of France I probably would have married her n all
