THE YELLE INTERVIEW

A few days ago, Yelle answered some questions for me. I shouldn't say Yelle though because that is to generalize and say Julie Budet is the whole band. Yelle is the band; Julie Budet the awesome singer who I talked to. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! that's like saying "omg I talked to Garbage" when you only talked to Shirley Mansion. I know there are boys involved! somewhere!

In case you did't see my post a few months ago, Yelle is back at making music, releasing "La Musique," which is a lot of bombastic fun. it sounds like spaceships and the like. when I listen to it, I want to see lasers. which I think sums the aesthetic up nicely! The first album was 2007's Pop Up which is such a good album, featuring the likes of the !!!! "JE VEUX TE VOIR."

COLORS COLORS COLORS (I'm sorry for the poor quality!)

the new album is to be all in French (no surprise) and comes with a tour, which includes shows with K. Perry. of course though it's only going on in Europe right now. check your local listings, Europeans. you lucky bitches.

so here is my Q/A with Miss Julie. observe.

1.) What inspired your new album? Actually what inspires you in general?
For the new album and in general, our life inspires us. We were touring for almost 3 years and we met lots of cool people around the world, discovered countries and cultures, but also new bands or old songs and after that we took the time to rest at home with families and friends and think about what happened! We are still talking about relations between boys and girls, love etc.. but in a way more deeper than on Pop Up. And for the music, we were listening lots of different sound, Etienne Daho for example, a french singer, or Chagrin d'Amour a band from the 80's, and Depeche Mode or Phil Collins.. and more!

(p.s. Phil Collins has a new album coming out and it's going to be all rock! 2011 will be interesting).

2.) You're currently on tour! Any plans to expand the tour through North America? (I am biased!)We'll be back in US normally for spring with our new album (out in March) and a bigger tour!!

3.) You collaborated with Robyn (I believe) a year or so ago. Who would you like to collaborate with in the future? You ever going to tour with Robyn? you should!
I'll be very happy to work with Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode), and maybe Damon Albarn (Gorillaz, Blur), i was totally in love with him when I was a teenager!!
I'm very proud of the exchange with Robyn, I love her new album(s) but no tour with her for the moment!

!!! (I'd like to see her do something with Gorillaz. would be cool.)

4.) What are you most excited about for the new album? Really- what are you excited about at the moment!

I'm very very very excited for the new album, even if I'm scared too! I'm really excited to tour again in US and to see how people will react to the new songs! And right now I'm excited because it's almost Christmas!

well, she shouldn't be scared because it will probably be awesome! and merci to her for doing this.

au revoir!

also, I hate asking questions about inspiration because they make me feel like Drew Barrymore.

and as always: I never took the photos.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist. "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members or stress over where to eat Christmas dinner. Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
