this is the yé-yé/chanson thread, you guys
« on: 24 Feb 2010, 13:37 »
okay. so for those of you who are not familiar with the genre at all, look at this article please. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeye

people who already listen to this stuff, let's discuss how great it is!

ps- yé-yé does not HAVE to be french, and this is not a thread where we discuss mainstream french pop like kate ryan. (who covered france gall's ella elle l'a, and a few other Things)

Boyd Rice is pretty obsessed with doing slightly creepy chanson covers.

Spell - Seasons in the Sun

Giddle+Boyd - Bonnie and Clyde


Also, I am pretty into Chanson and also maybe I suppose ye-ye, though It's only something I really listen to on last.fm similiar artists radios. My favourites are (very obviously) Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Brel, Léo Ferré and Jacques Dutronc plus for ladies like Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin obvs.. Anyone got some good places to go from here?

They are influenced by yé-yé a lot though.

Tony Iommi was influenced a lot by Django Reinhardt but I wouldn't talk about Black Sabbath in a jazz thread.

I've got a France Gall compilation that's a Best Of for everything she recorded in German. It's pretty goofy, but no more goofy really than any other yé-yé. Really fun stuff.

I love France Gall and I love Serge Gainsbourg for writing such amazing songs. And I love Francoise Hardy and Chantal Goya and Gillian Hills and crazy Claudine Longet and Anna Karina etc. And April March who loved them too. HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY.

Oh dear, ahem.

chantal goya is lovely and underappreciated! i first heard her music in the movie masculin/feminin, and i liked her songs more than the movie itself initially so i decided to buy a compilation of her earlier work  les annees 60  because i just assumed i'd like her earlier work more because it contains the

not too familiar with anna karina the actress, but she was great in alphaville.
ahem.

wow, i'm all over the place today.
hehe. nothing wrong with that though.

Oh man, back when my mom was in Lebanon, she used to listen to Chantal Goya and she had this awesome tape with some kind of medley or something and it was incredibly rad.  Brings back so many memories just when people mention her name.
