For those who are interested, I should be on the air tomorrow afternoon... barring any lightning strikes, car crashes, ISDN malfunctions, or other national emergencies.

And the Alizée song will be...
Well, it's a surprise. You can bet it won't be the one you're expecting.

You are a brave man for playing Abracadabra on the air.

I'm not going to say if that's right or not...but Abracadabra does seem a little too obvious, doesn't it?

I've been hesitant to play Mon Manquis because it's almost 6 minutes long. Not that I haven't played long songs before, but they're in English, and I'm less likely to lose someone's attention during a long English song than a long French one. It is an unfortunate likelihood that my local listeners put up with my Alizée obsession, rather than look forward to it...

Of course, last week I played Gourmandises and Amelie m'a dit back-to-back, which totals almost 8 minutes, so I guess I just blew my own defense out of the water.

i noticed you havent played JEAM yet, so im betting its that

you should play an english version of one of her songs...i suggest Amelie

What about "Ella, Elle L'a" or "La Isla Bonita" or are we just sticking to album covers?

Yeah, an occasional English version wouldn't be bad either.

I'd consider playing "Ella, elle l'a," but the mp3 quality isn't great, and it will sound worse over the air. Same goes for "La Isla Bonita," although the quality on that one is probably a little better.

As for not playing English versions, that's simply a personal preference. I think the songs are much better in the original French. I'll give it some thought for the future, though.
