Heh!

Sorry for the sound quality on this one, guys. Vent and Audacity have not been kind to me--I couldn't strip out any of the background noise for Roman or Shoepick at all in any way that left them sounding human...and even I sound a little weird. Roman and I are experimenting with a new way of transferring the files over, so hopefully the audio in the next one will sound better.

Show Notes - Lilly Town Public Radio: "Pourqoui Alizée?"
  • • This week's panel: Ruroshen, Roman, Shoepick, Chommpers
  • .
  • • In the chatroom, but without mics: Barrett the Marauder, Jung159, JimmyDean23, jep, Srbski-Kralj (who did eventually join on-mic later, about four tangents after the end of the episode)
  • .
  • • Why we're all crazy about a singer half a world away, who sings in a language that 90% of us don't understand.
  • .
  • • Shoepick narrowly avoids being hazed as "the new guy"
  • .
  • • Roman introduces this episode's (unintentionally) recurring theme: Is Alizée the France Gall of the new millennium?
  • .
  • • France's hit song 'Poupée de cire, poupée de son' is here.
  • .
  • • Number of times Ruro uses the word "genuineness" in reference to Alizée: 3
  • .
  • • Shoepick introduces the World of Warcraft connection. Roman tricks Ruro into explaining it, then proceeds to mock him off the mic in the chatroom throughout.
  • .
  • • The original "WoW Dances" YouTube clip is here (but sadly lacking any audio), which takes excerpts from this "extra-sexy" performance of JEAM. You can find an updated version of the WoW Dances vid here. The "Alizée Sexy Fish Dance" video we mention is this one here.
  • .
  • • Ruro nearly blows the PG rating with his explanation of why male WoW gamers play female characters
  • .
  • • Lili's original performance of 'La Isla Bonita', which Jung and Barrett prefer to JEAM (blasphemy!) can be found here.
  • .
  • • Lili's tribute to France Gall, 'Ella, Elle La' (the video which hooked Ruro forever) is here. (Bonus: you can watch France's original version of the song here.) The JEAM performance from the same broadcast is this one right here.
  • .
  • • Lili's cover of 'Il Jouait Du Piano Debout', another France Gall song (with subtitles!) is here. (France's disco-riffic version is here.)
  • .
  • • Ruro briefly shares his tale of braving near-certain death to obtain a copy of Psychédélices on the wrong side of the tracks
  • .
  • • We tangent off into a discussion of how important an understanding of French is to an appreciation of Alizée and her music, for which Chommpers eventually joins us
  • .
  • • Roman gives a brief review of the Rosetta Stone language-learning software.
  • .
  • • We tangent off even further into a discussion of just how difficult learning a second language is, and how local idioms don't always translate. The site Ruro references which compares French idioms to their English counterparts is here.
  • .
  • • We close out on Chommpers bringing things back around full circle.

Thanks again to brad for hosting these, Jung for hosting the Vent server, and everybody who comes out in support of these, whether you're on the mics or not.

have you guys tried skype yet? i think you will get the best results with it. you should give it a try. also, using a usb headset mic will make it easier to get good sound quality. you can find them cheap too.

just found this for recording skype, it has some good reviews:

cool, glad you got around to fixing it up and adding it (3 days ago but I haven't been able to get on much), would love to do another one of these type of discussion podcast and maybe get some more people on board, I finished my final performance of the play I was in and I have about a week or two left for finals and I will be open for 3 months to do stuff before classes start again so hopefully I can start making it to some of the other podcast stuff, will she about the one you currently have going.

When you all were talking about idioms that dont translate directly it reminded me of one.
"Whatever floats your boat" this idiom in english means ,basically, do whatever makes you happy. The idiom that has the same meaning in french translates about to "whatever flips your chicken".
I just thought it was funny.

Default Thanks so much Ruroshen...

I love these podcasts... and I'm very content that you've decided to make this a semi-regular thing. This was a great listen. Great job to Shoepick, Roman, and Ruroshen.

Can't wait for the next one! Oh and Ruroshen, feel free to edit out any of the stupid stuff either where I ramble on or I simply don't make any sense. It's perfectly cool. I just don't want to sound like an idiot to the international friends which I'm pretty sure I sounded like to you guys a couple of times whether that was last Sunday, or the one before. But damn that was a lot of fun. Just don't add out the Divinyls thing. Your laugh was PRICELESS, Ruroshen.

Everybody have a good weekend, and I can't wait until the Gourmandises Thunderdome. Should be fun!
