Intro Music

 

Welcome and bienvenue to the Alizée America Podcast, dedicated to the one and only, Alizée.

You can find us online at Alizéeamerica.com/podcast and iTunes.

 

Hey! What’s up? I’m your host Ciara and thanks for listening to the 8th episode of the Alizée America Podnast, I mean Podcast. I’m recording on location in my car, believe it or not. My room is just not the place to be able to do this in peace with roommates around who can hear me and who I can hear as well, so I’m toughing it out in my Cavalier today. I’ve got a big cup of V8 Splash beside me and my windows cracked, so don’t worry about me. I’m not like some old ladie’s dog locked in the car while she’s shopping, I don’t think I’ll die of heat exhaustion but it is really hot here, I’m already sweating pretty profusely in case you wanted to know. I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July if you’re from the U.S., or wherever you’re from, I hope that day was fun and safe for you too if you remember it, whether you’re from Chile, or Slovakia, or Fantasia (the one from “The Never Ending Story”, not the Disney musical) but mine was actually pretty uneventful this year. No fireworks or BBQ’s I had to work that night so afterward I just ate some Steak n’Shake and watched “The Life Aquatic,” so that was fun, and not patriotic at all. Shh, don’t tell.

 

I have an announcement right off. In the last podcast I asked for any musicians to submit music to be used in the podcast and I’m happy to announce that the segment music will now be provided by Lefty12357 from our very own forum. So, sorry if the new songs throw you off a bit, but I’m really happy to include something from another member of this glorious community. Big thanks to him for letting me mutilate his songs and for humbly sharing it with all of us.

 

In this episode I’ll be talking about my latest outdoor adventures in “Le Mot de Moi,” then we’ll hear whatever we get from Snatcher42 in “LiliNews,” since the concerts it’s been a slow couple of weeks. Then in “Getting to Know You” I’ll be interviewing a newer member of Alizée America who I’m putting on the air to get to know, obviously, and to also help promote a web comic he’s created, so if you’re into geeky stuff be sure and listen to my interview with Ruroshen. After that will be “Latest Discussions” and it’s a little slim pickens right now as far as what to talk about, at least as far as what I’ve been able to follow recently, I’ve been pretty busy, but I won’t let that get in the way too much. Finally, new segment time, it’s called “Fun with Alizée Audio.” I’ll let you know what that’s about when we get to it, and then I’ll throw in some “Listener Voicemail.” First up is “Le Mot de Moi.”

“Le Mot de Moi”

 

I just wanted to share with you that this week I went mountain biking for the first time ever and I’m not gonna lie, it was probably one of the hardest, most physically demanding things I’ve ever done. Do any of you mountain bike? I’ve done quite a few things like skiing, rock climbing, running really far, biking really far, hiking, canoeing, which you just sit there, but it’s a lot of upper body work, what have you, but this was tough and I loved it. I love the outdoors and being physical, and I love the indoors and being physical, but that’s another podcast. I’m talking about aerobics you pervs. Anyway it was awesome. If you’ve never done something where you think at any moment you could get seriously injured or die, and you want to!, then go bike on some rocky slopes in the Ozarks because it’s pretty rewarding pushing yourself to do something like that and live to talk about it. First of all, the Ozarks are a beautiful place if you’ve never been, lots of history both geologically and culturally. You should wiki it: Ozarks…the name is of French origin, in fact. It’s home to the highest point between the Appalachians and the Rockies, we have karst topography which means lots of rivers, lots of caves, lots of sinkholes, lots of springs…just a great place if you like the outdoors, such as me. So, yeah, mountain biking. I found a friend to go with me and we packed some food and went to this trail just outside of town that I didn’t even know existed until I looked at the city’s park website, and I’m so glad I did, because I found tons of cool places to start going. I don’t have a mountain bike per se, and I do a lot of bicycling around town, but I was actually riding on loose rocks and fallen limbs and jutting roots and across streams down these steep forested hillsides on my magenta Huffy 10-speed I bought from a flea market 4 years ago. And except for my back tire slipping out from under me a few times, it held up pretty well. On a lot of the trails I was either going uphill or downhill, obviously; the only flat trails were leading into the forest and it’s not one of those dirt-laden trails with huge jumps or anything….it’s basically like riding on dry riverbeds…so surprisingly the only thing that’s sore are my arms and shoulders from the many times I had to push my bike uphill. Not to mention the same hills over and over because we were trying to get to this old barn we found hiking it the day before, but having forgotten all my awesome topo maps and whatnot in my excitement to leave, we kept going in circles. I swear, I saw the same rock at least 4 times, it was getting ridiculous. It didn’t help that right before we got there it started raining when the forecast said it wouldn’t rain until that evening, but as the saying goes in Missouri, “if you don’t like the weather, just wait.” The sun soon came out, but we went ahead and started biking on slick rocks, which wasn’t good being my first time out. And I had quite a few close calls and was able to keep my balance while bouncing down these rocky surfaces, but I actually only fell once, and it was within the first 5 minutes. It was a really different way of riding than I’m used to on road routes, and I learned quickly that you let the bike do all the work and don’t try to control it too much, and it’s not only physically challenging but it’s sort of a mental workout too, because you also have to think really quickly about where you’re landing the bike, because one wrong move, one wrong decision, and you get pwned by the rocks that you land on…at least on this trail. It was really hard trying to be mobile on landscape that is working against you at all costs, but I just went in there confident and not afraid to fall, and that really made a difference. I remember the first time trying a lot of stuff like that and I wasn’t nearly as determined and it didn’t work out as well. And since there was a lot of flowing water, and it was raining I got crazy muddy and covered in ticks, but after about 4 hours of that we sat in my friend’s pool the rest of the afternoon and became soused. Can’t wait to do it again!

 

Next up is “LiliNews” with Snatcher42.

 

“LiliNews”

 

Thanks again, Ciara. Well another week, or I should say two weeks, and another podcast. This is the seventh installment of LiliNews, for the week of July 7th. After the marathon session last time, I'll keep this one short and simple, in part because there hasn't been a lot of news since then.

I ended my story of the trip to Mexico to see Alizée's concerts with my final show in Guadalajara, also touching on the following two shows in Puebla and Monterrey. However, I did not get a chance to tell you about the capper to Alizée's recent trip down there. On June 26th she held a second autograph session in Mexico City to commemorate the release of the special edition of Psychédélices that has just been released in that country. Now if you remember, when she last tried to hold an autograph session in Mexico City this past March, thing didn't go quite as planned. Far more people showed up than they were expecting, and the event had to be canceled for reasons of security. So to make sure that didn't happen again, this autograph session was limited to 300 bracelets, and was held outside with lots of security. In addition, to compensate all those who came and weren't able to receive an autograph, many free posters were handed out. Anyway, it went without a hitch this time; the fans turned out in droves, the news media was there to cover the event, and Alizée even received an official gold disc for selling 50,000 copies of her new album in Mexico. She signed over 125 more autographs than expected, and you can even see an official video of the autograph session released by the sponsoring store, Mixup, on our website. So all in all a very successful trip south of the border, way to go Alizée!

Now the only other news this week takes us all the way back to the very first installment of LiliNews in the second Alizée America Podcast, where I mentioned that there would be a DVD release of the Autour de la guitare concert at the Casino de Paris, in which Alizée participated this last April. Well I can now announce that the official release date of that disc in France will be September 19th. So be sure to pick that up from amazon.fr, fnac.com, or any of the other usual sites.

I'd like to use the remainder of my time for a quick site announcement: Alizée America will hopefully be undergoing some improvements over the coming weeks, and we'd like to get your feedback and suggestions. What new features would you like to see? One of our goals is to try to separate on and off topic discussions a bit better, so things are easier to navigate and find, while still allowing for the free discussion that has set our site apart from other Alizée forums since the beginning. I know that Ciara has been encouraging everyone to call into the voice-mail feature of the Alizée America Podcast, so why not kill two birds with one stone and let us know your thoughts that way? Again the phone number is (424) 704 5060, or skype us on user Alizéeamerica. If you missed that, those details are on our website at Alizéeamerica.com/podcast.

Well, that about wraps it up. Short and sweet like I promised. So now back to Ciara with the rest of this week's feed...

 

Thanks, Snatch. Can I call you Snatch? Now it’s time to get to know Ruroshen.

“Getting to Know You”

 

What’s your name, age, and where are you from?
 
Hi everybody. I’m Stephen (better known as Ruroshen on the Alizée America forums) and I’m an Alizéecoholoc. And yes, that was a terrible pun, and no, I couldn’t resist. I’m 33, and I hail from Toronto, Canada. Actually, I’m from Scarborough, the same part of the city that unleashed Jim Carrey, Mike Myers and the Barenaked Ladies on an unsuspecting world. (We’re, um, sorry about that, by the way.)
 
Don’t be sorry, I love ALL those guys! When and how did you discover Alizée?
 
The same way any North American geek discovers Alizée—I play WoW, and have way too much access to YouTube. Needless to say, “J’en Ai Marre” was my first exposure to Lili…and, completely entranced, I followed Lili down the rabbit hole, clicking on one YouTube link after another. By the time I came up for air, it was four in the morning, I had about two dozen Firefox windows open, and I really, really wanted to get my hands on this girl’s albums. (Yes, that last bit surprised even me.)
 
Fortunately for me, one had just come out—Psychédélices—which I actually managed to find at this little CD shop downtown a few days later.
 
You’re a fairly new member to Alizée America. What drew you to the site and what’s keeping you here?
 
What drew me to the Alizée America forums was actually this very podcast! I was poking around in the iTunes store to see if I might be able to download Lili’s earlier albums, and when I typed her name into the search bar, Ciara’s podcast popped up. Lili actually had enough American fans that there was a podcast dedicated to her? Rock on! So I checked it out—very fun, by the way—and through that, I learned about the AAm website, which I decided to check out as well.
 
What’s keeping me here—other than the fact that you all don’t expect me to read or write in French (which is probably best for everybody involved)—is how cool and laid back the community is. I’ve been involved in other fan communities before, and lemme tell ya…it can get a leeetle creepy. You’re all fun and enthusiastic about Lili, which I love, but without being outright sycophantic or giving the impression that you’ve…well, drunk the kool-aid. It’s actually OK here to express criticism, say you don’t dig a re-orchestration of your favorite song, weren’t feeling a live performance, didn’t like the dress she wore today (notice I didn’t say what type of dress)…and while people may disagree, it’s very rare that anybody busts out the torches and pitchforks. Most debates I’ve seen here have been pretty reasonable, even friendly. That’s a rare thing in the interwebs, especially on a fan site. Truuuust me.    

 

Ok, so maybe all the videos and the pictures help….a bit…kinda.
 
You mentioned to me that you’re developing a web comic with a character related to, yet not necessarily based off  Alizée. What can you tell us about it?
 
Well, back in April, I was lucky enough to be selected as one of the winners of Comic Creation Nation, a contest for undiscovered Canadian writers, held by a Vancouver-based website called Zeros 2 Heroes. It kind of worked like an online American Idol, but Canadian: hundreds of pitches were submitted, and visitors to the site voted on their favorites, with a new winner announced every week. I was lucky enough to win during the last round of the competition back in April, and since then I’ve been working with editor Andrew Foley and artist John Keane to turn my pitch into a 22-page “first issue” or “pilot episode”, which we’re hoping will eventually will get “picked up” by somebody…but more on that in a minute.
 
The pitch I won with is a superhero romantic comedy titled Knightcap: November’s Song. It’s about a stumblebum young hero, naturally named Knightcap, a regular guy who just happened to inherit his grandfather’s oversized costume and Boomerang Fedora—a hat that strikes with the force of fifty hats. He’s trying to do the hero thing, do his granddad’s memory proud, and failing miserably in the process. One night early in his career, he’s trying to break up a gas station robbery, and it goes horribly awry in the worst way possible
 
…which is how he comes to the attention of Fugue, a famous and ultra-powerful superheroine blessed with the ability to perceive the melody of the universe, and alter reality on a quantum level just by singing...
 
(I’ll let you guys figure out which character just might have been influenced by Lili,)
 
Anyway, Fugue bails him out, and claims to his surprise that she can hear greatness within him. She offers to partner with him for exactly one month to show him the ropes, help him repair his life, and unlock the potential hiding within. Though he’s initially smitten, Knightcap has to wonder: why would one of the world’s most powerful heroes give the key to her secret sub-dimensional headquarters to a different third-strong loser like him every month?
 
There is a catch, naturally—the course of true love never did run smooth—but I think I’ll stop now before I spoil anything…
 
 Do you write the script and do the artwork? What processes do you go through to create November’s Song and how much time goes into it?
 
Well, Ciara, to be honest, on November’s Song I’m just the script-monkey. John Keane is wholly responsible for the glorious art, and I was lucky to get him. I can’t wait for the book to hit the web so I can show off his beautiful pages to all and sundry. Really, they’re that good.
 
As far as the script goes, from first draft to the final polish, it took me roughly three months to write, with several drafts in between. Coincidentally, these were roughly the same three months I found myself in my initial ‘Alizée discovery’ phase. You guys know what that’s like. Fugue wasn’t based on Lili by any means—I had the idea for the character in the back of my head years before I even knew who Lili was—but listening to her music and watching interviews while working on the script (or putting off working on the script), well it definitely influenced who Fugue became in the final draft. I remember I had Lilly Town on repeat in the background for one entire afternoon as I struggled to work through a difficult sequence featuring Fugue (which has, unfortunately, since been cut out of the book for space considerations), and the way Lili came across during the Fun TV interview definitely had an influence on the way I wrote Fugue during the scene in which she and Knightcap first encounter each other and ‘meet cute’.
 
Now I can’t say too much about the process after that point—there’s the small matter of an iron-clad non-disclosure agreement to consider—but I can say that working with an honest-to-goodness editor has really helped to tighten up the script in ways I wouldn’t have been able to manage on my own. Writing comics isn’t like writing novels or screenplays—-you have to be mindful of things like page layouts—how many panels can we fit on this page? How do we arrange them to make the greatest visual impact? How much dialogue can we really stuff into this panel, and what’s the best way to place the word balloons so they don’t interfere with the action? Do we really need that punchline, or do we let the art do the talking? I’d been reading comics my entire life, but there’s no way I could have written one successfully without Andrew to guide me through it.
 
The best part of the entire process, though, without a doubt, was seeing finished pages come back from John. I don’t know how he managed it, but there were several panels that literally made me gasp, because they looked just the way I’d seen them in my head when I was writing the script—everything from facial expressions to camera angles, to the tilt of a particular character’s head, you name it. Even more amazing, though, was when he’d surprise me by doing something I hadn’t expected. The cover is a really good example of this—he combined a bunch of elements that never even would have occurred to me, and it just looks brilliant. Again, I really can’t wait to show it to you.
 
Of what kind of web and/or print comics are you a fan and how long have you been creating comics yourself?
 
Well, I am an unabashed, enormously over-the-top fan of Superman. Seriously. Superman is to me as Tinkerbell is to Alizée. I even have a Superman tattoo, albeit not as large or conspicuous of Lili’s, and my apartment is filled to bursting with my perpetually-growing collection of Superman paraphernalia.
 
As far as Knightcap goes, though, my direct influences are Spider-Man (as written by Brian Michael Bendis and J. Micheal Straczynski), The Flash and Captain America (both as written by Mark Waid). I’m also a huge fan of Bone by Jeff Smith, Strangers In Paradise by Terry Moore, Blue Monday by Chynna Clugston, and Rurouni Kenshin by Nobohiro Watsuki. All these are great comics which should be experienced by, well, everyone.
 
Knightcap: November’s Song is my first real foray into being “professionally published”, capital P, but before that, I slaved away for a couple of years on a little-seen webcomic called “Avatars” that never really took off…probably because I was doing the art myself. Set within the confines of a WoW-like massively multiplayer game, it was a workplace comedy disguised as medieval fantasy adventure, complete with it’s own “Jim & Pam” office romance. The website I built for it is long since gone, but there’s some samples of it up in the Strip Mine section on the Zeros 2 Heroes site if anybody’s really curious, or really, you know, bored.
 
Where can we find Knightcap: November’s Song, when will it be complete, and how often will it be available?
 
November’s Song can be found at www.zeros2heroes.com. That’s zeros, the number 2, heroes, .com. The comic isn’t up quite yet, but there you’ll find my original pitch which won the contest, as well as blog entries from both me and my editor which gives some added insight into the story and creation of the book, not to mention some sneak preview images from the book itself! It’s also a pretty terrific place to hang out for aspiring comics professionals, up and coming video game designers, and just folks looking to celebrate all things geek. It’s a really spectacular community over there, and I’ve been lucky to be a part of it.
 
As far as when the book will be finished, we actually just locked in the cover image last Wednesday, which was the final piece of the puzzle we needed to fit. November’s Song is slated to hit the Zeros 2 Heroes website, along with all the other winning books, sometime at the end of July. I’ll post the actual release date on the forum just as soon as it’s announced.
 
As for how often it will be available—or whether we’ll get to make more at all—well, that depends pretty heavily on what kind of fan response it gets. This has been the summer for hot comic properties to hit big, and there’s a lot of eyes on the site right now. So please check out the first issue when it drops, and if you like it, be sure let us know! If you don’t like it, though, that’s something you can keep to yourself.
 
Since you're a new Alizée fan, which album did you listen to first, and what are your feelings about the Alizée from 5 years ago and the Alizée of today?
 
Whew, I think Ciara is trying to get me in trouble. Ok, although I was introduced to Alizée with “J’en Ai Marre”,
Psychédélices was actually the first album I listened to beginning to end and then from there I worked my way backwards. Which, I’ve been told, is entirely the wrong way to do it, but eh. I think this, combined with the fact that I came so late to the party in the first place, kind of cushioned me in a way to the ‘culture shock’ that some of Lili’s fans are experiencing in the Psychédélices era.
 
I get it, though. Yes, she's fantastic now, and there’s no arguing that she is fantastic now, but it's an altogether different kind of fantastic than she was then, if that makes any sense. Time, age and experience have changed her...not necessarily for the worse, nor for the better...but there's no denying that she's radically different now.
 
Compare the Mexico Psychédélices shows to En Concert, for example. Both are amazing in their own way, but you can hardly believe it's the same performer in both.
 
It's not a bad thing--I'm certainly not the same person today that I was at sixteen, and thank God for that—and thank God I don’t have tons of videos, pictures, CDs, etc. etc. around to constantly remind me of what I was like at sixteen. Can you imagine? But you can hardly blame people for being nostalgic for the Alizée they initially fell in love with. At the same time, you can hardly blame Alizée for wanting to reinvent herself and share with the world who she is now, at this particular moment in her life. If she had slipped back into the sailor suit and done the sexy fish dance for the Mexico shows like some fans were clamoring for…I think I would have been a little disappointed in her for selling out. Madonna seems to be able to get away with reinventing herself every five years. Why not Alizée? {Exhales} Am I glad that’s off my chest! You know it’s a good thing I’m saying this on a site where, you know, you can disagree; nobody breaks out the torches and pitchforks; we can debate in a friendly and civilized manner…Yeah, all that stuff I said before? Totally said in self interest. Please don’t flame me.
 
 Do you have a favorite Alizée song or performance?
 
My favorite Alizée song of the moment is Décollage … which is ironic, because I can’t stand American rap, and if an American pop star tried it I would probably laugh at them, but Lili doing it is +3d6 to Awesome. iTunes tells me that my all-time favorite, the one I’ve played the most is, surprisingly “J’Ai Pas Vingt Ans.” Really I would’ve expected “J’en Ai Marre” or “Lilly Town” to be in the top spot, but there you go. I guess it shows up in my rotation a lot more often than I think.
 
As far as my favorite performance goes, my favorite performance of the moment is definitely ‘The Sound of Silence’ from the June 18th Mexico concert (no, I was not there—I have way too much access to YouTube, remember?)… but I’ll always have a soft spot for the, and I’m going to mess this up, the TV5 Monde Acoustic Live performance of “J’en Ai Marre”, since that’s how first I discovered her. Sorry Lili, but sexy fish dance for the win.
 
What's it like being Canadian? :p
 
You know, I tried to answer this a couple of different ways—I had an answer that was funny, I  had an answer that was serious and poignant and heartfelt. I had one that veered towards the political, and then one that kind of made a point of me being Canadian and all politely not steering towards the political. At the end of the day, though, I think there’s one man who can say it much, much better than I ever could.
 
So I’m going to instruct all of you at Alizée America to open up a window to YouTube, and in the search bar I want you to type the words ‘I Am Canadian’, and then watch the first video that pops up. What you’ll see is a minute of footage that will tell you everything you need to know about our country. Right there: in a beer commercial.
 
It’s sadly kinda fitting, actually. Yeah.
 
Oh yeah, and our milk comes in bags too, eh?

 

Ok, I guess that’s going to about do it for me. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Ciara, not just for the interview but for her continued stellar efforts representing the AAm community with this podcast, and spreading our banner far and wide as iTunes will carry it. Snatcher, as well, good job with the news, sir. Well done. Big thanks to Brad for hosting the whole thing and putting up with all of us, especially us rowdy Canadians. And to all of you out there in Alizée America Land, please remember to check out zeros2heroes.com at the end of July. Take a look at November’s Song, please let me know what you think here or zeros2heroes and remember to vote early and vote often, kids. Thanks a lot, and everybody have a great week! This is Ruroshen, signing off.

 

Thank you very much, Ruroshen welcome aboard. Ok, so I looked up that video…very funny. You Canadians….Good luck with your web comic and I’m looking forward to seeing it when it’s done.

 

Up next is “Latest Discussions.”

“Latest Discussions”

 

I lied. In the intro I said I wouldn’t let my busy-ness get in the way of finding discussions to talk about, but I’m on a tight schedule and don’t really have anything to address. Here’s just a couple things I’ll mention pretty quickly.

 

1.There’s two I’m going to mention here: Psychédélices Tour Paris, France, Europe in the Alizée Discussions section, and Psychédélices Tour Paris, France, Europe Audit in the Alizée News section. The first one gives general info and tips about the European tour commencing this fall, while the second one is a place for people who are going to the concerts (lucky bastards) for planning and it has links to tickets and has a list of who’s going to what concert, so if you’re going check that out and talk to some other people if you have questions or want to get a group together.  

 

2.Newest Alizée Pictures. This thread, of course, is where people bring in new pictures that most of us haven’t seen before (thanks to all of you who do that, by the way!) and as of late there’s a lot of great stuff from Alizée’s time in Mexico. I just wanted to point out that I have been really behind getting these pictures into the 2006-2008 gallery so hopefully sometime soon that’ll be up-to-date and you can find all of these pictures, as well as ones from the Mexico concert thread, there. There’s one picture in particular that I’d like to mention because it sort of ties in with another podcast. In episode six I had a segment called “Other Musical Interests” and mentioned a singer/songwriter from Paris named Soko. Remember that? If not go back and listen. Well, in a photo from Mexico, there’s Alizée and her staff sitting around these tables in a restaurant, and to the very right of the picture beside Alizée is none other than Soko. Not only that, a couple members from this forum who went to the concerts actually met her on a tour bus while sightseeing in Mexico City, and through conversation with this intriguing musician, they found out she happened to be Alizée’s friend. It’s their story to share and I won’t get into details, but needless to say I’m happy they had that experience along with all the concerts, and it just proves how small this world of ours really is.

 

I think that’s it for “Latest Discussions.” Now it’s time for “Fun with Alizée Audio.”

 

Music

 

“Fun with Alizée Audio”

 

This is a new segment this week and it was sort of created by accident. I was playing around with the sound of some songs off one of Alizée’s albums in Audacity and after accidentally clicking something the following is what occurred. This is part of a song, I can’t legally play the whole thing, and in this clip you won’t want to hear it anyway. This is Alizée singing if she were a monster or an orc or some other creature that lives in my nightmares. So this isn’t going to be enjoyable exactly but it sounded so creepy that I had to share it with all of you guys. And it’s not that hard to tell what song it is right off, but here’s what I want you to do. I want you to call in to the podcast voicemail with your guesses of what song it is and whoever calls in first with the right answer wins. What do you win? I don’t know, probably nothing, but hey it’ll be fun. I’ll play the responses in the following podcast and announce whoever the winner is. So here we go: a creepy-ass version of an Alizée song.   

 

Audio Clip

 

So yeah, what song was that?

 

Alright voicemail time! I’m still not getting what I’d hope from you listeners as far as voicemail goes. We’ve got a few this week, two of them are actually just recordings sent to me, but that’s cool too, so thanks to all who have called in for this episode. If you want to leave a voicemail for the Alizée America Podcast the number again is 424-704-5060 or Skype me through username Alizéeamerica.

 

Sir Wood: C'est Sir Wood de Alizée America.  Pardonnez-moi... pour je sais français un peu.  Je voudrais dire... Alizee, le concert en Guadalajara était très merveilleuse, c'est mon premier, et vous êtes le plus belle.  Merci beaucoup et bonne chance avec le tournee en France et Belgique. À bientôt.

 

Renegade: Hello, this is Renegade. I’d like to say you guys are doing great work with the podcast and I hope you guys continue great work. Hello, respect to all and peace out.

 

Roman: Something in French. *Sings “The Sound of Silence”*

 

That’s gonna wrap it up for this episode of the Alizée America Podcast. I’d like to leave by saying that a special member of the forum and a big supporter of the podcast since the beginning is having some health issues and I’d like this person to know that you have many, many friends here and we wish you all the best. Keep your chin up, and as Elaine sang on Seinfeld “get well, get well soon, we want you to get well. I’d like to welcome our newest member of the forum, munwar, or munwar…I f-ing hate usernames. Bienvenue to you and all the other new members since the last podcast. Thanks to Brad for hosting the show at Alizée America and to Snatcher42 for the news. The music used in this podcast is provided by Lefty12357 from Alizée America and the Sinistrals from PodsafeAudio.com. Thanks for listening and have a Youpidou day!

 

Outro Music

If you’re still around after the outro song, do I have a treat for you, sort of like the bloopers after the end credits of a movie, but not as funny, but still good! I meant to include a song by Lefty as a musical break, but it totally slipped my mind until after I got done editing everything, and I like it so much that I didn’t want to wait until the next podcast to include it. So here is the “Fifty Sixty Lefty Remix.” Thanks again, Lefty, and enjoy!
