In: Uncategorized
10 Dec 2011Making a pop video! It’s a tricky old business. Not only have you got to look like you’re having a good time, or a thoroughly rotten time, or displaying some sort of emotion at any rate, but you also have to deal with “directors” and “producers” who seem to think that aside from miming your [...]

It’s “Mark what are the top five songs about identifying women that have enchanted the protagonist of the aforementioned song in such a way that they feel inclined to sing about it”.

YELLE live at Electrowerkz, London 26th March 2011

25 Jan 2011A new year, and a new Bitter Fingers Radio show. Hoorah!

Yelle – Safari Disco Club
In: Music Video| New Music
12 Jan 2011In a move apparently designed to give me some sort of amazing heart attack, quite possibly my favourite band of the past few years YELLE have released a new single. That new single is called Safari Disco Club.

14 Oct 2010YELLE – La Musique (Vimeo)
It may or may not surprise you to know that YELLE, those amazing French electro types, are among my very favourite bands. The previous sentence explains pretty much why. I could listen to Je Veux Te Voir every day for the rest of my life and not get bored of it [...]

We’ve had the return of breezy electro, energising pop, a phalanx of female singers plus the odd [...]
