gonna marry her. okay, maybe not. anyway, love the music. and she's a cutie. and, despite the nymphet act, she's older than me by a long shot. would buy Lio albums in a second if i saw them somewhere.

Not Lio, but her sister:

Early 80s French music videos are one of my favourite sources of pop imagery and design to be honest. So much fun!

What was the one u said would make spears blush? I can't see that vid.

☆★☆彡彡 (ENBB), Friday, 13 January 2012 01:19 (thirteen years ago)

Some of her albums were reissued a couple of years ago. They were on Ze.

誤訳侮辱, Friday, 13 January 2012 01:20 (thirteen years ago)

probably easier to find the 12 inches. this mix is amazing.

scott seward, Friday, 13 January 2012 01:21 (thirteen years ago)

^^^ Produced by Telex iirc

questino (seandalai), Friday, 13 January 2012 01:22 (thirteen years ago)

the vid where she is on t.v. in her underwear. "amoureaux solitaire"

scott seward, Friday, 13 January 2012 01:22 (thirteen years ago)

i don't remember ze singles or albums by her. but i miss stuff. i just got a ze album from my brother that i'd never seen or heard of in my life.

scott seward, Friday, 13 January 2012 01:23 (thirteen years ago)

She's on the Ze Christmas album, not sure what else.

questino (seandalai), Friday, 13 January 2012 01:24 (thirteen years ago)

in any case, she deserves her own thread. the music and vids are great.

scott seward, Friday, 13 January 2012 01:24 (thirteen years ago)

Is there a more general thread for this stuff? I want to post Elli & Jacno and Niagara videos...

questino (seandalai), Friday, 13 January 2012 01:25 (thirteen years ago)

Scott OTM

☆★☆彡彡 (ENBB), Friday, 13 January 2012 01:26 (thirteen years ago)

i think there are probably french new wave threads? i just checked and there is some Lio talk on the Ze thread and elsewhere. but not much really. there are fans here. they just forgot to tell me how much i would dig this stuff!

and, yeah, there are whole WORLDS of french and belgian stuff that i have never heard.

scott seward, Friday, 13 January 2012 01:30 (thirteen years ago)

Resurrected this thread for some spinning off: where did it all go wrong for French pop music?

questino (seandalai), Friday, 13 January 2012 01:35 (thirteen years ago)

thirteen years pass...

Man, her debut album is just one banger after another (only knew the singles until now)
