Posted - 06/08/2009 : 10:28:11 Does anybody like this band? I was told to listen to them by a French friend and have really fallen in love with one song, 'New York Avec Toi'. Most of the songs I've heard are quite catchy pop/rock songs, but I can't really take them too seriously since I don't know exactly what they are singing about.
Since I don't speak French I was just wondering if any of the French speaking forum members could help me out? Are/were Téléphone a popular band? What kind of topics do they cover with their lyrics?
I'd be really greatful if anyone could help me!

Posted - 06/21/2009 : 08:27:01 I love 'Les Dunes', and I listen to a few songs from 'Dure Limite' regularly. 'Ca (C'est Vraiment Toi)' and 'Le Temps' are my favourites.

Posted - 06/19/2009 : 11:34:46 Téléphone wrote some good tunes, but most of their lyrics are terribly naive and obvious, or on the contrary totally obscure. I bought one of their albums back in my middle teenage years, I think it was "Dure Limite". Also I remember quite well a song from their last album, called "Les Dunes". It got stuck in my head for months, although I never understood its lyrics. I think their most famous song is "La Bombe humaine".

Nice verb conjugation there stu Try saying trobrianders with a French accent. Good practice.

Posted - 06/12/2009 : 08:45:08 Cheers I'll have a listen. Tu parles francais, trobrianders? I've become a bit of a francophile these past few months. I'm keen to learn the language, though I'm an absolute beginner.

What are you listening to lately Madame?

Posted - 06/10/2009 : 10:15:52 I had a feeling I might be liking a band who none of the French board members like. I guess I can just continue to be blissfully ignorant of how lame they probably really are since I don't really know the background of the band.
Noir Désir is another band I've listened to, I like the song 'Un Jour En France'.
Can anybody recommend me some good French bands? I've liked Hushpuppies ever since remig's podcast cd swap thingy a couple of years ago (wow, has it been that long!?), but I was thinking specifically of bands that sing in French.
