be a part of the doll squad
a few years ago i organised a mix-tape exchange for like minded blowupdoll fans. it worked really well and loads of new music was shared and discovered. it's how i discovered 'the name game', the emmanuelle theme and luna parker.
this year i would like to invite you to join in and make a mix-tape that i can post on blowupdoll. i know there are so many of you out there who suggest songs, leave comments and send me music and i 'd love to get you involved for this mixtape special!
all you need to do is make a zipfile that contains 10 - 12 songs. choose or create a picture cover, and write a brief introduction to your mixtape then email it to me- i am happy to host the zipfile and i will post it on here. if you have a blog, i will include a link to your site too.
your mixtape must be doll themed! it's ok to include songs posted on blowupdoll in the past, the songs can be in any language and from any era but they must have female vocalist and be aimed at the blowupdoll reader.
DO IT!
i look forward to hearing from you...

FRANCE GALL - ICH HABE EINEN FREUND IN MUNCHEN
another german track - this time requested by darby. i don't have the b-side 'miguel' though - can anyone else share it?Labels: france gall, french 70s, german
synth doll
ok ok ok, so we all know this song. we surely must agree that it is the height of 80's french electropop. we must also agree that we are forever indebted to jacno for his part in it.
now lets watch lio shake her head, swing from side to side in a sulky fashion in a short red leather skirt!
go christine go!
CHRISTINE PILZER - CHAMPS ELYSEES

a great little number requested by marie-chantal.
another four king great tune
THE FOUR KING COUSINS - LOVE SO FINE
and here's another great sunny track for the weekend.
four king marvellous
THE FOUR KING COUSINS - I FELL
these four doris days in shift dresses released an amazingly psychedelic sunshine pop album in the late 60's. and the songs never fail to fill me with joy. i hope this brings you some happiness too.
it's fathom!
watch this amazing clip from the raquel welch special from 1970 - firstly glorious in a red cape singing california dreaming then be prepared to be blown away by her groovy space age dance. wow!
talking of pussy...
PUSSY CAT - HYMNE AU SOLEIL
love this woman.
Labels: french 60s, pussycat
hunt the pussy
LES PETITES SOURIS - CE N'EST PAS TRISTE
this is my favourite song from the short lived les petites souris. this group also features blowupdoll icon pussycat on drums (not sure where she is in the picture- on the far left?)Labels: french 60s, les petites souris, pussycat
cool jerk
CAROLINE - BACH ET JERK
this song is slightly mental (just check out the random cover) but the contrast between classical and groovy works really well.
