Not going on vacation? Never seen St. Tropez, let alone France or even Europe? Then this year’s summer podcast is for you! Podcast No. 34 is one big vacation, with sea, sex, sun, sadness, teenage romance, small hotel rooms and expensive drinks. Pretend you’re a teenager like France Gall here, sitting on a boat near Nice. Your family drags you down there from Paris every year and the boys keep trying to coax you to parties and kiss you while your sweetheart is stuck in the Canary Islands with black haired Spanish beauties in their bikinis. Life is so tough!

Playlist
Petula Clark – Voilà les vacances
Nelly Perrier – Un soir d’été
Serge Gainsbourg – Sea, sex and sun
France Gall – Le temps de la rentrée

Sheila – Pendant les vacances

Here is a taste (taste, as in scoring drugs and addictive) of French boogaloo guru Minimatic’s Jazz a gogo, a song originally sang by France Gall. I’ll be hosting the super duper release party of this single on 1 May 2009, follow the link for more info!

Bam, bop, whizz! The music will get you dreaming, dancing, swinging or just snapping your fingers. So go to your happy place like I do where the bar is stocked, the people are beautiful and the music is brought to you by Podcast No. 29, which took way too long, I know! I will make it up to you all soon, but for now, be cool and get ready to shake yourself or a drink.
