Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année ! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks everybody for your support and help this year!

And here it is, the last podcast of the year and it’s all yours right in time for Christmas! Podcast No. 36 has some jingling bells sung by Québec bands, a French band and an Englishwoman who made France her home. I’m off to cook and bake now!

Playlist
Tony Massarelli – Cette nuit les clochent sonnent
Ginette Reno – Vive le vent
Les Chaussettes Noires – Noël de France
Les Classels – Le sentier de neige
Petula Clark – Mon beau sapin
Danièle et Michèle – La neige sous mes pas

If you want more French Christmas songs or funky, dirty, sexy, odd, funny ones sung in all kinds of ways, check out Christmas a gogo, where I’ve contributed this year along with many cool bloggers from around the world.

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
Sacha Distel – C’est les vacances
Sheila – Pendant les vacances

Yes, Podcast No. 30 is on the way, just waiting for that summer feeling to come back after weeks of pure autumn weather here in Amsterdam.

If all goes well, The Lovers will be performing in Amsterdam sometime late September and so another super soirée it is! More on this later.

And lots of Petula Clark and some Blossom Dearie was added to the radio.
