Salut France, Pt.1



With my second show coinciding with Bastille Day, it was time to get out the old Charles Trenet and Django Reinhardt records (with the help of itunes) and devote the show to French music, old and new.  Befitting an event where a scaled-back prison was stormed and seven prisoners released, there is some mild revolutionary music from Francoise Hardy, Praline, Daft Punk and DJ Cut Killer (my token two-minute nod to French hip-hop).  Mr Oizo also makes an appearance and I cheat a little, playing some Errors, Arcade Fire and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.  Clicking on the title above will take you to the download.
