In honour of a speed mail delivery (love the smell of fresh vinyl!) of French retro garage band Les Terribles, here is a great video of them playing with 1960s singer Christine Pilzer who is in fact 66 years of age today. And she rocks too!

I’ve added some more music by Serge Gainsbourg – as if there was not enough! – and some other lovely samba-esque tunes.

On 24 May at De Nieuwe Anita in Amsterdam, Thomas Bohnet of Le Tour in Munich is coming to Amsterdam to spin a wide range of French pop that has made him a very well known DJ throughout Germany and beyond. Alongside the man from Munich will be DJ Duo Studio 17 in an all French programme of yé-yé, easy listening and cartoon music in the foyer as well as yours truly DJ Natashka and my jerk and jazz favs to warm up the dance floor.
