The Chick Habit party on 24 November was also the launch of the new CD Filles Fragiles, compiled by Guuzbourg over at Filles Sourires after much hard work. Two songs are featured in Podcast No. 26: a duet by Salvatore Adamo & Olivia Ruiz and another by Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin. As well, in the hipster category, the oh so dreamy young Jacques Dutronc and a more mature yet charming Gilbert Bécaud. Sandwiched in between are the very mellow Françoise Hardy and the very uppity Sylvie Vartan.

Jacques Dutronc – Le responsable
Gilbert Bécaud – L’orange

Here’s a wonderful video of C’est ma vie by Phonoboy, which makes me smile. It’s modern music with an unmistakable retro feel. It was filmed in Munich’s Hofgarten which I recognised from my summer visits there.

On 15 December at the Atomic Café Munich, Germany, DJ Martin Hemmel will be spinning yé-yé, freakbeat, soul & groovy 60s pop sung in French, leading up to a record launch and live performance by Munich’s Phonoboy.
