I have been waiting to throw a Radio Oh la la bash for ages and that time has finally come! Put on your best 50s or 60s get-up and be part of the very first Radio Oh la la party at De Nieuwe Anita in Amsterdam on Saturday 14 July, which of course is the French national holiday (aka Bastille Day). There will be French jazz lounge in the foyer and twist, yéyé and French groove on the dance floor. This brilliant off-beat venue has a great balcony for people watching!
One special guest will be DJ Waikiki Wilf of Amsterdam Beat Club fame. DJ Natashka (aka me) plans to jump in and spin some of my jazz and jerk favourites as well. Radio Oh la la T-shirts for men and women will be available, and there are rumours of prizes to be won and a special dance performance. More details will follow!

Podcast No. 20 starts off psychedelic with some Richard de Bordeaux & Daniel Beretta and Les Papyvores, moves in a female direction with Sophie Mansart and Christine Pilzer, and finishes up in jazz lounge with Les Double Six and Lucky Blondo.
I want to know: are there other James Bond themes in French? I own Bob Asklöf ‘Bons baisers de Russie’ (From Russian with Love)(see Podcast No. 2), Mireille Mathieu ‘Les yeux de l’amour’ (‘The Look of Love’, original Casino Royale) and Lucky Blondo ‘Tu vivras deux fois’ (‘You Only Live Twice’). I already know about Michel Legrand’s music to ‘Never Say Never Again’ and Isabelle Aubret doing ‘Savez-vous ce qu’il faut au sapin de Noël ?’ (that Christmas ditty with children singing in ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’). If you know anything, please tell me by commenting here.
