It was almost one year ago that I read about Geneviève Toupin on your blog. This was so amusing to me because at the time she was living in my town (Winnipeg, Manitoba) and I had never heard about her. What a great album.
A concert with Geneviève and band was recently recorded by the CBC and available on demand.
If you want to hear me murder the English language whilst talking about this blog and fragile French girls, be sure to check this month’s edition of Different Class Radio. An excellent English online radioshow that plays excellent music, including French pop. Go HERE.
KX Radio is a Dutch internet-only radiostation (owned by acclaimed dj Rob Stenders) that broadcasts shows by the creme de la creme of Dutch radio-dj’s, playing only the songs they like themselves. I started making podcasts for KX a few weeks back, that show’s called Ongehoord Goed (Unheard Goods) and I play my favorite non-English tracks. Anything goes, from bossa nova to cumbia to hiphop to rawk, sung in French, Finnish, German, Russian, Spanish…non-English, as I said. Here’s a link to the latest podcast, plus a tracklist. I will post links and tracklists of earlier shows later on this blog. The show’s hosted in Dutch, and yes, I’m not a natural when it comes to radiomaking. Enfin. Hope you like it anyhow. Pictured on the right is Swedish-Italian beauty Veronica Maggio.
