The Spinshots (free download)
Remember The Spinshots? They did a spectacular cover of Gainsbourg’s ‘Qui est in, qui est out‘ on the Gainsnord-tribute. And they recorded a very sultry French song called ‘Désirs Mutuels‘. The Amsterdamians, fronted by the ultra-lovely Flora Dolores, recorded an album that will be released in September. But the first single (en Anglais) is downloadable for FREE.

EDIT: This video was re-linked. The song is used in the Dutch documentary Ne Me Quitte Pas, and yes, it’s a deliberate soundalike of Francoise Hardy’s Le Temps de L’Amour. As I remember it, in the cinema, you’d hear Le Temps de L’Amour, but when the documentary was shown on tv, they could not get (or want to pay for) the track, so they made a soundalike. Responsible for that is Pascal DeWeze, he of Metal Molly-fame (great Belgian band from the 90s).
Monsieur le Vagabond
Almost forgot to pay tribute to Bobbejaan Schoepen, one year after he sadly passed away. Luckily his beautiful granddaughter Femke Ganzeboom-Schoepen already did – when Bobbejaan still was among us – with a sweet and relaxed interpretation of granddad’s classic track ‘Monsieur le Vagabond’.
