This mixtape pulls together a collection of some of my favorite French music from the 1960s through today to celebrate Bastille Day. The French national holiday (which was celebrated in Philadelphia over the weekend at Eastern State Penitentary), commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which took place on July 14, 1789, marking the beginning [...]
It’s crazy to think that we’re already about half-way through 2008. It seems like just yesterday when I was ringing in the New Year in a cozy cabin-like bar in Vermont, while feet of snow accumulated outside.
