Just to leave you some inspiration before my next overdue post, here are some neat low-fi French retro (and retro-esque) pop albums that I’ve enjoyed this week but currently do not own. Some of these vintage compilations are pretty pricey. I can’t wait to find Femmes De Paris V.1 for a bargain. It mostly has covers of American songs around the 60s sung in French—The Who’s “My Generation” and Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walking,” are examples of what you’ll find.

P.S. Julia, je vous remercie de me rendre visite cette semaine!
