What a fun show today was! Abbie Huff was my special guest and we really did have a blast! I wasn't nervous, in fact very comfortable and hope she can visit again! Abbie spent her Year Abroad in Paris and so she had lots of insider information for us!
To start with, this is what we plaaaaayed: (this time it's song titles!)
Phoenix - Fences
Carla Bruni - Quelqu'un m'a dit
Birdy Nam Nam- Abbesses
Chantal Goya - Laisse-moi
Daft Punk- Aerodynamic
Justice - Ttthheeee parttyyy
Yann Tiersen - J'y suis jamais allé
The Teenagers - French Kiss
Cocoon - Hummingbird
Air - Femme d'Argent
M83 - Skin of the Night
Vive la fete - Maladie d'un fou
ALBUM RECOMMENDATION: EVERYONE get M83's album Saturdays=Youth. It'll blow you away. Its quite an old album but amazing nonetheless.
Abbie really knew her stuff and it was good fun and being transported to Paris with her! These are my favourite spots and tips:
Musée Rodin – Varenne, beautiful gardens – great place to reflect, read a book and a way to escape the hustle and bustle of Paris - most museums free for Europeans under the age of 26
Love myself a good vintage flea market (my favourite pastime in Berlin!) so Abbie recommends Le marché aux Puces, Porte de Clignancourt (North of Paris) - clothing, furniture, books, bric-a-brac.
Gig Venue- - La Fleche d’Or. Great atmosphere, great upcoming bands- it’s actually an old train station and it costs just 8 euros to get in which includes a free beer.
And our insider tip: Solidays – anti-Aids festival and promoting awareness of the disease; reasonably priced, takes place on the outskirts of Paris
Ending with a video again, this is Birdy Nam Nam, preforming Violons live. Really impressive. Couldn't play it on the show as its a live performance but here it is for you to enjoy!
Thanks again to all those who tuned in and a SPECIAL THANK YOU to Abbie Huff!
Thanks for posting this up and merci beaucoup for inviting me on your show- I had a lot of fun :) x
