Terrific Tunes

Recently I've been looking into some French music. My exchange company, French teacher, and parents all say it's a really great way to start to get a hint of what the culture is like. Plus, it's a good way to start a conversation with somebody and make friends. So today, I'll be sharing with you some of my favorite French music I have discovered thus far. (Protip: the french music tag on Tumblr is a surprisingly good place to find some music that isn't on the Top 40 and a bit under the radar.) I am always open to suggestions for French music! Have a song? Let me know!

In no particular order:

Jenifer- Sur Le Fil 

Odezenne- Dedans 

Regina Spektor- Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas) 

Ben L'Oncle Soul- Petite Soeur 

MIKA- Grace Kelly (French) 

Yelle- Comme Un Enfant (Freaks Remix) 

Coeur de Pirate- Printemps 

Lala Joy- Il y a 

MIKA- Elle Me Dit 

Joe Dessin- Aux Champs Elysees 

Zazie- Je Suis Un Homme 

John Watson- Les Etoiles 

First Post

Hello everybody! As you can see, my blog is under construction. This is just a test post to see how things run. This whole blogging thing is a bit confusing at first! It's my first "real" blog, so just give me some time to get used to everything.

I'm not in France yet, but I will be in about two months. I'm very excited, and I can't wait to be over there!
If you have any questions, whether they be about foreign exchange or just life in general, feel free to let me know! I'll try the best I can to help out! I don't bite!

Bonne chance!
