This afternoon my sister and I are driving up to Austin for the weekend. We like to roll the windows down and sing. There may be a few guilty pleasures here and there. This mix starts out mellow and gets more upbeat toward the end. Perfect for arriving at our destination. 60 songs.

34 tracks

From the late '40s to the early '60s, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, on the left bank of the Seine in Paris, was the heart of the intellectual and artistic life in France. The musical landscape: jazzy song and pure "chanson française".

I chose, with care and love, 35 songs among my favourite ones. Several were written/composed by Boris Vian, the soul of Saint-Germain, and Serge Gainsbourg, his worthy heir. The other ones are brilliant too.

eighteen songs including lana del rey, nancy sinatra and mississippi john hurt.

the picture is from my favorite scene from badlands by terrence malick, with martin sheen and sissy spacek. this mix was kind of inspired by that film, and also by the story of bonnie and clyde.

Songs that come from different countries, such as Brazil, France and Cuba
