This week, this blog celebrates it's third birthday (on September 10, to be precise), and it's a nice tradition to celebrate this date with a mix. I tried to make a mix using only ukelele-songs, because of Coralie's new album, but I don't own that many songs with the smallest guitar, and honestly, it gets to cheesy after a while. That said, cheesy isn't bad, so this year I tied together a bunch of French cheese, funny songs, parodies, campy hommages and ultra-sweet chansons. Hope you like it. Everything that happened the last three years was beyond my wildest dreams: so many visitors, lots of contributions, lots of nice comments, the release of Filles Fragiles 1, the upcoming release of Filles Fragiles 2, the concerts in November, the parties with Natasha, the dj-gigs, thanks for the memories!
