Douce France

from Broadside Balladeer SoundCloud · host Vic Sadot

"Douce France" is a parody by Vic Sadot of the song written in 1943 by Charles Trenet in France during the Nazi occupation, Vichy collaboration, and the French Resistance. It was not recorded until 1947 after the Liberation from the Occupation. This is a parody, but not a mocking one. It expresses a love and preference for a liberated and free France over one led by corruption and fascism.

Felix Cartal - Weekend Workout Felix Cartal This is my podcast. Every month I do a new mix to soundtrack your workouts and weekend nights. Plus, I get friends to do takeover mixes. Tune in on Diplo's Revolution on SiriusXM, SoundCloud, Mixcloud, or iTunes Podcasts. TomCattt Thomas Patton From the beginning music has prowled with accordion lessons at a young age, followed by sax, blues harp and more recently piano, vocals, song writing and recording. Thomas Patton (AKA TomCattt) credits his mother for his stage name "TomCattt” as she was big on nick names for those she held close to her heart. TomCattt's music is best described as easy listening and sometimes retro, yet with a contemporary mix and feel. Accompanied by the creative tracks of a number of gifted musicians, his first album Hiiyaaaaaaaaaaa inspires imagination and finds a way to impress with a unique vocal sound, compelling harmony and gripping melody. The lyrical content is in fact a living reflection of this artists emotional journey that followed leaving love, finding a new love only to lose love once again. Hiiyaaaaaaaaaaa was released on June 1st, 2013 and all are invited to Soundcloud, Bandcamp, ReverbNation and Cdbaby where "A Question" is free download and to enjoy TomCattt's website tomcattt.com.
