Back from two weeks of French record shopping in Montréal, Québec, I scored me an interview with record collector and sixties girl group enthusiast Denis Lalonde (photo) of the well-known Ultra Chicks compilations and record store Le Pick-Up. Podcast No. 25 features this interview as well as an all-out French Canadian music podcast, complete with accents and quebecisms.

Les Minous Blancs need to be believed, while Les Milady’s cover France Gall oh so sweetly. Karo sings a song about buzzing bugs, Les Hou-Lops show off their buzzing guitars and Michèle Richard & Denis Pantis cover Serge Gainsbourg. In the end, you can picture me singing along to Pierre Lalonde when nobody is watching.
