Just recently, the USA celebrated our independence by blowin' up fireworks, and now it's France's turn! It was on this day in 1789 that 80,000 disgruntled citizens stormed the Bastille, a Parisian prison, thus inciting the French Revolution. As a salute to our fellow defenders of human rights, KEXP shares a Francophile-friendly Video Playlist spotlighting bands from that beautiful country. Joyeux Le Quatorze Juillet!
