NOW IT IS TIME FOR THIS.
Tune Tuesdays #8
“TUNE TUESDAYS” is French Kennedy’s weekly installment on our blog where he shares an hour-long Spotify playlist of music you shouldn’t be living without, whether old or new.
This week, because the winter is foggy in Amsterdam, and because all we need in this life is music to warm our hearts, I decided to pick a few sun kissed tracks from the continent.

“TUNE TUESDAYS” is French Kennedy’s weekly installment on our blog where he shares an hour-long Spotify playlist of music you shouldn’t be living without, whether old or new.This week, I decided to give you hip-hop, or should I say some of that coke rap, that ratchet music, that gangster rhyming.

We can neither confirm nor deny that we had anything to do with these horoscopes that have appeared in the toilets around Wieden + Kennedy, nor that Girl Kennedy convinced Rens to act as some kind of ‘toilet fairy.’ So stop asking.
Tune Tuesdays #6
“TUNE TUESDAYS” is French Kennedy’s weekly installment on our blog where he shares an hour-long Spotify playlist of music you shouldn’t be living without, whether old or new.
This week, I had decided to focus a little bit more on singers that have been coming to us from Great Britain in recent years. Since the United Kingdom seems to be literally churning them every week and I needed an excuse not to listen to the new Coldplay album (which is, it turns out, great), it was a perfect excuse.
The extra song featured on the playlist is Simon & Garfunkel’s classic “The Boxer” which seems fitting as one of the greatest left-hooks in Boxing history left us this morning, knocked out by his toughest opponent yet, liver cancer.
Rest in Peace, Smokin’ Joe Frazier

Significant objects: Heimerker Elefanten, who arrived inside a Kinder Surprise egg, that arrived in a massive crate of eggs sent by Kinder to the agency + a tin of sugary mints from my dentist. Dr House has his ball that he tosses around when he thinks. I have minty fresh breath and I hold a tiny plastic elephant. His eyebrows are wearing away. That’s a lot of thinking.
