oh no


I Love you Oh No, is a very funny song made by the Japanese New Wave band The Plastics in 1979. Despite this band short success and living, they saw their hit covered several times, like this one by the amazing Françoise Cactus and her little band Stereo Total in 1999 and changing the title a bit intentionally.
Below, an original from Stereo Total, sung in German and in French.
Françoise passed away one month ago.

Do you realize?

Almost hidden from the public, this is a beautiful cover by Sharon Van Etten, from the Flaming Lips original, posted HERE.

Yes, Sharon is a beautiful person, an amazing artist and one of the most important revelations from the last decade.
Hard to think she was so close to go away as she sings in "Don't do it". She recovered very well and she even supported Sounds of Saving as we could watch in THIS POST.

But, please, be my guest and restart this last video and watch the entire session recorded on 25th March 2011, almost 10 years ago
(not on 20th of April as written on YouTube).

Birthday in lockdown


When I'm all alone on my own by my lonesome
And there ain't a single another soul around
I wanna dig into my guitar bend a blues riff that hangs
Over everything
