Nouveau Western plus Bonnie and Clyde

MC Solaar (Claude Honoré M'Barali, born in Dakar) is a French rapper who sampled Serge Gainsbourg's "Bonnie and Clyde" in 1994, long before many artists covered the same song in tribute to Serge, who was rediscovered in the first decade of this century, reborning as a cult artist since then.

Later, Dean Wareham with Britta Phillips, made some amazing covers of that song, as follows.



The original, Serge Gainsbourg with Brigitte Bardot in 1968:


And one more by Dean and Britta:

Yoko Ono turned 90

"The world's most famous unknown artist: everybody knows her name, but nobody knows what she does", John Lennon once said about Yoko Ono. Musically it is not easy to appreciate all Yoko's work. But undoubtedly she made very nice songs, and some of the most known are lullabies like "Listen, The Snow Is Falling" and more recently "Who Has Seen The Wind?" due to the cover made by David Byrne and Yo La Tengo included in the tribute album " Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono" released one year ago.
