Honki ponki, part 2

This would be OOIOO's all-kinds-of-lovely cover of Turkish singer Şenay's 1980 hit 'Honki Ponki', alluded to in my previous post.

OOIOO - Honki Ponki



Meanwhile, Mundos Disparatados (2009) by Buenos Aires-based artist Pablo Gamba seems apt. Have a nice day.

Honki ponki

You know what? There is not enough vintage Turkish pop in my life, nor in yours. So let's get educated with Şenay, apparently a popular diva of the 70s and early 80s.



The jaunty tune below, meanwhile, was rather straight-forwardly covered on OOIOO's recent Armonico Hewa, revealing a heretofore unarticulated connection between the Japanese noise avant-garde of today and the Anatolian bubblegum fodder of yore.



I'm of a mind to tumble down the rabbit hole of "related videos" on YouTube. Seeya later...

Top five album covers of 2009 (Madmadcat edition)

5. Burning Hearts, Aboa Sleeping


4. Obi Best, Capades


3. Camera Obscura, My Maudlin Career


2. OOIOO, Armonico Hewa


1. Delorean, Ayrton Senna

Each of these, by the way, happens to be represented on my best-of-2009 mix CD, which is pretty much done. I'm going to let it sit for the weekend though, as there's no rush and such things should marinate for awhile.

ADDENDUM: Delorean put a different cover, below, on the Spanish edition of Ayrton Senna, which also suits very much. I like these guys; with their civilised pop sheen they remind me a bit of Saint Etienne (who also do good album covers). As they are from Barcelona I'm hoping it's not a stretch to imagine them playing Primavera next year.
