Rahutu Tuhkatriinu

May 17th, 2007

..or Levoton Tuhkimo, as Dingo sang it in the 80s. I have to say that Internet and sites like Youtube and Myspace can bring very surprising or even amazing artists and songs to your ears and eyes if you happen to just surf around.

Today I heard a rumor that HIM has performed the Levoton Tuhkimo somewhere many years ago. Surprisingly I found a Video about such an event in no-time. However, while browsing for it I saw that there was also a version available that was made by Estonian artis Mari-Leen. It was quite a refreshing to hear such an old song in a (not so) different language, and with a modern arrangement. Seems like Estonian hit-factories know what buttons to push - at least if I was a DJ I’d surely take her song Suure Linna Inglid to my playlist.. Well, seems to be THE time for me to push the off button or the next thing I might find is Pate Mustajärvi singing Vladimir Vysotskin’s songs naked.
