I Think I Have A New Obsession: Some Time Ago I Took Home A CzechoslovakianLP Of An Italian Singer I

I think I have a new obsession: Some time ago I took home a Czechoslovakian LP of an Italian singer I never had heard of. Once I started playing the LP I totally got drawn into it. Some research later I found out that Anna Rustikano never rose to fame in her home country Italy, but had huge success in Czechoslovakia, where she was considered among the biggest stars from Italy.

And this Video of a performance of „Libera“ has it all: the weird host, that tries to joke in Italian only to confuse her (no, she's not singing „Volare“, one of the biggest Italian songs ever), the band in the background that pretends it's not a playback track, the audience totally apathetic (except of the old lady that waves towards the camera) and Anna Rusticanos dancing seems a little lost. The song gives me everything … I am totally obsessed.

Throwback to that time I used my leg as a weapon ... but then I think to myself: I still do.
