Video Of The Week: Plajia

After much pondering about which video to feature this week, I decided to stay faithful to friends and opted to feature Plajia for the second time.

The reason I hesitated wasn't that I don't like the song - it's a pretty faithful cover of John Lennon's Jealous Guy - a terrific song. It's more that the video is from their studio sessions during the recording of the song and, as such, is pretty similar to their first video I featured on here.

And while everybody's trying to cash in on Lennon's ''70th birthday'' celebrations (really? aren't we going to also remember a month from now for the anniversary of his death?), Plajia just wanted to honour the guy's memory and will not release the song on any album.

As a matter of fact, they're offering it here for free.

As such, they crossed the line between ''fans of Lennon'' and became kindred spirits more on his level. And let's not forget the man himself wrote some of his most influential solo songs in a hotel room in Montréal. That's got to account for something.
