Two days ago, a few minutes before the end of April Fools day, the lovely Sterre was born! Hans and Lobke are very proud of their Rock Chick daughter, and so are we!

P Pita
O Otis, Oda
R Ramona
T
A
B
L
E
S Sterre

Name suggestions (male and female) to fill the gaps are welcome!

The previous post already brought you the news of the recently discovered undeniable ressemblance between our “Riddesonofa” intro-rif and Kate Nash’s “The Nicest Thing”. Of course this doesn’t make us mad at all, we actually *love* it when people derive inspiration from what we do (especially the famous pretty people :-)). It usually re-inspires us too! Anyway, here’s a little quick-n-dirty mashup just for fun:

Reader and fan Bramus sent us a mysterious e-mail telling us to have a listen to Kate Nash’s “The Nicest Thing”. Upon hearing her first guitarstrums, the message Bramus wanted to deliver became instantaneously clear: miss Nash obviously finds inspiration in de portables’ oeuvre!

Let’s see how good YOU know your idols: who can tell which portables song our beloved Kate based her “Nicest Thing” on?
