That was not bad…it needed more of those teeth though…

Anyway, if you liked that you’ll probably like the Battles Ice Cream video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9_8YEqk3Qc

I believe it was done by the same people who did the El Guincho video you posted a while back.

Fun stuff.

I love so many things about that; all smiles from start to finish.

Yeah, this is a band (artist I think, just one woman more or less) that I’ve heard recently who is actually doing something new and interesting and enjoyable. Good stuff.

I got her album a couple of weeks ago, when my company received the video, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Yes, Kevin, I also find her style “new”.

If I had to describe this/her it would be what I was led to believe Dirty Projectors sounded like. Only not because she is good and they are for the most part horrible.

I thought you dug Dirty Projectors? Or at least the new one?

No, just the song “Stillness Is The Move”. Hence the “for the most part” caveat to my statement. Maybe 1 other song on that record is barely tolerable. But pretty much anything sung by the dude makes me want to stab myself in the ears repeatedly.

I seem to remember that nearly everyone here (myself included) was all flippy floppy over the Dirty Projectors album.

I begrudgingly liked it, then hated it, then liked it some more, then hated it again, now, like Kevin, I like a song or two.

I despised everything about the Rise Above album. All of it. The sound, the smarmy concept, the way that fucking douchebag singer holds his stupid douchebag guitar. Like few albums have ever sent me into as profound a rage as that one.

With Bitte Orca I heard Stillness first and thought “Whoa…maybe I’ll have to re-evaluate this.” Then I heard the rest of it and realized that I would not have to re-evaluate it.

Hahahahahhaahha! A rare glimpse of Kev-rage. I love it.

I whole- heartedly agree with ALL of this statement.

Rare? Really? I feel like that’s kind of old hat. I’m hoping this was sarcasm, otherwise I’m slipping in my old age.

Your rage is usually more dry and level headed; like an old man moaning into a stiff wind. This was a bit more raw, and all the better for it. There are no apologies here.

Cynic, n.:
A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not
as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking
out a cynic’s eyes to improve his vision.
