Today we return to a more serious type of music video, at least briefly.
This is the Norwegian group Bel Canto's piece "Birds of Passage," sung by Anneli Drecker. It has some similarities with ethereal electronica, although I'm not sure it quite qualifies. I'm not sure I understand the symbolism, but at the same time it's kind of moving in its own way.
Now we're back onto amusing/weird. I've been amusing myself with the 80s, but I actually realize that it's not quite the 80s which amuse me, but the surrealism. So here's the Dandy Warhols for you:
Apparently, heroin is so passé. Who knew?
Even UC doesn't know this band.
How obscure.

What, the Dandy Warhols, or Bel Canto? If Bel Canto, that's because it's Norwegian and the press releases keep getting encased in icebergs.

He knows the Dandy Warhols. Ok, I'll send him over and he can sort this out.
New post, goddammit!

Sorry, I was working on an abstract for a conference. I'll get right to it this afternoon. Now I must go obtain proper dental hygiene.

Abstract for a conference?
Oh man! Another Canuk PhD for AG to lust after?!
Goddammit.

Sorry, us Canuck PhD students are everywhere. Or is UC not a student anymore?
