Last night I completely blew off all my already-hopelessly-behind schoolwork to go to a Röyksopp concert! It was fantastic and completely worth the minor twinges of guilt.
Anneli Drecker was touring with them, providing vocals on several songs; I had hoped it would be Karen Dreijer Andersson of The Knife, because she is a force of nature, but Anneli was also amazing! She wore a series of masks and outfits during the show, including a particularly memorable owl mask and feathered cape--she also did some kind of crazy owl dance which I can't even describe, beyond "awesome".
You've probably already seen the video for "Remind Me", but just in case:
Here are some of other
favorites
ones that are good; honestly, I cannot pick favorites, don't make me try:
What Else Is There? (with Karin Dreijer Andersson)
This is an excellent song, but I'm actually posting it so that I can link to the Trentemøller remix, which is high on my list of "If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, it would be this one" songs.
Tricky Tricky (with Karin Dreijer Andersson)
The Girl and the Robot (with
Anneli Drecker
oops, my bad, with Robyn)
Poor Leno
Never let it be said that the Scandinavians don't know how to make people dance.

PROFESSOR (at end of class today): Happy Thanksgiving! Don't come in here for the next four days. And if you have any work for me, don't do it.
ME: No promises.
(I do appreciate the sentiment, though.)
