EuroPopDance

So I guess this is the "boredom" part. I'm putting off a phone call that I don't want to make and I have absolutely no idea what to post about today. I figure this is as good a time as any to practice posting a music video. Since no one reads this thing anyway I feel like I can share my cheesetastic taste in music without shame. See? I'm all about the silver linings.

Last week I read an article about the Swedish singer, Robyn in The New Yorker and since then I've been having a throwback to my euro pop dance (is that a genre?) phase. Since the nineties Robyn has continued to release great music, she just released a new album called Body Talk Pt. 1 which The New Yorker described as "near perfect pop songs embedded with a casual kind of feminism." Oh yeah and she also managed to do this while keeping her bits and pieces covered in what the article describes as a "small but significant comment on her status as a sexual object, she typically wears outfits that, tight as they may be, usually cover her from head to toe." Remind me, why are we listening to Lady Gaga? Or is the fact that Lady Gaga has been able to distract the world from her lack of talent a talent in itself? Well played Gaga. Well played indeed.

Anyhoo! Clothed or not Robyn and her new album are definitely going to be regulars on my Ipod. I like to listen to her when I'm in the final stretch of writing a paper, usually at the editing stage when I need that extra push of energy. Who could forget her late 90's classic 'Show Me Love' it's such a good driving in the car song and the video is pure 90's cheese. In other words I love it! I'm pretty sure one of my aunts started wearing a single earring in her right ear like Robyn and my cousin definitely had that haircut. Ok I'm going to try to add the video...




Sweet! Success! You can read the entire article from The New Yorker here.
