Today must be electroday or something, all these videos are suddenly out. Good song, great video. It reminds me of “With Every Hearbeat” by Robyn and Kleerup. Lovely!

Conservatives are going ape
This came at a right time after I went to the National History Museum solely to visit Darwin’s statue and say hi. They won’t budge because they want their constituencies to keep voting for them, even when science proves otherwise. The conservative agenda won’t settle for fact and would rather follow some myth. This is why they are about to face popular extinction. I like the last Mount Rushmore comment.

Finally, she is actually extended the tour. It was rumored before that she would do a date in New York. But, from the looks of it she’ll be going around the continent. I personally think she should have done Boston, Montreal, San Francisco and Washington, DC, too. Click to see the complete tour.

Visualette: “Curtain Call” by Tori Amos
Abnormally Attracted To Sin is shaping up to be a deep multi-faceted album. It’s dim, complex and weighty.

Is that a foreign concept to you?
Visualette: “Give” by Tori Amos
1This is very dark and deranged. It might not be my favorite but it will settle well with people who have a special place in their heart for Strange Little Girls.

I am not going to go on again about pimping out my compilations but dare I say that I have compiled another stone winner that I personally can not stop listening to. There are a lot of organic influences: my love of everything Scandinavian, my road trip through England, folk musings, a rising fascination with jazz standards and the prospect of love. Cheesy, maybe! Bad? No way!
