New Robyn Video - "Konichiwa Bitches"

We don't write about Robyn enough, but the new vid for her Chappelle-referencing song is so awesome, we're thinking that'll change. The director went face-value with the lyrics (which are decoded for Seacrest's benefit below), except for that beat-making monkey, which we'll chalk up to artistic vision.

A podiarist is probably more likely to hammer a toe.

Please do write more about Robyn! In the last year or so, she's put out a chain of brilliant pop songs. Her cover of Teddybears' "Cobrastyle" was one of my favorite songs of last year. Plus, she has her own record label, so she's as "indie" as anyone.

does anyone else remember that album she released in like 1999? did anyone else think she was black because the photo on the album art had obviously been fooled with? surprise, a white swedish girl.


(also, this song/entire style basically gwen stefani, but indie-r. i like it.)

That is complete crap. It sounds like a white swede trying to rap to bad beats.
