OMG YOU GUYS

You know how some places chose to do a Harlequin-based slash challenge by passing out the summary blurbs from the back of the books to people to base their stories on?

What if you did that with badfic summaries?

That would be awesome.

Only Europeans can be that post-modern, I'm pretty sure.

Wax downloaded this short film. Video clip. Thing. I. Okay, I already loved The Knife, but ... I think I'm a little in love.

When I Found The Knife (about 5 min) and the sequel, When I Found The Knife Again (about 5 and a half min). Two post-modern surreal short films about a rabbit and the mesmerising, magical music made by a pair of monkeys called The Knife. There's a kangaroo mouse and a leopard-print steering wheel cover and a little house made of cardboard and - rabbit. Also, a voiceover. Just. Omg.

(The Knife are a brother-sister electronica duo from Sweden who make their music in English. Pass This On is their best video and catchiest hook.)

Bands Cim Didn't Hear Even Though They Were In Town Last Week

Have some free Finnish music.

Zen Café - Piha ilman sadettajaa Finnish rock. The dude has a deep baritone and is beautifully, Finnishly monotonous. Maybe just hearing Finnish!Finnish-sounding singing isn't inherently hilarious if you aren't used to the way conversational Finnish sounds, but it is to me, which makes yet another reason to dig a really great and catchy song. This was their biggest single, according to my better half.

Värttinä - Oi dai A female vocal ensemble who sing Finnish folk music.

IF they were going to turn into baked goods...

(They being My Chemical Romance.)

(As wax and I crack up over the beginning of this sentence...) ...then Gerard should totally be Day of the Dead bread, you know? White dough moulded into a 3D skull and decorated with sugar. Am I right?  Or, if it didn't have to actually be baked, a calavera.


On another note entirely: last Finnish musicspam of the day? PMMP - Rusketusraidat. PMMP are the girl punk-pop duo who won the Finnish Grammies this year. This is their first single, and is really awesome although it isn't from their 100% awesome new album.



A note on the subject line: there's a story where Ryan Ross turns into a cupcake. Also a lot of stories where people turn into kittens, pencils, belts, dolls, etc. Look, I don't know, okay?
