tube :: robyn — "konnichiwa, bitches"



Technicolor, bitches! While my dear friend Tug is a little more in tune with the dancier side of life than I am, I must admit my absolute inability to resist shaking my pasty, lily-white ass to this since discovering this on Pitchfork and Idolator yesterday. From what I can gather — as I must admit I've never really listened to Robyn before — that most of the Swedish ingenue's career has been geared toward sunny Swedish R&B pop. But this Missy Elliott-like turn (both in the song and in the video) is downright fantastic, down to the Peaches-esque braggadocio and the Sesame Street beat. It also doesn't hurt that "Konnichiwa, Bitches" contains some of the sharpest one-liners I've ever heard. The IndieRocket consensus best: "Count you out just like a mathematician."

Watch, enjoy, and thank me later.
