Hoppipolla

January 26th 2009 00:33

Sigur Ros are a wonderful and beautiful Icelandic band. Many of their lyrics are not even in a genuine language, but an invented one called Hopelandic, based on Icelandic sounds and open to interpretation.

Hoppippolla though, is predominantly in Icelandic. The title means ‘Jumping In Puddles’. The lyrics reference a group of friends having simple childhood adventures. The film clip porteys this with a childlike group of elders, and is a wonderful piece of film.

Tori Amos – 97 Bonnie and Clyde.

January 23rd 2009 08:05

I find great difficulty in expressing the awesomeness of Tori Amos. Her music is classy, emotional, intense. Her work is… more pretentious than I tend to like. Artistic to the point of pointless. But that’s no thing. It sounds awesome.

One thing about Tori is that she’s a feminist. So as one might be able to simply assume safely, she’s not the biggest supporter of the following song;

Horrified that people were dancing and enjoying music about the murder of a mother, Amos performed her own version of the song, keeping the lyrics essentially the same. In the recorded version, Amos sings from inside a box to give the feeling that she is in the boot of the car – giving voice to the voiceless mother. This here is a recorded live version of the song.
