Along with New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle," Vitalic's "Poney, Pt. 1" is probably my favorite dance track of all time. Today I saw the video. Um. Wow. I'm glad I hadn't taken a sip of water, because my monitor would be soaked right now. Spit-take amazing. I won't ruin it, but I will say that the song's big, evil sound (It's probably Dracula's favorite dance track, too.) is completely undermined by the video. Just go watch it immediately.
That I should see the video today is made eery weird by the fact that I was reading Malcolm Gladwell's New Yorker article about pit bull profiling this morning. [Sorry, no link. You'll have to track down the Feb. 6 issue to read.] Very weird. Makes me wanna go pee on a fire hydrant.
Speaking of The New Yorker, the current issue has Sasha Frere-Jones reviewing the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album. (Wait, he writes about white musicians too??) There's nothing more pathetic than that guy trying to distill the (not-so-)new hottness for a readership of upper-middle-class 45-year-olds in New Hampshire. Just stick to Paul Simon and Bonnie Raitt.
