2065015, too kitsch Posted by howisya, Fri Apr-17-09 05:07 PM
i know everyone around the blogosphere is raving (no pun intended) about it, but the silly dubstep synths and ragga chatter take away from the song for me. the original slays. first of all, that's a good team: mark bell, matthew herbert, brian chippendale, and thom yorke. second, bjork should sing in icelandic for a while. having gained a little too much insight into her english language lyric writing methods, i imagine she probably writes more meaningful songs in her native tongue, and anyway, she sounds great singing in it. some of my favorite songs on 'medulla' weren't in english. there was a project she started a few years ago of rewriting and singing all her songs in icelandic, but i guess that was scrapped.
i do like switch, and this is a cool remix for what it is.
