The Knife – "Silent Shout" (2006)

2010/01/13

Today was another one of those days when I am left questioning why do I do what I do. I spend so much time on the acquisition of money to survive, yet it seems I could be doing something far more purposeful and meaningful. It is only magnified by the insanity at my primary occupation of late. It all stirs me like a some sort of primal and subliminal beat only I can hear, driving me to do something about it. It is not unlike this song. It haunts me.

The Knife – "Pass This On" (2003)

2009/04/17

I first heard of "The Knife" on an "NPR – All Songs Considered" music review of the album "Silent Shout". I loved them immediately and I still think they are totally unique, quirky and fun.

This song is a perfect example, between the steel drums, Karin's unusual singing, and the dancing drag queen (Rickard Engfors, not actually a member of the band, but one of Sweden's premiere queens apparently). Despite their music appearing on some TV shows, like "CSI" and "Ugly Betty", they appear to be totally unknown to the average American. I get a lot of blank stares from people when I mention their name and I have yet to run into anyone who really knew their music before I introduced them. America, you're missing out!

PS: I didn't realize the dancer in the video was not a woman at first. I just thought maybe she looked different because she was Swedish. Heh.
