Jeg lyvede da jeg sagde, jeg ikke danser

I've been saving this one for a while. Sorry to have kept it from you -- but I had a very good reason for it. Anyway, here it is now:

You can download all the songs from the first two albums -- I Was So Unpopular in School and Now They're Giving Me This Beautiful Bicycle and The World According to Pablo -- by Billie the Vision & the Dancers, on their very cute website. (Actually, the cute side of their website seems to be having trouble connecting to the files, but if you go to the parent directory, you will find links to all the songs on a fully-functional, if not very attractive, page.) The songs are pretty gorgeous -- just the right mix between lo-fi popishness and danceability. The consensus online seems to be that Summer Cat is their best song, and it's good, but not my favorite. You may instead wish to try Want To Cannot Help But Dance.

Unfortunately, Billie the Vision & the Dancers' latest album, Where The Ocean Meets My Hand, is not available for download, but you can stream two tracks on myspace -- one of which is 'Overdosing With You,' a duet with the phenomenal Hello Saferide. It's about watching TV, which I don't do, but even though I've never seen either (any?) of the programs they talk about, I still love it. I've had the line 'hello Pablo, I've got this vision we can dance to' stuck in my head since, I think, the first time I heard it. I really wish I knew someone called Pablo so I could say it to him, but, alas, I don't. Anyway.
