kicking it old school (like 2006)

so, i'm going to be leaving spokane soon. all the things i liked about this place has disappeared or is soon disapearing. one of them being a coffeeshop/venue called "the empyrean"... back about 4 years ago, when it was still on madison street, i had my first art show in spokane there, and since this was when EVERYBODY was friends, there would often be spontaneous after hours dance parties. what takes me back most to those happy days is the Knife, an electro pop group from sweden, composed of siblings olaf and karin. youtube has a sick playlist of them, i highly suggest turning up the volume and starting your own dance party. karin started another  project called Fever Ray, it's ok, but i prefer olaf's beats. also, if you feel like having your head explode, check out their ode to charles darwin Tomorrow, In a Year, which is a frickin' opera.
