I know it’s been a rather long time since my last tirade of unstobble angst; be well aware that it wasn’t because of my desire to neglect my three readers. Ya see; we here at Cranky Yellow have been doing a rather large show, Crammed Organisms. It’s kept me from blogging both here and on Craftingagreenworld.com, a place that actually pays me. Well, used to pay me; I am sure they’ve deleted me from their records by now.

Crammed Organisms was actually a success; thanks to the unusually large number of plush fans in the city; the host businesses (Apop Records, Starclipper, and Subterranean books), and our friends. Of course, the success came at a severe cost to my time and energy; instead of countless hours lounging about I had to spend countless hours finding ways to avoid work so I could lounge about. Tough stuff, let me tell you.

Now that that’s all out of the way I suppose I can get back to my usual blogging of weird stuff, stuff that makes me angry, youtube videos, and updates about why I have been too busy (See:lazy) to actually blog any of that in a reasonable increment of time.

To beg forgiveness I will be offering a host of interesting videos (mostly musical in nature) that I have found/been made aware of. Though, before I do I would like to say a thing or two about you, the reader-oo.

I really appreciate it when you approach me in the real world to tell me how much you enjoy my blog. It is nice to know that someone, somewhere is reading this garbled mess and actually finding satisfaction in it. Besides, my ego needs a boost every now and again. Not that I don’t already think that I am the greatest thing since sliced marshmallows.

Anyways, on to the videos!

These lovely numbers come courtesy of Jaquei…jaqei….jaquii…jaqay…hmm:

Both from the same band; don’t view if you have small children nearby (they might spontaneously combust at the mere glance). Army of Lovers was that Swedish-pop bridge between the New Wave 80s and the Techno 90s; expect lots of weird.

Intense, I know. Perhaps a refreshing, tame, melodic performance from the 80s will calm us down:

Nina Hagen, opera singer, New Wave queen, and alien baby’s mama.

Hmmm, didn’t cool your nerves? Perhaps something abit softer? The following artist isn’t known primarily as a musician or vocalist but the open-minded won’t mind ignoring his main profession and having a listen:

That’s it for now; expect plenty more soon. Until then Crankies, keep it yellow! (whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean).
