“When I’m alone at night/ In the forest at night/ I’m not scared of bandits/ I cannot suppress it/… I’m afraid of the ghost/ When I’m alone at night/ In the forest at night/ I’m not scared of bandits/ When I’m alone at night/ In the forest at night/ I’m not scared of bandits/ I cannot suppress it/ And why am I irrational?/ There are things I cannot control.” —Stereolab, “Vodiak”
I love this band and I love this fan-made music video. I wonder if Lætitia Sadier (the exquisitely funktastic and all-around brilliant lead singer) has seen it. I bet not. The Cool Police need to be tipped off.
I had the privilege of seeing Stereolab in 2008 on the tour promoting their final album. Sadly, the band broke up, but I’m sure its spirit keeps kickin’ out the jams in retro-futuristic heaven (featuring lots of egg-shaped chairs, psychedelic track-lighting, go-go dancer angels, and Robert Moog presiding over it all).
