Ah, The Knife. No matter where I am or what I’m doing, they make me want to drop it all and do a weird dance. Like an I’m-still-alive-in-all-my-fucked-up-glory dance. Like a dance so weird it becomes a celebration. This video, with its Hedwig and the Angry Inch vibe, is a beautiful example of what The Knife were all about. In a way they were themselves a sort of strange dance. I like it very, very much.

You’d have thought choosing just one Radiohead joint would be difficult, but it was surprisingly easy. The perfect song for weird dancing. Get long-limbed, oddly jointed, slowly, unfoldingly wild. Get dark with it.
