POP MUSIC - Is it too late to start with your heart in a headlock?





The video has the minimal style of Bjork's Vespertine era with the musical sensibilities of Bjork's 99.5% all-vocal album, Medulla.

With the electronic-heavy tracks Imogen Heap pumps out, combined with her yodel-like vocals, it came as no surprise that when I first heard of her (when she was one part of a 2 part band called Frou Frou), I just had to hear more.

"Hide and Seek" - the video you see above - may only technically be a performance video, but the spectacular lighting, wind-swept slow-mo hair, and great fashion sense really makes this visual piece pop.

If you haven't heard of her before, I strongly suggest you seek her out.

POP TECH - Introducing NORNNA.




My friend Matt informed me of a new internet sensation (not really) NORNNA!



This is the first video she's ever posted. Anyone who saw this video when it was first uploaded truly had no idea what they were getting themselves into. And yes, her name is actually Nora, but if she's smart like me, she made up the name Nornna so it will show up easier in search engines.

The first video I watched was of her missing her bus to work:

Nornna has a therapist. I can't imagine why.

Before I just didn't like this song. Now I officially hate this song:



Why did she have to bring helpless innocent Eeyore into this?

On the positive side, she did not bring her cute cat into it:

Patty also shares my boredom.



Girl goes to church:

There's no better truthteller than a crying baby.



*SHOCK* Nornna has a brother, but the bigger shock is that he is cute! (With the exception of the ugly faces he makes into the camera, which then reminds you that him and Nornna are related.)

And yes, it is true Nornna: The more you eat, the more you indeed poop.

Her life can seemingly be summed up in this video:

"A Series of an of unfortunate eeevents."



Girl likes "Chocolot" Milk:

I like how she gives her nod of undeniable approval at the end.



And the consuming definitely doesn't stop there:

Here's her eating

Jell-O...



Chocolate Cherries (gross)...



and Corn Dogs.



"I'm so fucking thirsty too, holy shit!"

Sailor's mouth on her! Maybe if she stayed away from the hundreds of salty corn dogs and Fanta drinks she wouldn't be so "fucking thirsty".

And to completely swear you off of ever eating again, she performs her ritual.



Sorry for not warning you what was going to happen. I love her disclaimer to this one:

"If those LOVE the song "Wepon Of Choice" and get disgusted with girls like me powdering their feet ... don't watch this.

I don't want to see in comments 'Fuck you, Bitch for ruining this song for me!'"


To which Schandmaul87 comments "Fuck you, Bitch for ruining this song for me"

To cleanse your mind after all that Nornna jazz, I introduce to you non-Nornna related:

ALF IN THE DRYER!

(Thanks to Matt for the heads up on Nornna and Alf.)
