It came with McSweeney’s issue #15 and is completely in Icelandic. I learned about Trabant from the magazine pictured to the left. “Kissing in and of itself can’t create offspring or cause life-threatening disease.” She offers an example of how if you just kissed someone you would never be stuck having to listen to his post-coital ramblings afterwards. She agrees that marriage is a serious business but kissing is not. She explains that kissing new people is one of the great joys in life and, while being in a committed relationship is also wonderful, she feels that removing the joy of kissing new people is a terrible drag.
As when she begins her essay, “One of the perks of my job is that I regularly get to kiss men-often married men-with zero repercussions for anyone involved.” Of course she’s talking about acting, but as she says-who is to know if she slips out of character while kissing? Mindy Kaling is always funny, especially when you’re not sure how serious she is. The five brief pieces in this week’s New Yorker are labeled as “Imagined Inventions.” And in each one, the author is tasked with inventing something. See if it’s as scandalous as Iceland thinks. I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s more than typical.Īs for the video, I can’t tell if this is male fantasy lesbianism or what, but since this story is all about kissing, here’s a video that’s all about kissing.
There’s an interesting style to the backing vocals that seems to make it more than a pop song as well. It’s poppy but a little more aggressive than a typical pop song (and not as metal as a pop metal song). I don’t do boys I just do girls I just do girls with kissable ass”). Piano chords play slowly until the tone changes for the bridge and the very simple chorus (which reminds me of Blur’s Boys and Girls in a way, although it doesn’t sound anything like them): “I don’t do Boys, I just do Girls, I just do girls with style and class. This song was listed as one of Iceland’s musical scandals because of the aggressively lesbian imagery. I found out about this band and video because of my recent reading of the Icelandic magazine Séð og Heyrt and this post on I Love Icelandic Music. SOUNDTRACK: ELEKTRA-“I Don’t Do Boys” (2009).
