The PK 27--Track 3.14159265

Since skippy the TAKAlisciouS thought it acceptable to leave you all without a Youtube wonder, allow me to gratify you visually:

That, Meine Damen und Herren was the joyful and eclectic Polysics who solicited the 11 year old "anime dancer" Strong Machine 2 to perform her magic in their video. There was actually an original video with multiple dancers, but in an effort to outdo the North Koreans in their somewhat-more-than-just-a-tad-bit-off fascination with the acrobatics, contortions and JUST FREAK-ASS WEIRDNESS of pre-pubescent performance artists, they ended up trashing that one, in favor of this Strong Machine 2 masterpiece.

(Admit it. It's kinda cool. Zooperkool, even.)

Now, in case you think there is any trick photography involved, or that Polysics's music is, er, computer generated by a team of monkeys at the boards and hamsters at the wheels (of steel?), here is a live version with spesshuul ges-teuh: Strong Machine 2!

Tell me it ain't past that kid's bed time, and, actually, I'll believe you because North Asian parents bring their kids to the club.

All you really need to know about Polysics is that their greatest influence is Devo (can just make it out, cantcha?), a respect that is sardonically returned by the members of Devo themselves: Mark Mothersbaugh used a Polysics CD for his office phone system, forcing the people on hold to endure the tracks being played.

Love that recorder.

And that's what I needed to say in New York City, exactly six years after the Twin Towers burned.
