I'm hooked on the Movitz! roadtrip videos, I confess

No laptops or beer?! I give them points for Bear Dancing (whatever-the-eff-that-is), though.

Also, Gillis's inexplicable puns, called Gothenburgers? You were expecting these? What what?

it's odd, because there is always beer; it's like a member of the band

For the last tour, Gillis would offer a terrible joke and everyone would fall out laughing as if it were really funny. To make it even more incomprehensible, they were often puns, which make no sense if you don't speka da Swedish. The first tour is at www.firstwetakemanhattan.se, but I can't recomend it for the Gothenburgerness. Still fun, though

Hmmm... were I a Viking maiden, it might cross my mind that bear dancers may be more interested in other bear dancers.

The lack of beer is odd, for many reasons. Seems like it would be a natural accompaniment to bear dancing, or a possible cause of it?

Lovely. Even w/o TMBG-ness.

I was looking for another shot of a Linnellian vintage Polaroid camera - I think Magnus owns it? Not sure, but it's in a previous video and I immediately thought of JL.

Aw, Anders is awful cute, even w/o his bun. How do you keep all those guys straight? And how many are actually in the band MOVITS!? Also, is it a requirement, this bear-dancing thing?

Hmmm... I wonder what venue they'll play in Atlanta? Says The Earl. Never heard of it. But if they can play Moe's Bowling Alley, the Earl should be good.

PS - love them trying to figure out the redbud tree.

Emissaries from Planet Sweden

Yes, this is most unusual, a tree with flowers. Yes, very much like the plants on our planet, don't you think?

But seriously, I like men who can appreciate Teh Nature and not feel like they're being gay n stuff. Plus, I think it's okay because it's exactly what I do when I go somewhere new - get all excited by the local rocks, trees, & beasties. Do you know now many photos we took of prairie dogs when we drove through CO and WY? You'd have thought we'd never seen one. I think it's part of the fun, the exoticness of other places and what lives there. Gawd, I shudder to think what they must think of the US if they are getting sex from the gals who show up to concerts = what a weird slice of Americana.

I've heard of the North Mississippi All Stars, but then, I guess, I'm from north Mississippi.

People who might recognize a song by the All Stars

Well, there's you, me, the actual guys in the band, their mothers. ;-)
