Sunday treat: gratuitous Kaizers Orchestra

tilly_stratfordThis always happens.
In my day-to-day life, Kaizers Orchestra is just a band I like. They're one of many bands I enjoy, I listen to the albums now and again, wear the T-shirt occasionally. Then I attend a concert and spend an hour and a half with my arms in the air and a huge grin on my face shouting "Halleluja!" each time The Jackal tells me to. And then I always spend a couple of weeks being all KAIZER KAIZER KAIZER after.
Thus the Sunday treat will be slightly affected by this.

ATTENTION TINY, WE HAVE EXCEEDINGLY AWKWARD GEIR DANCING AT 02:37 AND ONWARD. (Man, 2003 was a long time ago. Lion King was playing bass and Terje was a slightly chubby ginger.)
And from Månefestivalen (I usually hate shaky camera phone, but it's different when I can go EEE I WAS THERE):

I never noticed Geir doing his fab little pose there at 0:26, did you Tiny?
Also, THEY HAVE PULLED DOWN MY FAVOURITE KAIZER VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. They have pulled down the good 'Mann mot mann' performance that is the sexiest, slashiest Kaizer video ever. That video where Janove complains about having a sore arm after that thing he was doing in Geir's room the other night? NOT AS SLASHY AS THAT 'MANN MOT MANN' PERFORMANCE.
So in mild protest against Viacom harshing my squee I'll post slashy pics.
Why if it isn't my computer background!
Old school trouser peeks, how we miss thee.
UR OPRESSIN MAI JANNO/TERJE SHIP
Not actually slashy, just YAY AWESOME AUTHOR and the fact that Janno's "and I'll tell you another interesting thing" expression continues to crack me up.
Including pic just foroh no you di'int WTFactor:
I don't know. FROSTED TIPS WHAT.
No, no wait. I can do better WTF pics than that.
THIS IS HOW YOU DO WTF:
Aaand now I'll stop because my Kaizer folder holds 366 image files and I'm posting all this for an audience of... two.
RPS: Still not something I'm entirely comfortable with, but I'll be damned if that's going to stop me having fun.

Anyway, what an awesome, funky, folky rock sound. I like it.

But they're obviously mostly influenced by folk, yes, especially balkan folk.

It will be interesting to see if this leads me further astray--I've never been down on rps writers, but I've just never ventured there.
