The Bondage Fairies

For people who’ve had a peak in my music library, it might not come as a surprise that I’m fascinated by weird band and song names. The latter as evidenced in my last post featuring the Lonely Island song Jizz In My Pants. While I could write an entirely new post on songs I love by the Lonely Island, I think I’ll stay away from them this time, and rather talk about a band I discovered while living in England:
The Bondage Fairies.
They are weird, they are Swedish, and I’ve heard them described as Nintendo Death Punk, and they are weird. Did I mention that they’re weird?
They share name with a Hentai, but they have strangely few songs touching on the subject of sex. They do have a song about He-Man, though.
Their new album is a bit more serious than the previous one, but it’s still got that fun nintendo-ish tune that makes me happy. And, hey, it’s got song titles like I Eat Children. Who wouldn’t want to check it out?

Speaking of cool nerdy bands, I got a chance to interview the Norwegian band Datarock a few weeks ago. Do you know them?

I loved it the instant I saw it on flickr! And I think it kinda fit the post, and the post looked a bit dull without it.
You interviewed Datarock? They’re AWESOME! They have a song constantly on the radio here in Norway now (Give It Up), and it’s funky! Because of them my boss constantly catch me dancing around my office :p
