i can't believe you've never listened to cibo matto before. viva la woman was named by rolling stone as one of the ten best hip-hop albums of all time, or something like that.
the gimic is that every song on that album is about food.
still, i happen to enjoy stereo type a much more than viva la woman. i have both.
and there are two oriental women singing in cibo matto. if you watch the michel gondry dvd, their video for sugar water is on there.
i'm not entirely sure, but i think that's the song they played when they were featured on buffy the vampire slayer.
that episode just bugged me. i think it was season 2, maybe season 1, but i think it was 2. all day in school xander was going on and on "cibo matto is going to be at the bronze tonight!" this was the first in a long line of WB primetime dramas to feature a popular band as themselves for seemingly no reason. my favorite was the episode of charmed where dishwalla played at the club and their manager sold the band to satan in exchange for record sales or something. my most hated was the episode of buffy where bif naked played a frat party for no reason whatsoever. its like, here's buffy and riley, here's bif naked jumping and singing, here's willow and oz, here's a close-up on the bass drum with the bif naked logo, ok, let's go back outside and be angsty while we fight demons and not ever discuss bif naked ever.

but yeah, the cibo matto appearance was odd but good. they played the bronze, a slow dance song so i'm almost positive it was sugar water, buffy danced with xander and he got all hot and bothered and then she humilated him or something and killed some vampires and cibo matto played music like a good band.


today is mal's birthday. good for him.

of those songs, i think i feel bachelorette the most. although i might reccomend Play Dead over that. even if my fave björk song is the anchor song. i love that song so.
