What's that? Robot companions and multiple dancing Robyns in the latest Röyksopp joint? We're there, dude. Oh, it gets better... somewhere in the 1:49 range the gadgetry gets ill when the flaxen-haired songstress whips out a Nokia N97 to text her robotic compatriots about the dance party happening up in her room. Yeah, an N97. It also makes a curtain-call appearance in the 2:48 realm, right before the blingee pregnancy test announces that Robyn is not, in fact, with child. Full, eye-opening video after the break.

The phone was the sexiest thing in the video. I'm afraid it might be a dissapointment like the Sony X1 though :(
Royksopp sold out :(
Had this flash of a memory when I saw that image on the phone - anyone here know who Ultraman is?
Me too. U beat me to it.
Kind of a crappy video. This is my favorite song off the new Röyksopp album, and I took "in love with a robot," as a metaphor for Robyn only being able to communicate with her flesh-and-blood love through electronic communication (phone, text, picture message, etc.) since he is always at work, so, in essence, she was only felt in love with the electronic version of him.
This video, though, takes the phrase literally, and is therefore kinda creepy. Who has sex with a robot hoping to get pregnant (outside of the BSG universe)? Makes her seem kinda nutzo.
totally agree with your philosophy on that there!!!!
Seeding not complete, apparently...
hahaha
i forgot all about my preorder for this thing! im in for a pleasant surprise come july :)
i forgot all about my preorder for this thing! no seriously, the glitch price as so low my tax return covered it as easy as a drunk paris hilton stuck in a night club with a tripod and 23 body builders. can't wait till it gets shipped :)
i saw this video a few days ago.
love both robyn and royksopp but this vid is a bit...meh.
first post poster :)
Whoaaaa! I saw this video two days ago, too.
But I agree, what's up with this video? Someone told me it was something to do with fertilizing a woman? Not really sure, but I do know I'm not into that.
So, I just watched it all the way through. Apparently my friend was right about the baby shitting to be.
Damn.
Really disappointed in Royksopp, they usually make the best music videos. Still my favorite song on the album though.
Anybody remember Poor Leno? Oh man. that was the best. cute little thing, riveting scenery, pretty emotive.
bore

What's this Eurotrash disco crap.
It's too good for your AmericanTrash ears. Hiphop is crap.
@G. I.: +5 rep
Downrank me, I meant +5 to Andrew, not G.I.. Oops.
My bad, I meant +5 to Andrew, not G.I.. I would post as reply, but the double post preventer is catching it. Downrank my old post.
@ G. I. : 'What's this Eurotrash disco crap.'
Oh mighty Godlike American(?) superhuman - is that a question or a blatant display of ignorance?
