I had to try. Some old NASA footage and a couple of hours with final cut made a nice unofficial video for Evolution. By the way - we are accually shooting a real video at the moment. It involves some dancing, some corny "stockholm-by-night-shots", a preppy thief and a very talented film maker. Be finished soon. added in music april 1st

I woke up Sunday morning with a beautiful hangover and very weird memories. I remember smoke, a lot of smoke and a green techno laser, my pocket was full of free drink-tickets. After a few phone calls I located our gear, apparently it was left behind at the venue. A typical Mata de Leon decision of the night. It was a great night, a lot of improvisation, but everything turned out quite marvellous after all. We played a cover of the Trentemoller remix of the Royksopp song "What Else Is There" and I think we nailed it, from what I heard. Though I have to excuse myself for the somewhat questionable vocal preformance, let's blame the booze and the sound-guy:) I hope you all had a great night, 'cause we sure did. In a few days a new song will be released online so come back soon and listen! Cher! Oskar added in misc dec 3rd
