"Denmark is a city in Russia"; so far the latest comment in a fascinating multi-threaded debate on YouTube, spawned by the crazy, danceable, and highly addictive Alphabeat smash hit "Fascination". The debate weaves a nimble narrative around such difficult subjects as anti-americanism, racism, love, and hatred, as well as commercialization, and homophobia. In short, it tackles head-on the weltschmerz of a young disenchanted generation.
But enough with the academics. Go on. Listen to it. You know you want to. It's pop and, yes, I love it.
