This has gotten passed around a bit over the last few months, so forgive me if you’ve seen it already. It’s the incredible animated video for “Remind Me,” a 2002 track by Röyksopp, the brilliant electronic duo from Norway. In the past year I’ve listened to Röyksopp’s The Understanding more than any other album. They’re kind of like Air except more electronic and dancey—and not quite so French. They’re also a bit Boards of Canada-ish at times.

The guest singer on this track is Erlend Øye, one half of another great Norwegian group, the folk-pop duo Kings of Convenience. Do you like good music? Of course you do! So go buy the 2001 debut album by Kings of Convenience, Quiet Is the New Loud. It’s perfect.

Thanks to something Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes created, the October issue of Vanity Fair has gotten a little bit of attention. The issue also contains something I created: a fake cover flap you can cut out and attach to a newsstand copy of The Weekly Standard. It’s on page 272, in the Vanities section. More details are here.
