Björk - "Synchronicity". There's a lighter side to this vocal exploration that Björk's doing lately. This is a little 1:12 impromptu [vaguely schaffel-esque] tune that was put together by Björk and Icelandic engineer Valgeir Sigurdsson, presumably from material that was initially recorded during October/November of 2003 by Matmos, self-proclaimed "cut-up artists" [get it?].

If not, here's the joke. The tune was written for inclusion in a video documentary about the skateboarding team Hot Chocolate's month-long tour. Directed by Spike Jonze and Ty Evans, the video includes interviews, skits, and some rad skateboarding.
