Bjork, ever the maverick, is back with her latest video for the single ‘Wanderlust’ from her sixth studio album Volta.
The stunningly hypnotic video directed by a Manhattan based art collective - Encyclopedia Pictura, complements the music perfectly, and sometimes even eclipses it.
I highly recommended watching a much higher quality version of the video [...]

Watch Danish band Inflastikas play a cover of Abba hit Mamma Mia by using only beer bottles. While they do seem to be a bit off-key, we have to give them full marks for effort. Unfortunately, the song still remains as irritating as the original.
