The Sugarcubes - Birthday Video
Phew, it still makes me go weak at the knees after all these years. Quite possibly one of the finest moments of Icelandic indie pop ever, and one of the first Indie bands I got into. The Sugarcubes' Birthday is one of those magic tracks that just sticks with you. I've never really cared for Bjork since she went solo and mainstream, but for a year or two at the end of the 80s she was one of my bedroom wall poster queens.
There are a couple of videos for this track. A quirky band one shot in Iceland and this which I'm guessing is from an American release as the end credit has it for the Elektra label rather than the UK's One Little Indian label. It's quite dull, but shows the band live and is dreamy like the track. If you'd like to see the other version, it's here but the sounds not as good. /Me sighs wistfully...
