Midday Music Fix
Fukushima Dolphin – Bizarre Love Triangle

Posted on by

This rendition of the New Order song Bizarre Love Triangle is performed by Fukushima Dolphin – a duo based in Brighton Beach, England. Seamas Anstruther alerted us to this video. Seamas tells us he happened to be walking along the Brighton boardwalk when this video was shot in March 2022 – and regrets not stopping to enjoy the music. His most vivid memory was of the man who can be seen dancing on the right side of the frame. When we asked whether he had noticed the woman dancing to the man’s right, he indicates he did not. Seamas further informs us that he subsequently transferred 10 quid to Josh Butler via the bands PayPal account.

Europeans are right to gloat they are not under the rule of Trump. But for all of Trump’s ills, I see him as a sign of the underlying dynamism of the US. Who else would have elected so whimsical a leader to this high office? Trump forces questions that Europeans have no appetite to confront, proud as they are in being superior to both Americans and Chinese.
