Although Not November 1st, (Dia de los Muertos, you gringos) Commemorate with Dancing Skeletons!!

We open the festivities with a little video by Miho Hatori, the singing half of disbanded Alt-something group Cibo Matto. This is her single, Barracuda, off her solo album, Ecdysis. Brilliant album and album title. See below for definition, courtesy of Merriam-Webster online. I love you.



Main Entry: ec·dy·sis
Pronunciation: \ˈek-də-səs\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural ec·dy·ses
Etymology: New Latin, from Greek ekdysis act of getting out, from ekdyein to strip, from ex- + dyein to enter, don
Date: circa 1854

: the act of molting or shedding an outer cuticular layer

HOW COOL IS THAT? Skeletons and arthropodic shedding! My life is complete. No, too bold. My life has been handed the hall pass so that I can take a piss and wander the halls for a few sweet minutes.

More skeletones later, cajones.
