Well, what better way to celebrate the impending end of 2006 and start of 2007 with an article obsessed with the number five.  


Pizzicato Five that is.


These Japanese funksters have been around for ages, and are still going strong (I think). 

Anyway, I think they are über-cool, and it's my site, so there!

Here are five videos, courtesy of YouTube:

1. 24 Decembre

Just to add to the general feel of incompetence, here's a late-ish Christmas-ish song(-ish).


2. Twiggy Twiggy

My favourite, if not yours.


3. Beautiful Day

Nice bit of retro in this vid



4. Baby Love child

This one well known to fans of Futurama



5. Mon Amour Tokyo



Retro-futuristic, genre hopping alien spy fun (probably)



Enjoy that? I did.
