Remember when I was inventing conspiracy theories around this picture?

Well it’s still a bit of a mystery isn’t it? because we didn’t see this bit.

I think that when this was happening we were looking at this instead:

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I’m not grateful for the lovely clear sound and vision in this recording. It’s wonderful to have it at last.

It’s just that it did seem that we got quite a bit of this:

and, you know, this:

During Klámstrákur of all things!

Oh I’m sure it’s artful an’ all, and I don’t like to complain, it’s just that I was rather hoping to finally get to see it clearly and up reasonably close, because I want to see expressions and details and -- you know -- the choreo because it’s part of the art and storytelling

But, when I watched through it again this afternoon, it kind of seemed a bit choppy and hard to follow, and there were all these bits missing because we’d be looking randomly at boots or the back of someone’s head.

And then there’s the slightly odd fact that they chopped out heaps of choreo, but left in Klemens’s slight wardrobe malfunction, and Matthías chucking his wardrobe into a corner ...

I’m guessing that the lovely and talented people of KEXP don’t usually have to deal with full-blown performance art? Or perhaps we’ve been horribly spoiled?
