gene krupa meets portishead.We've had a love-hate relationship with Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson for what seems like an eternity. Together, the enigmatic pair form Sweden's Koop, an outfit that stumbled onto the scene in the late nineties with music that was reminiscent of every known genre, and yet completely different and fresh -- think Gene Krupa meets Portishead -- prompting much rubbernecking among fusion bigwigs like Jazzanova and Kruder & Dorfmeister. Their 2002 album Waltz For Koop had us all hopped up on its sweeping orchestral sounds (made, by the way, entirely out of samples), set to quiet jazz vocals. And just when we'd finished telling everyone how much we loved Koop, they promptly dropped off the face of the earth (save for a remix here and there). The follow up, Koop Island, was released in the U.S. yesterday. What does it sound like? Glenn Miller-era swing, Yma Sumac-like jungle drums, choirs, marimbas, calypso beats...Best to hear it for yourself, starting with the lovely Ane Brun-fronted Koop Island Blues.

Tilda Swinton's Into The Triad Thing
I've heard of these. I even sorta know some people who have done it before. Basically, it's like you take the threesome out of bed and into life with you. I think things can get all sorts of dicey, but that's just me. Cinematic goddess Tilda Swinton is having her cake and eating it too. Hell, this diva is licking the bowl! Tilda, 47, lives with 67 year old artist lover Robert Byrne. They have a pair of twins together.
But then she went and did that Narnia flick and brought home a centaur, artist Sandro Koop, 29. And her first guy doesn't seem too pissed about it. Apparently Sandro Centaur's allowed in their house and there is all sorts of bohemian love sex going on. They even go shopping together. The children must be confused. Byrne's open about it to the papers, but gets pissed when you ask him who sleeps where. "It's nobody's business. It's our business. It's nobody in the world's business," he says. Oh, he's got the spare room, definitely.
Anyway, Tilda's been showing off the new guy at award ceremonies lately. And she might get an Oscar nod for her role in "Michael Clayton", so we might see some triad action on the red carpet. Tilda Swinton can do no wrong. You could tell me she's harvesting ivory from elephants and stringing it on a necklace along with the neck bones of homeless children and I'd still be like "well, how does it look?"
