With "Dream On," Swedish producer/composer Christian Falk sets a nighttime backdrop for Swedish Robyn to do her thing, singing about pimps, punks, lifers, and snitchers. Now it's time to do the math.

While we're airing the dirty laundry/our compulsions, we semi-obsessively check in at Robyn's MySpace because she's, ya know, awesome, and learned today that the next single (compliments of Robyn's UK release cycle) is "Who's That Girl," her collab with the Knife, due April '08. What this means for you, person that's had the album for three years, is three new remixes (by Seamus Haji, Rex The Dog, and Drop The Lime) and a new, Diane Martel (of White Stripes and Beyoncé fame)-directed video. At this point "Who's That Girl" is one of the few LP tracks that doesn't already have a video (or two), so we are excited. That is all.

Meet the only thing more irresistible than Snoop with a talk box: Snoop with a talk box with a Robyn. It's a fairly sweet Fyre Department remix of Dogg's pimptastic Zapp & Roger turn, with Robyn adding some new logs to the fire. We only wish that pic came from an actual photo shoot, and further only wish we were invited to said photo shoo. Anyway, one week 'til Highline. Yes.

The mthrfckers at Ocelot offer up a super-fine dance remix of Robyn's "Be Mine!" and set it to footage from Action Figure, adding to the growing list of the tune's videos. While the original was moving -- what with the Robyn meltdown and the shaving of the head head in the mirror (pre-Britney, mind) -- this one's just hilarious ... especially when the approaching boxing gloves start making contact ... and especially when the folks getting hit are either smiling, wearing glasses, or ample-faced just seconds before contact. Does that make us bad people? Actually don't answer. Instead, get psyched: Robyn is coming! And Stereogum sort of collectively bought way too many tickets out of sheer excitement. It'd be smart if you did, too. (Go, we mean; getting too many tix was actually pretty dumb.) (via P4K)
