Hey! I made this video many moons ago, thanks for the credit. The original video got to about 125K views if I remember, so it's awesome to see it's had another 350K views since! Big up for keeping it alive.
So, the irony here is that Natalie Portman does genuinely like Aphex Twin. I was at an ATP night at SEone club (RIP) in 2005, with Surgeon+Regis, Mark Stewart +the Maffia, and Aphex headlining. And there's Natalie Portman, w shaved head, dancing her ass off. This was around the time of filming of V for Vendetta which is presumably why she was in London.
if only it were a thing that women are the ones commonly introducing men to music, let alone sick stuff like aphex. sry to the few awesome women who are like that and actually exist.
@@thejoe9065 This would happen more often if women weren’t shamed constantly for their music taste. Either a woman will be criticized because her music taste is too “basic” if she likes mainstream music, or if she likes more alternative music she’ll be labelled a poser or a tryhard.
ZIGGOMATIC 17 is my favorite piece of music, of all time. I could write essays about it. It makes me so happy to see other people who also see the beauty of this piece.
"Hey, dispropotionately attractive mentally unstable manic pixie dream girl with completely inappropriate sense of boundaries, do you like [niche indie band]? I also like [niche indie band]! Wow, we're in love"
OH MY GOD I thought the title was "Natalie Portman *LOOKS* like Aphex Twin" and the whole time I was bracing myself for a jump scare when her face morphed into Richard James lmaooo
Fun AFX edit :) Not that anyone cares but I used to live near miss Portman (likely while she still lived w family) & saw her a few times @ the local starbucks
i had to take a flight last week and downloaded drukqs to keep me busy i ended up listening to it 6 times in a row and now all that's playing in my mind is drukqs please help
it’s absolutely horrible in my opinion -doesn’t that guy lie in a bath fully clothed at some stage and vomit up some line like “i wish i could feel something (without drugs)”? something like that -it stuck with me and sums up the cringe that is garden state
If I remember it right, actually the song was New Slang by The Shins, which is just awesome - somewhat nostalgic, which also resonates with the theme and the characters of this gem of a movie. So, this video is edited; the original music replaced - you can in fact hear the beginning notes of the actual song for a sec before it gets overlapped. Wish the clarification was made in the video details.
I'm pretty sure it's: New Slang by The Shins - I'm sure Slag was a typo, although it would be a good entry for ruin a song title by changing one letter.. I agree Garden State is a lovely film with a great soundtrack.
