Alt-rockers Spoon + tiny yellow dancing robot = a match made in YouTube heaven. The band (and throngs of YouTube viewers) so liked this video, of the little Keepon robot shimmying to the sounds of Spoon’s "I Turn My Camera On," that an official collaboration seemed inevitable. Enter Wired magazine senior editor (and EW alumna) Nancy Miller, who helped conceive the follow-up video below, featuring members of the band and the robot’s creator playing second-fiddle to wee Keepon, who fascinates all of Tokyo while dancing to Spoon’s "Don’t You Evah." (Directing the clip was Tribeca Film Fest sensation Jeff Nichols.)
If you’re in Los Angeles next month, you can watch a live reenactment of sorts at Wired’s NextFest, at which Spoon will perform, accompanied by four dancing Keepons. The magazine promises other opportunities to interact with the adorable yellow automatons at the fest as well. (Hat tip to Pitchfork, where this story is augmented with even more Spoonabilia.)

I found this video on Mental_Floss this morning, and I want a Keepon – Now! Daddy, buy me one!! I want!
1)This video just made my afternoon
and
2)Spoon is one of the best American bands creating music these days. Hands down.
What a great song….love the video. I am about to make one with two tennis balls….be right back!
I guess if there’s one apocalypse scenario I’d want to live through, it’d be robots. Especially if they’re that friggin’ cute.
It’s a great album too, well worth picking up, I guarantee you’ll listen to track 7, ‘The Underdog’ over and over again.
Not only is this my favorite song off “Ga5x,” I love this video, which is not always the case with Spoon videos…
