As you should know, the guitar riff of Do You Love It has been played live a few times in 2007. It premiered at Norway’s Quart Festival when Bo Madsen played it as an intro before The Zookeeper’s Boy. Damon Tutunjian was also there as a special guest star for Mew. Here is a little

This is a bit old news by now, but hardly discussed anywhere online… Director Martin de Thurah made three stunningly beautiful short films about the Danish way of life for World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China.
