BEAUTY: Man--Stephan Stephensen, a.k.a President Bongo

Regular readers know that I have quite a thing for Stephan Stephensen, the Icelandic musician who is one of the core members of Gus Gus. Also known as President Bongo, or sometimes President Penis (I could get used to calling him that), his newest musical project is Gluteus Maximus, a remix/DJ/band with fellow DJ Margeir. Here they are strutting their stuff... and the President has so much to strut. They bill themselves as "the big guns. An arsenal of rotating musical mass." I mean, really, for crying out loud, this man's sheer beauty is gonna kill me someday...

Here is their original song "Everlasting" featuring mellifluous vocals by fellow Icelander Högni Egilsson.

BEAUTY: Man--Stephan Stephensen

*Sigh* I have such a crush on Stephan Stephensen, one of the core members of the Icelandic music and art collective Gus Gus. He's had long hair, short hair, beards, 'staches... he looks gorgeous and so sexy no matter what.

I love this shot of him coming out of a sauna with bandmates...

DJing... woof...

And with long hair. *sigh*

..."Starlovers" by the fabulous Gus Gus from the even more fabulous Iceland.
I've always loved this song and take it very seriously. Its cosmic message is transcendent.
But the video is pretty tongue-in-cheek... yet at the same time, I can assign it the same weight as the song.

I am in love with god
I am in love with stars
I am in love with something
Coming close from far

You are in love with god
You are in love with stars
You are in love with something
That will tell you who you are

They need love
They need god
They need guidance from above

You are in love with god
You are in love with stars
You are in love with something
That will tell you who you are

Love, god
Love, god and affection
You know exactly what it means
Still you are only in your teens

They need love
They need god
They need guidance from above

Get together

...a Gus Gus spree!

The silky, sensuous, yet syncopated "Desire" with Daniel Agust's warm, velvety vocals.

"Moss" with a hint of old-school house music, and sweet visuals.

The melancholy dance sound of "Add This Song" and the accompanying wonderful, unsettling retro hospital video featuring the über-sexy Stephan Stephensen (a.k.a. President Bongo, Alfred More, or President Penis) as the doctor.

"Add this song to your heart
Let it beat in your chest real hard"
