Pitchfork: Robyn Postpones Two Shows to Play "The View"

Robyn Postpones Two Shows to Play "The View"

Barbara! Whoopi! Joy! Sherri! That Republican Lady from "Survivor"! Robyn!?

Yes ma'am. On Thursday, May 15, you and your morning coffee will be greeted by none other than the pop sensation as she joins the ladies of "The View" as the musical guest.

It's a quick follow-up to Robyn's sublime/surreal stint on "Letterman" last week, which presumably means this American invasion is going pretty well.

Alas, Robyn's time with "The View" has forced her to push planned dates in Portland on May 13 at Berbati's Pan and Seattle May 14 at Neumos back to August to accommodate the taping. That's a bummer, Pac NW, but think about it this way: there's another North American Robyn tour in the works, and it is definitely coming your way.

Somehow, Robyn also managed to find the time to craft a series of six short promotional videos with the help of the Blip Boutique. You saw the one where she does "Bum Like You" for a mess of Texans over in Forkcast yesterday and the album-art-themed clip for "Handle Me" today, but my personal fave is a parrot getting down to "Konichiwa Bitches":

How can we convince this person to sit our American pop stars down for a seminar in how to do this shit properly?
