Chairlift – Planet Health

video by Caroline Polachek
from album ‘Does You Inspire You’
2008 Kanine Records

“Like the plot to a lost dystopian sci-fi, the song outlines life on “Planet Health” — a place where body-image has become a tyrannical philosophy. Here, advice on healthy diet and sexuality has become law and the food pyramid has become a church. Of course non-attendance means eviction from Planet Health.

Planet Health is Mount Olympus sans the fun; a place where David Cameron and Gillian McKeith make out into eternity, never aging, never putting on weight. It’s the other side of Radiohead’s ‘Fitter Happier’, where the new caring conservatives have slapped lippy on the pig on antibiotics and called it ‘sexy’. “
