We (predictably) heart dancing robots

So, there's this little dancing robot called Keepon, who looks like an overweight Peep and dances like, well, a machine (the dancin' kind, not the literal kind). There's also a band called Spoon, who we just saw rock the crowds at Virgin Festival 2007. When the former was born in the NIST labs in Japan, they made a demo featuring a Spoon song. Now there's a semi-proper music video for Don't You Evah featuring the little dancing robot; be sure to watch till about 3:00 where there's a full on multi-bot hoedown. The video was put out by Wired as a teaser for their annual Nextfest, and the band and the bot are scheduled to reunite there. Check out the video; bathe in the cute overload.
