This video contains a nearly dangerous amount of awesomeness: David Byrne and the Balanescu Quartet performing a string quartet-plus-theremin rendition of Kraftwerk's "The Model." →[More:] The Balanescu Quartet did an album in the early 90s that is mostly Kraftwerk covers (and is pretty awesome on its own) and that same album has a David Byrne cover on it. Apparently this clip is from a TV show around that time

How can something be nearly dangerous? If dangerous is defined as the presence of danger, something that's nearly dangerous contains no danger. If it did, then it wouldn't be "nearly" dangerous, it'd be dangerous. So what you said is that it's not dangerous at all.

I could be nearly dangerous if I had a theremin bra.

Best cover of 'The Model' since Big Black (incidentally, looking for that song on Youtube is not an experience I am eager to repeat).

Heh, box... I hope you weren't trying to search for that by album title.
