The Teddybears are one of those typical music industry phenomenons. Plugging away at it for years (approximately 15 of them in fact), and then *BOOM* all of a sudden the hype building on them is everywhere. Or at the very least, it's all over the innaweb. Their album - Soft Machine - which is essentially a re-working of an amalgamation of a load of their existing tunes, features guest vocalists abound such as Neneh Cherry, Iggy Pop, Mad Cobra, Elephant Man and Ebbot Lundberg (Soundtrack Of Our Lives) all making appearances. The other shit you need to know? - They're Swedish, (which means) they deliver mad pop tunes bubbling over with a mixture of electronics, rock, and disco.
- They're mates with Annie AND Robyn (in fact their mad tune Cobrastyle gets a spot on work out from Robyn below. Respect).
- All their press shots feature the guys dressed as crazy ass rock n roll bears.
- They've got a wikipedia entry ( I badly want my own wikipedia entry).
- You can buy the album via their website, but in the meantime download this little gift here.
So Mishmillionaire's been gagging for the A-Trak "remember where you lost it" style re-cap. Sometimes images speak far louder than words - so check out the video action I snapped at The Basement in Sydney last Friday and just remember these words: youtube is your friend.
Solid night out. TOP tunes. Movembers in abundance. Clearly above average mixing. Good up for it, few mingers, there to party type crowd and cheap beers (read: someone else was buying). Almost a small incident involving an associate wanting to punch someone out in the queue - but I made it clear we weren't getting banned from these seemingly regular-of-late shindigs just so that he could get his kangaroo gloves on. Bless. (Just a note: The other guy really did deserve a K-O though).
So Mish has beat me to a couple of posts this week - Kid Sister & Ronson. Ronson cause I've been considering stealing her thunder on the topic after all that T.A.L.K (like any good friend would) and Kid Sister, totally by surprise. But I shoulda known, cos she's generally all over this shit! *touches nose knowingly*
So, cos I ain't going out like that, I've found an old school tune. A tune that always makes me wanna make like in this photo. Yes it's THAT good. (Well I think so anyway).
It's Neneh Cherry in her hey-hey day. I think this is by far the best tune off her Raw Like Sushi Album. The lyric's are what I imagine those old skool Brooklyn style vids in the darkest depths of summer are repesentin. You know the first flushes of young love, a boy taking advantage of a girl that doesn't know any better... yet. Water pumping, red fire hydrons, Robert De Niro, ice cream (in a cone, not a baskin robbins style bucket) and kelis' milkshake bringing all the boys to the yard. You know where I'm at yeah? Download 'outre-risque-locomotive' here. (get busy on z-share, cos we're counting how many peeps are downloading this stuff).
