It's time for me to finally write something about the band that has left a great musical impression of the first half of 2008. No it's not MGMT this time, it is The Teenagers.
They first started as a joke, but attracted more and more serious attention. But what a jolke it still is - in a good sense! How I love the self-aware, ironic and humourous lyrics that the The Teenagers keep coming up with! The songs on their debut album Reality Check (2008) are not only funny, their indie-synth-pop music is danceable too. You all probably heard "Starlett Johansson", "Homecoming", "Love No" and maybe even "Make It Happen". On top of that, they have done some great remixes, my favourite being the remix of the Simian Mobile Disco song "It's The Beat". However my favourite right now is another song, totally amusing of course, from the album:
The Teenagers - Sunset Beach

nachdem ich heute auch endlich mal wieder nen blog eintrag zustande gekriegt hab, sehe ich einen genialen teenagers-post mit einem sehr nützlichen satz. endlich wissen wir, was wir sagen müssen, um einen unliebsamen (potentiellen Übernachtungs-) Gast loszuwerden. "Do you want to take a shower before you leave?" - ich hoffe, dass mir im richtigen Moment nicht die Worte fehlen werden.
Und kuck dir mal das Foto von meinem Post an. Lecker. Außerdem musst du meine Kritik kritisieren. Wenn du dann mal wach bist.
