The Teenagers

If there's one hyped band out there at the moment which seems capable of living up to all of the gushing internet wittering, it's The Teenagers. You've probably all heard their beautiful, haunting Grease-like "Homecoming", but here it is again just in case.

The Teenagers - "Homecoming"

They're also very adept remixers. My favourite is their reworking of Simian Mobile Disco's inane-Technotronic pastische, "It's the Beat", which turns a piece of plodding disco fodder for gurning fashionistas into something truly amazing, all minor key church organs. A depressing dirge in an entirely good way, if that's possible.

I've been loving the Teenagers for awhile now, and I am really looking forward to them releasing stuff proper, as up until now it's been mostly bits and pieces. I agree with you on the SMD remix, it's not totally to my taste, while the Teens mixes are top notch.
There are a couple of Teenagers tracks you may wanna check on my blo g at wewererockstars.blogspot.com.

I just got a data plan on my mobile. I pretty much do not need my computer anymore since I do so much with my mobile phone. The neatest thing is that I can even watch naughty movies:) It is pretty neat, it's called Mobile TV. All I do is point my phone to sexoncell.com and they have adult mobile movies in different formats like 3gp movies, symbian, pda or whatever. If you have any other cool sites, please let me know! This one, though, even has a free daily mobile movie.
