Thieves By Tuesday*

I think I'm falling in love with Sweden even more. Lemme see, the country exports indie acts with lasting talent like Robyn, The Hives, Lykke Li, The Cardigans, The Sounds... the list goes on. Now add Teddybears Stockholm to that. Save for the menagerie of genre's they mix like pop, rock, hip-hop, electronica, reggae, punk to name a few. These guys created their music around the year I was born and they sure made some great music.

The first time I've heard of these guys was in their Cobrastyle video. I'm totally down with the rhythm and the dig digi bombi-ness of it all, but those bear heads creep me. I mean, seriously. I have a thing against clowns as well, so this isn't anything unusual. If you need to be reminded of that wild video, I posted it below.

Teddybears Stockholm's Yours To Keep is the bees' knees. There, I said it. I don't want to force the track on you, but don't prejudge the bear heads. Though it does add personality, nothing beats the good vocals from Paola and the right groove set by the trio.

I'm pretty much down lately, with all the school work, and "family feuds", and I have been hitting the meds pretty hard to get rid of it. Sucks being busy and stuff and I just hate being sick (who does?).

This remix, from Bloody Beetroots of Robyn's cover of the Teddybears track, makes me get that warming feeling, like when you drink a little more than the usual dose of any of the "-quil"'s.  It just builds and builds and builds, and you want the climax to happen and bang and such, but it just mellows, like syrup or cold medicine.  Which, on a day that requires an extraordinary amount of relaxing, is completely appreciated.
