It’s pretty much a given that I will love any track The Teenagers sends out to its e-audience. If you haven’t checked out their tracks, you must, and you will.

I love parisian lyrics (when they’re in english) because they are brutally and perhaps unknowingly honest. Somewhere in the translation of french to english, something happens that strips the words of all ulterior meanings and kinda slice you right across the throat. That semi-gay-retard sounding (totally cool) parisian accent just adds to the honesty of the words.

Those of you who know me know that I NEVER listen to lyrics, but this is where I make my exception. That’s gotta be saying something.

Here’s a Poney Poney (awesome, stream junior 345394934 times on myspace please.) remix of the Teenagers - Love No. Just listen to the monologue!!!

The fact that the track itself is awesome is almost secondary this time.

big ups to the big ballers at redthreat for putting this one up!!
Teenagers - Love No (Poney Poney emotion remix)

The Teenagers are definitely veterans here. In case you were born yesterday, here’s a live mix they did in ‘06 for Pharrell of the FLUOKIDS on his radio show, “miam les fruits” with radio campus. It is tops.

    no, tufts profession is and always will be multi-tasking.
    Can you imagine what it would be like if he devoted himself 100% to being a super medical genius?

    He’d might be inventing giant billion dollar machines that supposedly cure cancer by shooting protons up people’s colons! What a nightmare that would be.
