The Song Fight Bulletin Board

When I was in Prague a couple of weeks ago, I was bombarded with this music video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdtLCfEcPL4) and now I can't get enough of the song.

So, my European friends....is this music I should be detesting or embracing? Is Peter Fox regarded as cool or lame? (I like the song regardless--just curious about perception where the song is targeted.)

I kind of like it. It has a good rhythm and beat that you can dance to. It's always cool to hear what the rest of the world is listening to. Thanks Frank.

Hip or no, I cannot stop listening to this.

ha, thats an awesome video.

Das ist gut, c'est fantastique


Here is a bit more of his gear

Peter Fox/Seeed coverfight anyone?

(nice find Frankie!)

I don't understand a word and yet I can not get enough of this. The drum team is great!

Edit-- also some of the "related videos" are (unintentionally) hilarious.

I'm glad my wife and I aren't the only ones hooked on this song. I've already made my Pop Music class listen to it twice!

Thanks for the Seeed video, CR. I love how he's so unapologetically German, yet embraces all that is disgusting (and fun?) about America (money, synchronized dancing, drumlines).

Check out this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB5hlBaY_1o&NR=1 Claymation!

The second single from the album, "Haus am See" is out:

Not quite as catchy as Alles Neu, but a laid back groove that is growing on me.

I looked into buying the album:

http://www.amazon.com/Stadtaffe-Peter-F ... 001ET225M/
http://www.amazon.de/Stadtaffe-Peter-Fox/dp/B001ET225M/

amazon.com: $48
amazon.de: 10 euros

Bah.

Yeah, definitely not as riveting as Alles Neu, but I'll give it a few more listens.

Yikes, that Amazon price is crazy!

I too have had this import price problem; when the album's out try Amazon MP3, two of my Subsonics and one of my Caparezza albums was available much cheaper that way (Italian music).
Every time I see the thread title I think of the comic "Foxtrot" since that's one of the character names.

I recently came back to this album, and two of the other tracks are just as catchy.

Stadtaffe

Sadly no official videos, though.
