Commercial watch: Teddybears
So Teddybears is another group that I've heard a lot about, but I haven't actually listened to .. well, except if you count hearing this song in a Cadillac commercial. Thing is, although I kind of registered the presence of Iggy Pop, I didn't even realize this was a real song. I thought it was just some sort of jingle (one that didn't make too much sense, because Cadillac and Iggy? Really?) Today, though, preparing the listings for tomorrow's paper, I went to Teddybears' site , 'cause they're playing Hiro Ballroom on Thursday and Studio B on Friday.
This video is streaming on their site, and I realized that I quite like this song. I always kind of absentmindedly tapped my foot along to the commercial, while doing whatever it is I'm doing to distract myself from commercials (usually a crossword puzzle). Now I'm dying to hear the whole album, but my desk is a crazy mess, and I just don't have the energy to sift through 100 CDs right now to find it. So I'll keep you posted.
