nice to know that Style and the family tunes is still out there

i used to read this mag all the time back in the day. now they are renamed to the stylemag and they had a lil some on our upcoming mini-tour for YUM YUM. This is a link to that very article.

Tackling it from a critical rationalists point of view i wouldn’t even consider renaming something abstract-labeled like YUM YUM into another linearly translated and meaning-bound descriptive prosumerist word like Mjam Mjam.— ps. just messing with yall. thx for the note fellas.

their original name derrives of course from sly stone and i had to think about him every time i picked up their mag in the mid-nineties. glad to see they made it into this “series of tubes” in one piece. here is to style and sly…

I am your puppet

Today we are posting quite a lot of YUM YUM favourites. Another one for the soul steppers. Nice cover versions and al right even if Sam Jackson cant sing a bit, but John Legend backs him up efficently. I guess i just love the original too much for me to not fall for the cover versions.

Raphael Saadiq – Bonus track

This ones called Kelly Ray and sticks to that 60ies sounding new formula thats incorporated into his entire new album. Lovely tune and Mr Saadiq really needs to make a leap over the ocean. There are countless people here who are waiting to catch him playing live. Too bad his music is still very poorly distributed in Central europe, and music company dorks are still telling me there is no market for that music, “its only a niche”. Well thats funny – whenever i play it in front of up to a 1000 heads – there are smiles on all the faces and people are singing the tunes they can’t possibly know or get anywhere. Come on this is prime time material – that has mainstream radio written all over it, and compared to the other radio music this is quality music with talent to back it up.
