The Yum Yums have ventured far from “Whatever Rhymes With
Baby”. Don’t let the title, “The Yum Yums play Good Music” fool you. This is
almost a punk pop opera concept. It may also be the most upbeat breakup album
of all time.
My first encounter with “Rhymes” as the Quattromobile hit them
Madrid city limits is as crystal clear now as it was then. It set me on a
certain course that when combined actually seeing them at El Sol was a
revelation. Ha ha, the first time I met Vibeke, she thought I was Tim Cross... but anyway.
Let’s get with the matters in hand. In addition to the
lyrical letting loose, the old bubblepunk bombast is intact and that bounces
the whole thing away from melancholy with good natured bile if there can be
such a thing. The closer of “Bye Bye Baby” however kind of sticks it in and
twists. Like a season finale cliff hanger as the long fade out suggests an AM
radio classic rock vibe that feels almost mature.
A recent event with regard to the fabric of the band makes me
sad but there is a plus, as a young lady in Spain recently pointed out is now
that there are two bands. Whilst I understand that positivism, the selfish part
of me rankles at the thought of not being able to repeat that life-changing
event of October 22nd 2009 but you know how it is.
CD available on House of Rock/Limited vinyl available from
Screaming Apple.

Gimme Söder!
My first gallivant of 2013 took place last week in the fine,
fine city of Stockholm. The first time since 2009 thanks to a committee of dear
friends that “made me an offer I couldn’t refuse”. It was a rip-roaring reprise
that reminded me exactly why I feel I could actually live there. I heard tell
of one or two things that seem to be eroding the “system” but it has a long way
to fall afore it hits the heady lows of this country. That’s the UK, god knows
what’ll happen when the Brigadoon Theme Park opens.
Hanging out with dear (old as in long time not ancient) friends was
largely the order of the day. Eating, a few sherbets, a Mr Ulf record-playing
session and some more sherbets was pretty much the short of it. I even did a
"tourist thing" with Qina by going to City Hall and had a fine pre-bonfire mutant
meatball dinner.
The Nomads show at Södra Teatern with Staffan Hellstrand was
pretty amazing. They made an album together called “Pascha Jim’s Dagbook” back
in 1996 and this was a live revisitation in a stunning setting. I’d never heard
it but this was an ideal introduction. The Stockholm Strings, Fredrick Blank
and Idde Schultz completed the line up. It was very Swedish but it really didn’t
matter that I couldn’t understand the lyrics. Like Säkert!, the music provides
a heart and soul that renders mere words pointless. Very anthemic and
almost too big for the room.
I posted a clip the other day so if you scroll down to below this and you can
find that and wish you’d been there. Hopefully they'll do it all again in spite of the lukewarm turnout. The people who were there left the theatre buzzing.
The night before I came home, we saw Impo and the Tents with
Crusaders of Love in The Cavern in the fine Southside Pub venue. I’d liked the
Impo things that Ferdi posted on facebook and while the noise they make is
agreeable, the guitar players hat and wife beater (that’s what they call a simmet
in rock circles) combo wasn’t happening. They need a stylist.
Them Crusaders however, from Lille in France, flew straight out of the traps.
The first 5 songs were as good a debut as I’ve seen in recent memory. Imagine a
glammed up Real Kids, these kids looked the part before they even took to the
stage. If they swing past anywhere near you then I heartily recommend you dig
in. The
show was promoted by Thomas Savage’s “Push My Buttons” outfit. A man that’s
been doing it for the kids for a while now.
Walking to the subway, we ran into the great Jens Lagergren so that was a very agreeable way to top of the evening. I tottered up and over past Södra Teatern and back to base camp. It had been an intensive few days but cleansing to some degree. And very humbling.
When I’m whining about the day to day bullshit I should
perhaps count to 5 and contemplate situations like this. Of course, I’ll still
whine but I appreciate it way more than I could ever explain.
And like the troopers they are, my tour management met up
for the farewell at Central Station. Possibly to make sure I got on the Arlanda
Express and wasn’t still wandering around town, ha ha.
My deep thanks to everyone that pitched in on this project.
It means a helluva lot and I hope to repay this amazing gesture down the road apiece.
And to finish a bit of video that the Stockholm Tourist Board should employ and a cracking wee song in the bargain.

Anyone experiencing browser turbulence on this thing? I heard today that it there's a wee problem but it looks OK on the computers I've tried.
This could be a sign that it's time to change the template...
Anyway, after you've recovered from RSD trauma, maybe you could let me know...

Everywhere you go, Record Store Day is getting big licks. The plugs on radio are non-stop and I'd imagine that's firing up all the ebayers. They'll be getting in a lather right now about what they'll make on their booty. I'm not going anywhere near a record store tomorrow but will take up the slack when the shakedown ships out. I will miss the home-baking but them's the breaks. If someone was to start a HBD, the scumhordes would find a way to ruin that too.
So by all means support your local store. Cut along and buy something you want and take in the entertainment that's laid on. Non-specific releases are available too, not just the overpriced "collector" guff but anyway... play nice.
