My Teenage Stride - To Live and Die in the Airport Lounge
"To Live and Die In The Airport Lounge" by My Teenage Stride , very well might be one of the best songs of the decade, and believe it or not, the rest of their songs are pretty great too. For years Jed Smith, the mind behind MTS, has been writing pop songs influenced by the Velvet Undergroud, The Four Seasons, Television Personalities, Pink Floyd, and the Supremes that are unendingly catchy and even transcendent. Now, with a new backing band consisting of Tris Mcall and two members of psychy-indie band I'm Turning Into [...]

My Teenage Stride - To Live and Die in the Airport Lounge
It's nice to have this visual/aural reminder of a super record that came out earlier in 2007. My Teenage Stride's video for "To Live and Die in the Airport Lounge" was directed by Nara Garber, and the song is from the album Ears Like Golden Bats . The British label Becalmed Records released the record earlier this year, and it's been in heavy rotation here at The Cropper ever since.

My Teenage Stride - To Live and Die in the Airport Lounge
Wouldn't we all like to find a doctor who could protect us from zombies and the CIA within those long, eye-glazing "health service provider" directories handed out by HR departments across the land? In this clip for My Teenage Stride's "To Live And Die In The Airport Lounge"--one of their standout songs, it's a bit of C86-recalling cheer that'll have you singing along with its boisterous chorus by the second go-round--the bandmembers all have odd problems (the aforementioned zombies, an "opacity disorder," a weird thing where slices of pizza get turned into pieces of meat) that get miraculously [...]
