The Teenagers - Feeling Better (from Reality Check)
Got questions about the show or just want to share your fave 90210 memories? Talk to the teen chat panel.
At this point there are two summer camps - one for those that love the The Teenagers' brand of nostalgic, 80s-movie referencing teen pop, and one for those that hate fun/making out. As senior counselors at the former, we're excited to welcome homies to the Ottobar next Tuesday along with Team Robespierre and Smart Growth.

If the video for TR's 88th Precinct makes you feel sweaty or uncomfortable, it's because Allen Cordell (Dan Deacon, Future Islands, Jimmy Joe Roche) put it together using crowd shots taken from Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant area. They even borrowed the lucky green hype machine skull.
Do Bmore kids always think there's a video being filmed? Which buzz bin single below best encapsulates your awkward years?
The Teenagers - Homecoming
Nada Surf - Popular
No one is capturing the spirit (and libido) of American adolescence right now like The Teenagers, no matter they're from Paris and live in London. They know the angst and anticipation of watching Dirty Dancing in your room with a new Julie, waiting for the perfect moment, and then going all in during the "nobody puts baby in the corner" scene.
The Teenagers - French Kiss
I thought these guys were a total joke when I heard "Homecoming" for the first time, but now who's laughing? The Teenagers are laughing, all of them. Reality Check is available on iTunes now. Be sure to also check Soko's amazing cover of "Love No" here.
Last night a perfect lo-fi electrofolk song on XM Radio stopped me in my tracks. I knew immediately this girl must be an extremely hot moppy-headed French tomboy brat that loves horribly cheesy American 80s movies and kicks your ass in Mario Kart. This morning a quick image search confirms. Soko.
Her raspy talk-sing showcased in cult hit "I'll Kill Her" and recent cover of The Teenagers "Love No" has been on nonstop rotation all day, along with the Teenagers debut Reality Check which is only available digitally right now on iTunes, etc.

ScarJo was right outside Butter Team HQ (above) last week whilst filming He's Just Not That Into You, but there were no random encounters, nor did she slip a note under the door inviting us to help her fight insomnia with sake. We saw Kevin Connelly, but, so what.
