Please talk about: "Buffalo Stance" by Neneh Cherry

Hated "Buffalo Stance" when it came out, and had the same reaction putting it on just now: It's timelessly corny, awkward, and pandering. But "7 Seconds" makes up for it.

MMM! WOO, Yeah yeah! UNH! Deejay!

GIGOLO

Neneh & kids

I love the synthesizer flourish in this, so . much.

Xposts: Hey! You didn't introduce the hit hat or the tambourine yet!

Oh how thoughtless of me!! I'd like to introduce:

Holy crap is this video awesome!

I heard this for the 1st time 4 days ago after checking out songs from the ILM 20th century list that I'd never heard before.. it's pretty great. Love the "$200 video" also.

WOT IS HE LIKE?

My man right here.

My co-worker sang this at our karaoke x-mas party last night. I haven't heard this song in years and it's suddenly popping up everywhere.

What's he like anyway?

The guy's a gigolo, man.

I just got into an intense wine-fix a couple nights ago. Needless to say, Neneh Cherry's Raw Like Sushi, became my soundtrack of the evening. The whole Buffalo Stance track is splendid and shakes around the atmospheric. I don't understand all the Madonna comparisons though.

This T-Rex remix by Phiiliip makes great use of the keyboard riff from "Buffalo Stance".

xpost Needless to say!

wtf is that shit

I wonder what Neneh's stance on the buffalo is now, all these years later. I think she'll be indifferent towards them. Not as bothered as she used to be.

A+

wait, does she start by saying "harmolodic"?

I finally got Raw Like Sushi! This thing defines "vibrant."

I can't believe I've only known this song for the past year... It's like, life-changing.

Holy crap. Only now? tHis record really defined my teenage years. Not only do I love her music, but her style was just plain awesome in my opinion. I loved it and still do. She was my idol and hence why I checked out everything around her (rip rig and panic, portishead, massive attack,.........)

that has got to be the most in-your-face video ever...wowzer!

Love the synth pads!

Neneh Cherry & The Thing “The Cherry Thing” out 18th of June on CD, LP and download

Neneh Cherry and jazz trio The Thing met for the first time at a recording session in London in the fall of 2010. It clicked right away as they all shared an open, free approach to the music. The high energy of The Thing’s playing found a fitting counterpart in Neneh’s intense style. After a performance at Strand, Stockholm in March 2011, they decided to continue the collaboration resulting in their forthcoming, self-titled album, The Cherry Thing, out June 19 on Smalltown Supersound. Apart from their own compositions, the album features the music of such diverse artists as Ornette Coleman, Suicide, Don Cherry, Martina Topley-Bird, The Stooges, and MF Doom.

I was sold till "MF Doom"

This sounds good. Just bought tickets..

gigs? what, where??

They are playing London, Amsterdam, Berlin etc. Not many gigs. I think that will change though. I got tickets for the London gig in July.

cheers!

i'm really loving this album. from a position of near-total ignorance - love neneh long time obv, but hadn't even heard of the thing, and am only familiar with one of the originals. but the things she does with her voice these days are incredible and i love how spontaneous/controlled it all sounds.

this is a really incredible record isn't it? the thing haven't really toned down what they do that much and it still works which is quite an achievement, it's like the bad plus / wendy lewis record's cool older sister

i was sold till "bad plus"

This is a great record. An amazing first impression, and I expect to like it more as it gets more familiar.

this is all very well but I preferred it when The Thing were my little free jazz band that no-one had heard of

yeah totally, there's loads of little conversations going on here. neneh is fucking awesome on this. there was a nice piece in the metro on tuesday...

I bet The Thing is pretty happy that they are finally getting some attention. I'm happy for them. Still haven't heard this album but I've liked everything else they've done that I've heard.

i had never even heard OF the thing until this album

i've still only heard one of the originals

they're fairly big as free jazz power trios go to be sure, but yknow that's the kind of big that means occasionally getting an audience in the triple figures.

they've been playing to triple-figure audiences in Europe for years, but didn't get any notice in the UK until the Cafe Oto hipster crowd moved in.

welp that'll be me then.

xpost

if they didn't get any notice in the uk how did the 'cafe oto hipsters' hear abt them?

lol?

b/c Cafe Oto put on a couple of shows by them, I guess.
