If you watch the Colbert Report on a regular basis you may have caught these guys...they're this weird Swedish music group that mix Swing, Ska and Hip-Hop music together...and god damn are they catchy!! I've actually been into them for a lot longer than that, a few of my cousins from Norway got me into them.

Yeah, I really dig those guys. I heard them a little from a friend of mine before the appearance on Colbert. (Card carrying member of the Nation, by the way.)

I wouldn't take a steady diet of them, but they ARE interesting and original. Pretty funky and shit. And speaking of which....

...ah, screw it, I'll make another thread so I don't sidetrack this one.

I'm replying in this thread as Steven Colbert congratulates himself for making them more popular.

I'd never heard these guys before. I'm putting them up there with "TV on the Radio."

I'm replying in this thread as Steven Colbert congratulates himself for making them more popular.

...and then blames himself for making them popular.

Guilty -- saw them on Colbert and looked them up --- Fel Del Av Gården is my fave -- I wish a translation were available, I'm curious what they're going on about. :cool

Hey -- does anyone remember a rap song from years back called "Lucas With the Lid Off?" It was a swing-sampler too -- and Garden reminds me quite a bit of it.

Remember when swing was popular again for about six months after that GAP commerical? Oh well ...
