A lot of times the Friday Happy Medium Song of the Day is nothing more than a cheap attempt on my part to help get a jump-start on the weekend. It’s been a long week and maybe you’re just looking for a musical excuse to bust loose. The school year’s over and your headed to the beach, but you’re looking for a soundtrack to not only propel you into the weekend, but maybe even the entire summer. No deep messages or meaningful stories here — just sweat and smoke and drum beats and dancing and flirting and an incredible song that’s over way to soon.
The Vanjas are from Stockholm, Sweden and like fellow countrymen The Hives, they appear to be stuck in some kind of wonderful musical time warp where fashion takes its cues from the ’60s with suits and skinny ties and slinky dresses, and the music is steeped in rhythm and blues, rock n’ roll and soul. Also like The Hives, The Vanjas have great rock n’ roll names: Vanja Lo (lead singer), Mr. Magnatone (guitar) Bon Ton (bass) and The Swinger on drums.
So get ready to program your iPod to repeat, The Happy Medium Song of the Day is “Friday Twist” by The Vanjas off their latest LP, Sings and Plays Rock n’ Roll. (Please use the comments box to share your thoughts.)
