The Paris Swing Box


The commercial began with the opening of an elevator.  Inside were two men: one dressed as a wrestler, the other wearing a the mask of a bear.  Just the right amount of wrong. 

This just about sums up the music of Parov Stelar.  As a pioneer of Swingtempo, a genre showcasing a modern twist to classic jazz, who couldn't immediately obsess over Parov Stelar?  This being said, my year long obsession has developed into a way of life.  Everything about Parov- his music, appearance, and presence- has rekindled my love of vintage.  His music has a gentleman flair, that makes you want to carry a walking stick, just because.  Parov Stelar has created a master race, ruling over all musical genres (terrible analogy, I know)(Stelar is by no means a Fascist, I can't believe that I even referenced Fascism)(I am a horrible person).  Needless to say, anyone can dance like a "sir" while listening to Stelar.
