Populäre Mechanik is an improvisational group from Berlin playing a unique amalgam of Fluxus-inspired garage rock, free jazz, and live electronics. It was originally founded in the early 1980s by Wolfgang Seidel who had previously been the original drummer for West-Berlin leftist rock band Ton Steine Scherben and after that became a long-time collaborator of Conrad Schnitzler with whom he played in Kluster and Eruption, as well as in duo recordings. Recently, Seidel emerged as an author and has published a number of writings on the history of free rock and experimental music in Western Germany - especially Krautrock - most notably the book Wir Müssen Hier Raus (Ventil Verlag, 2016) that is still awaiting it's English translation. The music of Populäre Mechanik is rooted in equal parts in the pop music socialization of it's members and the desire to experiment and incorporate cues from free improvisation and avant-garde music, while retaining a sense of enjoyment and playfulness, avoiding all pitfalls that are often present in rock-based progressive music. The name of the band is a nod to the 1950s and 1960s era of US science and technology magazine Popular Mechanics and was chosen as a statement of positive affirmation of the modern age, against the dystopias offered by much of punk and Industrial music at that time. The first incarnation of Populäre Mechanik released a 7" single and two cassettes, parts of which have recently been compiled on a CD/LP on Bureau B (BB 186CD/LP, 2015). It broke up during the 1980s. In 2005, Seidel revived the name for a new line-up - himself being the only common member - that played in a similar vein. This second incarnation of Populäre Mechanik can be heard for the first time on this double-LP. The line-up features improvised vocals by Alex Bulgrin, who otherwise performs as a garage rock singer with Berlin's '60s music collective Beatorganization, as well as Sven Hanke (table git, synth), Marcus Jaeger (guitar), Lars Jeschke (piano, keyboards), Kolja Nixdorf (trumpet), Matthias Sareika (bass, synth), and Wolfgang Seidel (percussion, synth). All recordings were made between 2005 and 2014 in Populäre Mechanik's rehearsal room. Full-color, gatefold sleeve with photos and extensive liner notes by Seidel explaining the history and musical positions of the group; Edition of 300.

Great for tough chewers!
Color: carrot orange
This is awesome for my 85# Labrador. He is very destructive with toys and this has held up great. After months of playing with it, only teeth marks on it. Worth every penny. The green top crinkles which my dog loves.

My dog was obsessed with these
Color: carrot orange
Bought these for my dog and they were an instant hit. The carrot shape is cute, but more importantly they kept my dog entertained for quite a while. The squeaker still works and the toy has held up better than I expected considering how rough my dog can be with toys.
I always expect squeaky toys to be destroyed within a day or two, but these have lasted surprisingly well. They're lightweight, easy for my dog to carry around, and have become one of the toys that gets picked out of the basket the most.
If your dog enjoys squeaky toys, these are definitely worth a try.

Good one.
Color: carrot orange
Our Lab loved it. Nice and sturdy apart from the leaves, which were short lived. Overall a good toy for a big boy.

Fun for retrieving and chewing.
Color: carrot orange
My lab loves this carrot, and uses it to retrieve and is not easily destroyed. However, he was able to pull off the leaves the first day. It’s still functional, just know they’re gonna come off if you have a chewer. Purchased based of recommendations for indestructible toys.

Great
Color: carrot orange
The greenery came off very quickly after a few chews but the orange rubber material, my pup really enjoys. It feels good on her teeth and she will just chew on it for hours.
