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.

Soft and Perfect for Small Pets
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Blue
This little bed mat is super soft and cozy, and my cat took to it right away. The size is perfect for a crate or just laying around the house, and the star design is really cute. I like that it has an anti-slip bottom so it stays in place, and it’s easy to throw in the wash when it needs cleaning. It’s lightweight but still has enough cushion for small dogs or cats to nap comfortably. A great value for a simple, comfy pet bed.

Perfect Pad for My Pet Stroller
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Grey
I bought a pet stroller that didn’t come with a pad, and I was worried I wouldn’t find one that fit. This bed turned out to be the perfect pad for the stroller! It fits just right and works well for that purpose. However, if you’re planning to use it as an actual bed, it is too thin on its own. Great as a pad, but not thick enough to be a standalone bed.

Kitty Loves It!
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Pink
This kitty pad is so cute! I wanted a pad for my kitty's window seat, and this was the right size and I loved the color and stars. It worked great and my kitty loves the fluffiness and comfort. She lays on it every day in the sunshine. It did well in the wash, too.

Soft fleecy fabric but mat is thin
Size: 30''L x 19''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Grey
Got this for a cat who likes to sit on a chair and sheds everywhere - she loves it, and it covers the whole seat of the chair. Fabric is soft and cozy, but the mat is pretty thin and wouldn’t add a lot of comfort to a hard floor or crate
