Blog-achella '07 - CocoRosie (Sat.) / The Comedians of Comedy (Fri.)
Today in Blog-achella '07...
Funny-weird vs. Funny-ha-ha.
Who they are: Two weird sisters from Weirdville. Seriously, though, the bio is one of those where you have no idea what the hell they're talking about or how much of it they're making up, so your guess is as good as mine.
What they sound like: Pretty weird. But kinda interesting. I've been trying to figure out someone to compare them to, but I keep coming up just short. Matmos on Estrogen injections, perhaps?
What I think: The title sure fits. Basically, if the vocals were a little better, I might really dig this. But they're not. So "meh".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who they are: Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Zach Galifianakis and Maria Bamford... four of the funniest stand-up comedians around.
What they sound like: If they had a band, they would suck, but lucky for the world, they don't. I looked on the YouTubes for some snippets of their acts, but most of the videos were kinda crap - little 30 second snippets with bad audio. Curse Viacom and their cracking down on the Interwebs pirates ways! But this little clip here kinda sums it all up nicely...
What I think: I worked with Patton for three years on Mad TV and can tell you that he is easily one of the funniest motherfuckers on the planet and a cool dude to boot. I could tell you stories of antics and shenanigans for days! If you haven't seen the "Comedians of Comedy" show on Comedy Central, definitely check it out. It's like "Tourgasm" but with humor. (btw, it is my personal opinion that Dane Cook should be shot out of a cannon into a brick wall covered in dog poo... and spikes... big pointy spikes) If you want to give your ears a break from all the loud music and laugh 'til you pee in your pants a little, go check 'em out. Oh, and if the Coachella folks are smart, they'll be doing their act in the beer tent :P
