Blog-achella '07 - Junior Boys (Sun.) / Justice (Sat.)
J is for Jammin'...
Who they are: More Canadians, but don't worry, I won't do the "take off, hoser" bit today. They're from Hamilton, Ontario, a lovely town which you know is a big deal because they have a Canadian football team there. Canadian football, of course, is just like American football, except that the players on defense get to wear moose horns on their helmets, the running backs are pulled down the field by sled dogs, and every touchdown is worth 15,000 points. Canadians love high scores. The Hamilton side is known as the Tiger-Cats, because, well, apparently they like to be really specific in Canada. They wouldn't want you to think their team was the Tiger Shrimp or Tiger Woods....
What they sound like: More white boy nerd funk!
What I think: Love these guys just as much as the Hot Chip. This is what pop music should sound like! Now, we only need one band to complete the nerd funk trilogy, and that would be these guys...
Make it happen, Goldenvoice!!!!!!!!!

Who they are: Frenchies.
What they sound like: They are maybe the most blog-hyped of the new French house/techno artists. They did the "We Are Your Friends" song. They like to make screechy sounds sometimes and farty sounds at others. They have a good beat and you can dance to it.
What I think: Although this sound can (and does) very often dip into the obnoxious and ear-ouchy, I can't deny that I'm into it in certain doses. I will, however, deny that I am the father of Anna Nicole's baby, no matter what the damn DNA tests "claim" to "prove". Oh crap... I've said too much...
