Blog-achella '07 - Konono #1 (Sun.) / LCD Soundsystem (Sat.)
Gotta make it quick today...
Who they are: Street musicians from Kinshasa, Congo who play homemade instruments made of junk, more or less... featuring what they call a likembe or "thumb piano".
What they sound like: Like nothing you've ever quite heard before, to be honest. And from reading a couple of articles, they like to play it LOUD.
What I think: This is the kind of thing you're either into or it gives you a headache. I am, shall we say, intrigued...

Who they are: Tha disco infiltrator fo sho!
What they sound like: They've been covered quite frequently in this space, so I know I don't need to get into it. Jury's still out on the new album though... not feelin' it as much as the first. Here's a surprisingly downcast song, although good.
What I think: The last time they played Coachella, they were just about the best thing I saw all weekend. Don't miss it!!!!!!
