Blog-achella '07 - Willie Nelson (Sun.) / New Pornographers (Sat.)

Who can blog when March Madness has started?

Okay, okay, I'll do it.

Willie Nelson





Who he is: America's favorite stoner.

What he sounds like: Surprisingly lucid!

Willie Nelson - We Don't Run
Willie Nelson - Songbird



What I think: Not a country music fan at all, but I'd rank Willie a strong yet distant #2 to my man Johnny Cash. It's kind of interesting how they are throwing in a few hold-overs from the next weekend's Stagecoach Festival. I wonder how it will go over... I imagine Willie will have a large crowd, though, and that the contact high will be especially pungent ;)

The New Pornographers





Who they are: Yet MORE Canucks, this time from Vancouver, where, oh so appropriately for this particular pairing, they actually have pot cafes! Bonus points for Neko Case being such a hottie.

What they sound like: More of that Indie Pop that seems to be the rage in Canada right now. When I was growing up, it seemed like the only music they had was The Tragically Hip... who rule, btw. If you disagree with that, I will fight you.

The New Pornographers - Sing Me Spanish Techno
The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema



What I think: Not bad at all... well this song anyway. Didn't know these guys before, but I may have to investigate further...

And not that you care, but my Final Four picks are Georgetown, Texas A&M, Florida and Kansas, with the Jayhawks over the Hoyas in the finals... because it's 11:39...

... AND GEORGETOWN STILL SUCKS!!!!
