Blog-achella '07 - Julieta Venegas (Fri.) / VNV Nation (Sun.)
So, you find all the eggs the Easter Bunny left at your house? Make sure you check in the sock drawer... all the way in the back... I always forget that one...
Who she is: Mexican singer/songwriter reppin' the LBC!
What she sounds like: Sunny pop en Espanol.
What I think: While nothing groundbreaking, this would certainly go over well on a warm Coachella afternoon with a cold Tecate in your hand. Now, if you could only take your beer away from those little holding pens they make you drink in...
----------------------
Who they are: English & Irish dude based in Germany, which makes sense once you hear them. I would imagine zee Germanz love this shit.
What they sound like: Like a new version of Front 242, perhaps? Trancey/industrial beats with the deep and uber-serious male goth vocals.
What I think: They can't find better electronic acts than this? Try harder next year, please.
--------------------------
And finally, a little something to while away the hours while you punch the clock. A little game called Serf's Up over at Grab.com. You're a knight, and you use a variety of instruments (baseball bat, mace, pink flamingo) to launch a Serf through the air and see how far he flies as he bounces off various shit that speeds him up or slows him down. That's really all there is to it, but it has proven to be insanely addictive. My personal record so far is over 2000 feet... I am easily entertained.
