Blog-achella 09: Plumpin' Bumpin'
Day 2 without cigarettes. World. Of. Hurt. Meanwhile, in Coachella bands...
Today's loser roundup begins with Late Of The Pier, who one could compare in many ways to Friendly Fires, except for the part where I said Friendly Fires were really, really good...
Next we have The Horrors, who only have one song on their Myspace, which makes it pretty hard for me to draw any sweeping conclusions about them... but I will anyways. The conclusion is "meh"...
And it wouldn't be Coachella without Perry Farrell now, would it. Now as big of a free pass as Perry gets for Jane's Addiction and inventing Lollapalooza, it's pretty amazing that he has actually finally managed to exhaust any and all good will those achievements (rightfully) earned him. Just go away. Please. Let me listen to Nothing's Shocking without thinking about how much I'd like to punch you in the cock. Is that too much to ask? I think not...
Then you have the oh-so-naughtily named Fucked Up who are (shocker) a Punk band. Normally you'd think a band would be shooting themselves in the foot giving themselves an X-rated name like that, but these guys are bad enough that the name won't matter...
Sebastian Tellier is a guy who would probably get his own post if the days weren't counting down so quickly. But the French Popster can be very hit and miss. Sometimes he's genius, but some of his earier stuff is borderline unlistenable. I do like the new record, though...
Repping the ElectroFidgetBlogHouse, Ed Banger records founder Busy P... but I covered him last year... so that leads us to...
Plump DJs
Who they are: A couple of blokes from London. I remember a friend of mine had a great story about partying with these guys, but I can't remember any more than that. And you just wasted 5 seconds of your life reading that sentence. Sorry 'bout that :P
What they sound like: These guys are probably the foremost practitioners of the Breaks biznezz... is it just me, or are Breaks on the outs right now? Seems like you hardly hear anything about this kinda music anymore. But rest assured, the Plumps are still bringin' the heat...
(MP3 REMOVED AT THE REQUEST OF FINGER LICKIN' RECORDS... GO BUY IT!)
What I think: It's gonna be a lovely break (pun possibly intended) from all the grindy ElectroBlogFidgetHouse in the Sahara Tent, that's for sure. The selection on the YouTubes was rather pathetic, though...
I shall now return to my regularly scheduled nicotine fit... (shivers) (twitches uncontrollably)

Hi whilst we appreciate that you are running a cool blog, you are currently enabling our music to be downloaded for free. As a small independent label free downloads are crippling our business and making it impossible for us to release our artists music. It would be extremely appreciated if you could remove the Plump DJs 'London Street Music' track you have available to download. The artists, and indeed the label, are losing valuable revenue which is needed to pay for production and marketing and in turn keeping us putting out cool underground music that we believe in. No one is getting rich here! Thanks for your support.
Absolutely, sirs. While I post this music only to promote the Plump DJs, who are fucking awesome btw, I completely understand and will take the song down immediately. Cheers.
