Blog-achella-geddon 2012!: Fuck Rush Limbaugh
No, there's no connection between that fat piece of shit and today's Coachella acts... I just thought it needed to be said. Anyhoo, we're covering exactly one line on the poster today...
And that line starts with The Big Pink, about whom I had some lovely things to say in 2010...
Next come Black Lips, about whom I did NOT have some lovely things to say in 2008...
Grace Potter & The Nocturnals are actually nowhere near as bad as I thought they'd be. I actually have their best song, "Paris" in the DJ Lately rotation and have supplied the video thereof at the Facebook page for your review...
I'm very seriously on the fence about tUnE-yArDs. This chick really rides the fine line between interesting and awful and I just can't quite figure out which one she is. Plus fuck the way she does the random capitol letters in her handle. It serves merely to irk me, girl...
Laura Marling is just a sensitive girl with an acoustic guitar whose music makes me want to kill myself...
... whereas The Head And The Heart are a bunch of sensitive dudes with acoustic guitars whose music doesn't make me want to kill myself quite as much as Laura Marling's, so they got that going for 'em...
And Destroyer is Indie Rock darling and perennial blog-fodder Dan Bejar, who seems to be doing a '70s Soft Rock thing these days. I'll pass, bringing us to...
Kaiser Chiefs
Who they are: They are Brit-Rock veterans at this point, eh?
What they sound like: They've updated their sound with a bit more electronics lately, which always scores some bonus points from me. And although some of the tunes on the new records sound like they are going to fall completely apart at the seams, they still manage to find some of their trademark huge hooks when it's working right. To wit...
What I think: Ever since I saw one of their live shows on the teevee, I've been a fan. And you should be, too...
Now if you'll excuse me, I predict a bowel movement, so I'm out...
