Blog-achella '07 - Gogol Bordello (Fri.) / Jose Gonzalez (Sun.)
Who they are: A bunch of Eastern European types from New York City with funny clothes who named their band after a gay Ukrainian writer from the early 19th century.
What they sound like: They call it "Gypsy Punk"... it's loud and shouty and has accordions and violins and um...
What I think: Um, err... I don't get it. It's like a mosh-pit broke out in Borat's village or something... oh, wait, no... they like country there...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who he is: Argentine dude who grew up in Sweden, got acoustic guitar, rocked softly, did many cover songs and starred on the latest Zero 7 album.
What he sounds like: I'm not making fun here, I promise, but don't you hear a liiiiiiittle bit of Christopher Cross in his voice? Or is it just me?
What I think: Come on, now... just a little, if you listen real hard? No? Anyhoo, dude is cool in my book, although there will be no mosh pits here, unless people are being, like, super ironic.

Oh, and despite the fact that I work on one of the offending "celebrity news" shows, I just really wish people would leave Britney the fuck alone. I'm somewhat embarrassed to be even a small, unwilling part of the media's stalking of the poor girl. Who's with me on this?
Have a great weekend, kids.

Indeed, he sounds A LOT like Christopher Cross with a little bit of Gerry Raferty thrown in. His songs are better, though.
