Los Campesinos! - Hold On Now, Youngster...

They're from Cardiff, Wales, this is the debut for the 7-piece. "Indie" poppy rock, very upbeat, male + female vocals that have Welsh accents - yay! This is one band that has the capacity to both annoy me with their cutesyness but also delight me at the same time. They're actually pretty good, you should play them! Recommended if you like Architecture in Helsinki, I'm From Barcelona, etc.

South By Southwest Killed Me

My sincerest apologies for the lack of updates on this blog. I really am disappointed in myself. Since my return from the grand party known as South By Southwest I first found myself bogged down by homework, then by a weekend of frivolity and fun, and now having the flu (and another backlog of work). I'm going to stay in this weekend though, minus a trip to the grocery store, a radio station meeting (an important one), and maybe out to eat if people wish to dine in my company. Other than that, it will be work work work and music music music. I have so many CDs to listen to and I hope some of them will be good. Updates on the 31st? Oh, I hope so.
