new music

hoxton has played host to two lovely festivals in the past couple of weeks; stag and dagger and hox to dot. I was really into them both because i got to see bands i am into, but also i got to find out about new music i had never heard (which is one of my favorite things in life). Here are two:

Primary 1: basically the talking heads of 2008. they have a great frontman.

Juiceboxxx: if you don't find his milwaukee nerd voice instantly endearing, his beats and rhymes will surely do the trick.




notice his nerd-core style. he was wearing the unicorn shirt with lightning bolts when he played.

oh and i also watched euro-vision for the first time ever, which is a music contest were about 25 european countries submit an act and they all perform and everyone votes on who is the best. but the acts are usually people who are semi-big in the country, just not world wide. russia won and they had one of the worst songs, but at least i got to see france, which was AMAZING. they entered sebastien tellier, who i already know a little bit via the club scene, but never really paid attention to before because i thought he made boring house music (WRONG). He had 5 lady back up singers all wearing fake beards like him and rolled up onstage in a golfcart, looking like a character from the big lebowski/ royal tennenbaums and sang a really chill song. it was just so good.


p.s. does anyone in the world know how to post music on blogs?
