Fall in love with Los Campesinos! Now!

The TPC boys give us a lot of interesting information about themselves in this interview, including why they don’t have groupies. We must say that now we see it.

Those wack-a-doos over at mtvU have posted everything by Kidz In the Hall they could get their hands on, since they made the guys their House Band.

Go veg out and watch.

We sent Kristen N. Brown out to the Atmosphere show in L.A. last night and she came back with a pile of lemons and some lovely photos, despite rumors of rampant pot smoking in the venue.

Last night was the mid-way point on the tour in support of Atmosphere’s 6th album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold.  The album has been getting solid reviews and Rhymesayers has been marketing it aggressively, so I assumed it would be a great show.  Let the record show that I am a huge Atmosphere fan - the old albums are fantastic, and I’ve pretty much worn out my copy of 2005’s You Can’t Imagine How Much Fun We’re Having.  They are generally in my ‘can’t do any wrong’ pile.  That being said, wtf?

[ed: WTF indeed…more after the jump.]

The kids over at mtvU have posted up a Backstage Pass interview with our old friends the Black Keys.

If you were wondering, we learned they have no formal musical training after some kid from University of North Texas asked them. Poor sucker is probs stuck in Denton, TX studying jazz drum or something and cursing his student loans right now.
