Note to bands that sound like what I'd imagine would happen if Brainiac
and Huggy Bear got together and mercilessly teased the New Pornographers
into not sucking or Los Campesinos! got Ian Svenonius to join their band: A tirade along the lines of…
“Don't EVER NAME YOURSELF HOT PANDA! IT MAKES ME
THINK TO MYSELF 'HOLY SHIT, THIS BAND HAS A TERRIBLE NAME THAT MAKES ME
NEVER WANT TO LISTEN TO THEM.'”
And that would be a shame, because I really like Hot Panda's new album, How Come I'm Dead.
