Did anyone see Pitchfork's review of the Black Kids' Partie Traumatic?  It was just a picture of two dogs that said "sorry."  Now, over the course of the last year or so I've quit giving their full reviews any real credit, but this bugged me.  Why not at least write a paragraph that's a rant or something?  I don't understand the reasoning behind such pretentious laziness.  Anyhow, while you ponder that I advise that you give a listen to Bambi Get Over it.  The six-piece UK act shot me an email this week that informed me of their catchy ways, and I instantly felt the need to jump on the bandwagon.  Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure if they have a full length, an EP or what that's available for you to pick up, so you'll just have to live with the gem below and what's on Myspace.  Enjoy.

:Bambi Get Over It - Badman:  I'd love to blow your mind by saying that this is the most original piece of music ever, but it isn't.  At all.  It's really just a pretty easily described two minutes of garage rock that sounds like the the Heartless Bastards blended lightly with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.  So what's the big deal?  Well, it's about as infectious as anything I've heard in awhile.  Good luck getting them out of your head.

With it being so dark it's hard to see precisely what's going on in this live performance of Ginger, but the sound is OK and it seems like everyone is having a good time.  Check it out.
