What?

I’ve been following my blog stats quite religiously lately, and they have consistently been telling me this bewildering piece of information:

My top search engine hit is for pony da look.

That’s right. People searching for this band are finding my site; I believe I’ve only mentioned them once, in a short paragraph about how I wasn’t too sad about missing their set. However, 17 people have come here in their search for them. What a head-scratcher! Well … welcome.

Some of my other top hits (these ones are five hits and below; this gap is even more perplexing) are calexico, matchstick zune (that would be this post), and sam roberts love at the end of the world. These ones make a lot more sense.

Well, here I go tagging this entry with Pony Da Look too, just to see if it boosts my hit count even more. Maybe I should actually review their record … but that would only make all the fans go away again.

More folk festival reviews coming up!

    Here is a review for your blog of what Pony Da Look’s “Shattered Dimensions” sounds like:
    You walk into a pub lit by torchlight and candles, and decorated with electronics from a surplus store. Somebody is slamming rhythmically on a jukebox, causing it to skip back and forth through distorted segments of some of Martin Gore’s earlier compositions for Depeche Mode. While this insistent sound fills the air, a bar-room brawl erupts between Loreena McKennitt and X-Ray Spex, who chant taunts at each other from either side of the room, as the tables are cleared aside and the other patrons stamp their bony feet as they begin the first of the many frenzied dances…

    Thank you Charles – now I can safely say that PDL fans will at least find a review. Your selflessness is greatly appreciated.

    Hahaha, no, really, that was an excellent post. Bravo. Five points for the X-Ray Spex reference (you are apparently one of the few who have not forgotten about them yet).
