After Kanye West’s mention, IRC gets loved

kanye-west-blog

Almost two weeks ago we posted about Florida’s electronic unsigned duo artists called Blind Man’s Colour.

The posting received a lot of attention!

So much so that even big-time hip-hop musician Kanye West, in a post titled “Some Dope Shit for My Apartment” (why was he living in an apartment?) on his Kayne Universe City blog, linked to our review of Blind Man’s Colour.

Kinda cool, huh? Getting some love from Mr. West? In addition, indie blogs Gorilla Vs. Bear and I Guess I’m Floating wrote about Kayne’s post and the IRC discovery. Then more high visiblity blogs jumped on the BMC-IRC-West love wagon – although they conveniently failed (decided not to) to give the original attribution to us. That’s not cool in journalism or music journalism.

In his post, West also posted a link to our announcement of the lineup for this year’s Coachella fest.

Anyways, the latest word from Blind Man Colour’s is that the guys have been getting calls from record labels and a huge number of new friend requests on MySpace since our review posted.
