cover song of the moment

Hot Chip recently covered Shakira’s "She Wolf" (WTF/OMG!) I actually just heard/saw the song/video for the first time the other day—it is pretty amazing... in that funny kind of way. Hot Chip’s version is pretty spectacular, hear it over at Abeano.

we try but we don't belong

It is Sunday and most of us are recovering from the excessive dancing and drinking the night before; but in case you want to dance more or is throwing a dance party this coming friday, listen to the new Hot Chip disc, The Warning. The album is full of contrasting up tempo and dancy instrumentations with mellow and laidback vocals; in fact, the vocals even contrast each others: with one member singing in a higher range while the other in a low-key style. Hot Chip’s musical technique is closely similar to Junior Boys and it sometimes even reminds me of Thom Yorke.
