that was some opunk rock shit right tuhurrr

[Bhickman]

really? Hmmm...I hate hearing good things on artists after I've passed off the album to another writer.

[Ben]

whoa. wish i were there.

[Bhickman]

everyone who wants to rag on me about Creed/Stapp please take note of this joker's above post.

[thrillho]

ah, middle of the night drunk yancy posts would be so much more entertaining if i didn't know he had just driven home.

[Wolfgang]

Kid's not joking, Hot Chip were jammin that sex music all night long. It's been six hours since they left the stage and Chicago still doesn't know what hit them. I think I saw Yancy in the balcony but I'm still nervous about going up to random people and saying, "hey are you that dude from the internet??"


Totally not from last night but...

[without_opinion]

dammit, i turned down an invite from someone on the guest list. gotta re-prioritize my life and move "rock" up the list.

I'm surprised at the love of this band around here. I saw them a few months ago at the Bottle and hated them. Must have been something like being annoyed by a 4-foot lead singer tell me to shake my ass. And watching the lard-ass on the keyboards did nothing but incite laughter and actually made me nauseous.

[stella del vinile]

i watched them on a tivo'd episode of sunday's subterranean last night. it's like napoleon dynamite's little brother and james murphy got together and started a band. does not excite.

[stella del vinile]

Pssh, teevee performances.

I still want SG's verdict, she was there.

they didn't even perform. they talked to that tool, jim shearer, and then a hot chip video played. meh.

[6ome 9irl]

everyone was there.

it wasn't as hyper dance party as cut copy were when they came thru but it was still great. i liked the whole set, but they should have played more from the warning. so, you think 'over and over' is a great single and then it rages live.

i was really attracted to the night (aside from it being at one of my fave hooker dives) because jarrett of walter meego opened and they're my fave chicago band. interestingly, walter meego also opened for cut copy when they came thru and they will be playing again in a few days. i feel like a goddamn street teamer but they are worth the popularity they're gaining.

um, bald eagle (if you're reading this) it's too bad you weren't after the show 'cuz your set was really fun and more people needed to dance.

i just crawled out of bed...

p.s. yellow it's funny you say james murphy... i usually describe the band to friends as 'james murphy without a cold' and ants in their pants. XLR8R had a good article attempting to describe 'em. saying it must confuse the hell out of cd-sticker blurb writers.

[6ome 9irl]

in other words, "bitch, send it to me." ok! it's loading now.

I thought the first album was pretty solid, but nothing mindblowing. How does the second one measure up?

It's "on a whole other level" as the kids say. Great album. It's a definite purchase for me when it (finally) comes out.

Cool, thanks. I'll have to check it out.

So Cut Copy were better than Hot Chip last night at Subt? I'm now regretting not seeing the Cut Copy show. Anyways, Hot Chip really brought it, especially for a Monday night! Highly recommended live if you like this sound. If this was only on the weekend!

[6ome 9irl]

you'll have your chance again. yeah, god i forgot it was a monday night. a friday would have been crazy.

new album: the warning

http://s62.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0VUD1ZCKAPV472G4OMD75C46MF

'arrest yourself' is def my pick. don't ask me to explain but it sounds like a funky detective song. if this picture were a song.


pst, look at all of these are great.

[-Blank-]

That's my pick for best upbeat song on the album. Something about the combination of that beat, dirty synth, and near-falsetto "arrest yourself" in the chorus... so fine, so fine.

"Look After Me" is my fave despite being not at all representative of the album. Really hits the spot, considering my current love affair with '70s soft rock. I could listen to that song all day.

interesting pick. i must say that i go back and forth between no fit state (not upbeat...but i love the guitar in this tune and the supporting thick as f*ck synth) and just like we (breakdown).....for the layering and how it all fits together.

[jaymc]

Yeah, Cut Copy did move the crowd a bit more, I thought. But really great show nonetheless. Even the songs that aren't normally dance explosions felt really rhythmic and tight. Good to see you again, SomeGirl.
