What’s the deal with Hot Chip?…. Oh, and Prince covers Radiohead

Whats the big deal about Hot Chip anyway.. I’ve heard a few of their songs, but I just don’t see what the fuss is about. Ihey seem to be getting a lot of press, and everybody seems to like them. I mean, for the most part I can appreciate electronic music - I like the Postal Service, Shout Out Out Out Out, etc, but just can’t seem to get into Hot Chip.

Can someone please explain what the big deal is? Am I the only one who isn’t completely in love with Hot Chip? Here is a review of their latest album Made in the Dark, plus a video for the single Ready to Floor.

And in other news:  Prince covered Radiohead’s Creep at Coachella. I once had a roomate who idolized Prince. He made us listen to Prince everyday. I never thought I’d ever say this (especially not out loud), but Prince is one cool motherfucker, and I have a shitload of respect for him.

Click here to watch a video of Prince at Coachella, with his rendition of Creep. Yes, it is amateur footage. Very amatuer. But the sound is good, and that’s all that matters.

On a side note: Not being able to upload images makes me upset. What’s up with that, blogspress?
