hot chip - how do you do?
though i'm not as enamored with this album as their previous releases, you can always count on hot chip to make kooky videos to accompany their tracks. in this case it's so nerd-tastic that you can't help but have a smile on your face while bopping to this dorky disco jam!

joe goddard feat valentina - gabriel
[fans of hot chip will undoubtedly recognize band member joe goddard immediately. though the group is on a mini break, joe has not only launched a new label greco-roman (which features our last post totally enormous extinct dinosaurs on their roster), but also an EP featuring this amazing gem of a song. reminding me of the classic house tracks of my youth, this is definitely one of my fave dance songs of the moment!]

[i keep on finding gems off the album made in the dark by hot chip. it's not that i'm not a fan, it's just that after the initial enjoyment factor, it takes a period of time for the songs to sink in and eventually they become full fledged anthems. it's how i felt about "ready for the floor" and this is what i'm feeling with this song...it's magic really...]
