i mostly thank you for this comment
yes! ID3 tag nerds unite.
I appreciate that you appreciate this mixtape's genre. +1.
For those keeping score, that's Glass Ghost's Mike Johnson on drums, substituting for Brian McOmber, and Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner filling out Angel's space.
'tis fixed, sorry about that warren (and Redditers).
Also please remember that the Monthly Mixes are culled from the month's free MP3s (and not streams), which disqualifies lots of songs we post (including, in the last week, Savages, King Tuff, No Joy, and A Place To Bury Strangers).
That Al Doyle "was there" for each of James Murphy's substantial LCD-related needs and still has managed to provide loyalty, dedication, and dogged onstage goofball charisma for Hot Chip all of these years deserves recognition and propers. Salute.
this was all-around great, though it needed more (like even one second of) air time for jaleel bunton.
Nice dispatch, Michael_. Carrie Brownstein spoke to much the same experience, albeit in <140 characters. https://twitter.com/#!/Carrie_Rachel/status/191651824808370176
Taylor Swift, can't believing it since 2006.
YEAH, IN FACT THAT'S SOMETHING I'M SORTA SENSITIVE ABOUT THANKS A LOT MAN

YO https://twitter.com/#!/FleetFoxesSing/status/161868123023216643 Yeah it did.
Sorry, that was an editing snafu -- I hope your morning is back on track!
Let us bow(ie) our heads and pay respect to the champion @PatrickBorelli for the genesis of this idea. The kingdom of heaven is his.
feels good to upvote you, ddog
In fairness to the honorable Mr. Cain, Lotus Plaza is short a few bekis. Get it together, Lockett.
It’s on hiatus until I work out the kinks in this bhangra/Rachmaninoff/4AD playlist. (Seriously I haven’t been publicizing Girl/Boy Songs lately and also not doing them regularly, but if there’s an egg-noggy edition in store I will email you! Hi Nate!)
godsdog, meet Buckley. he is sitting next to me and is also your new #1 fan:
That's very kind, and much appreciated, Jared. Thanks for engaging.
My mom texted me at 3AM to say that she enjoyed this performance. CONGRATS ANNIE YOU MAKING IT.
Ah, man. It's true. I spent at least 2 minutes thinking about where they'd put the gravity harp and none looking at the year. Which is a shame -- each time I've seen Björk do something in Housing Works it's been a thrill. Maybe there's hope for a Tesla coil near the used books racks yet.
It's all better now, Mssr. Atkins. Try again.
Also spotted: cameos by Devonté Hynes and Rewards (ex-Chairlift's Aaron Pfenning) in that Solange DJ scene.
Don't sell yourself short, surlyduck, you understood -- "Hot Chip in a costume" was essentially the joke in the first place. The Deadmau5 part is less of a joke and has more symbolic weight now that I've seen the video, though, after hearing Orlando talk about his take on dance music and his populist, anti-intellectual approach to genre distinctions. The mainstream is sort of exactly what he's targeting with that philosophy. I missed that Cameo set in favor of some horrible afterparty near the New Museum, and I'm bummed about that. But I've seen it live, and it is good.
Also, (the puppeteer who mans) Elmo was on The Daily Show (@ 13:27) the other night. He doesn't look like you'd expect him to look!
Oh, I thought you were asking an earnest question! Thank you for clarifying.
An artist that matters most to us.
Hey Thor! I am not sure what band you are in, but given how many bands played Amsterdam last week, statistically speaking it's highly unlikely you are in the band I am talking about! But if you are, I'm sorry to say there's not much a better soundsystem or constructive criticism can do. Don't worry. I'm sure it wasn't you and your band is great. Thanks re: Megas. That dude can make a memory from across Europe, which is the definition of talent.
Alternate post title: "Nothing Compares 2 Lobster Soup"
The moment you realize that, at some point, everyone at this protest would get to sing "We know who our enemies are" in unison is a good one. Followed closely by all the other ones.
