part of what makes Hot Chip great is that when you look at them you're like "yeah that could be a guy I know". You get the sense that any member of Hot Chip could, instead of making great indie dance music, contribute to a popular open-source project or be really good at quoting Futurama episodes

Listened a few times last night, then again tonight... I'm ready to declare this new Geese song something special

(a Eurovision fan, seeing a successful major label artist for the first time) oh, she could definitely be on Eurovision

awfully bold of Aesop Rock to make a bodega-themed album from a city with maybe the worst bodega culture in all of America’s major cities (Portland)

workshopping a karaoke bit where I sing the lyrics to TMBG's "Pet Name" over Fiona Apple's "Criminal" instrumental but the lyrical structure needs a complete rework :(

if you were reasonably certain that you could hear a misprogrammed snare in a song that has 500k views on YouTube by an artist with 600k monthly listeners that is generally fun but obviously (as a result of the snare) now is unlistenable, would you try and contact someone in the song's production team to issue a corrected version on streaming services or do you live a normal, happy life

this is one of the canonical youtube videos btw

there should be a ritual that happens when I make a post that includes a new tag that will have... implications later (the first tag for an artist, or else a bit that I am thinking of doing)
