I Found A Love I Had Lost…

RIP, Vidal Sassoon. You were a true visionary and a gentleman with style.
RIP, Adam Yauch. I’m in shock. Words cannot express my sadness.
Bobby Womack’s new track is so beautiful, it breaks my heart with every listen. (Love Damon Albarn’s production work.)

Working Night & Day…
James Brown was known as “the hardest working man in show business”. This title could be amended for Hot Chip as they might be the hardest working band in the game.

Hot Chip have a new label (Domino) and a new full-length release (In Our Heads) out on June 11th. I love how their sound ranges from electro, to disco, through house + beyond. One aspect that sets this band apart is the warmth of Alexis Taylor’s vocal delivery.
As if being in Hot Chip wouldn’t keep you busy enough, the members manage to find time for other musical collaborations through New Build and The 2 Bears.
“Flutes” is already on heavy rotation in my setlist. With “Night and Day” being the official 1st single, Hot Chip’s fifth studio album is gearing up to be the soundtrack of summer 2012. Their summer tour will guarantee you ‘ll be ready for the floor. (“Let’s Sweat” indeed!)
These slipmats were made for me. They encapsulate my love of vinyl. (It’s nice to have something tangible in a virtual world.) Designed by Henry Owings/Chunklet.

Tanlines
— All of Me
Spring is finally upon us and the weather is warming up along with new music to fuel the celebrations. Tanlines are a Brooklyn duo comprised of Eric Emm (of Don Cabb) and Jesse Cohen (formerly of local favorites Professor Murder.) Their album Mixed Emotions drops on March 20th via True Panther. This track is proof that there are always second acts and the party doesn’t have to end.
