They covered New Order's "Temptation" at Coachella.

they've been doing that for a while now - they did the same "No Fit State" -> "Temptation" trick a year ago. it's still awesome as hell, though.
― jamescobo, Monday, 28 April 2008 23:03 (sixteen years ago) link
I still like their "Crap Kraft Dinner" -> Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere"

Hmm, have gone back to Boy from School tonight for some reason, and now I can't stop listening to it. The programming is pretty brilliant on that track.
Also, I heard them when they were guest dj-ing on some BBC radio thing, and they played some pretty amazing stuff. I wish I had even the slightest clue as to what any of it was. I could sure use me some sweet sweet techno sounds tonight, though...

Amazing how Ready For The Floor has become a proper pop floor filler. Played it last night and people just went mental.

dell ill upload a the to diff versions of them doing 'boy from school' later. they rework that song a lot and the two i have are v. different but great
― J0rdan S., Monday, 26 May 2008 01:01 (sixteen years ago) link
wow
dell ill upload two diff versions**

dell you may be thinking of their essential mix from last year.

this is a 7 min live version from the bonus disc of the new album. really good audio. http://www.zshare.net/audio/12576326eeadfca4/
this is an acoustic version from a bbc session i think and it just kills me everytime http://www.zshare.net/audio/1257647696475ed5/

Anyone else heard the Alexis Taylor album?
― Treblekicker, Monday, 27 October 2008 22:48 (fifteen years ago) link
I haven't, but re: hot chip, I love the bit about a minute into "ready for the floor" when the chord changes and it shifts from a "track" to a "song".
― aaron d.g., Tuesday, 28 October 2008 00:02 (fifteen years ago) link
holy crap. they have a song w/robert wyatt!

apparently they have a cover of a vampire weekend song sung by peter gabriel also. :-/
the musics really good on their VW cover but not sure about the vocals.

not sure about PG's vocals? whaaaaaa

Love the Gabriel cover, was really stoked for the Wyatt collab but on first listen it's rather underwhelming and not Wyattesque enough.
― Billy Dods, Thursday, 18 December 2008 22:30 (fifteen years ago) link
The Wyatt collab is zzzzzz

cutty sent me this, its pretty dope, i had to listen to it a couple times, i think its better than the original
― beyonc'e (max), Friday, 19 December 2008 01:27 (fifteen years ago) link
id like their r kelly tribute/pisstake if it had slightly more genuine lyrics and not lines like 'aiming for your loins'.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Sunday, 21 December 2008 21:05 (fifteen years ago) link
otherwise, the music (kinda like tvotr on blind meets prince) kills me.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Sunday, 21 December 2008 21:06 (fifteen years ago) link
i need a whole album of hot chip and peter gabriel
― cutty, Sunday, 21 December 2008 21:16 (fifteen years ago) link
So I am finally listening to Hot Chip for the first time ever.

First track on The Warning is fucking horrible. Next three very enjoyable.
made in the dark is better, thought stylus always overrated the warning a bit
"boy from school" is their best song tho
― strøm thurmond (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 2 April 2009 08:57 (fifteen years ago) link
"the warning" (the song) is one of their best songs too
Neither are exactly perfect all the way through - The Warning is patchy in the first half and really picks up in the second half and its more delicate moments are gorgeous. Made In The Dark begins awesomely and then they start fannying around with stupid comedy nonsense like The Wrestlers and it falls apart.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 2 April 2009 09:03 (fifteen years ago) link
their delicate moments are always the best, i love the ballads on made in the dark
― strøm thurmond (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 2 April 2009 09:06 (fifteen years ago) link

― Yellow Carded (titchyschneiderMk2), Thursday, 2 April 2009 09:11 (fifteen years ago) link
I got both The Warning and MitD for £5 a piece.
What else is worth hearing; early EPs?
― Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 2 April 2009 09:18 (fifteen years ago) link
First album, Coming On Strong, is really good. Better than Made In The Dark.
― nate woolls, Thursday, 2 April 2009 09:19 (fifteen years ago) link
Their entry in the DJ Kicks series is almost worth hearing for their track 'My Piano', classic old school piano house banger.
― Alan Shearer's illegitimate, he ain't got no coaching certificate (Billy Dods), Thursday, 2 April 2009 09:20 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i love my piano, was hoping the whole of made in the dark would be as good as that
― just sayin, Thursday, 2 April 2009 09:27 (fifteen years ago) link
first album is smug duff crud. plus it hung out in my girlfriends cd changer for about 2 years ruining every long car journey in this period. I liked the warning as it seemed theyd risen above the too smart to dance fanboy toss of the first and made a decent sounding album. boy from school had some good remixes. the last one is rubbish though, i also saw them in germany last summer and they were behaving like a bunch of bloody primadonnas because the fat one who hardly sings mic wasnt working

"i need a whole album of hot chip and peter gabriel"
^^^^it is both better than the VW version and better than any other Hot Chip song that I've heard.

I never listened to A Bugged Out Mix by Hot Chip from earlier in the year, so I wasn't familiar with "Take it In" before now, but a single version of it has went leaky and I'm really loving it.
Next album due in Feb '10 apparently?
