CHROMEO

haha deej im glad youve caught on to why i like chromeo

see also: why i owned dave matthews band "crash"

tho i listen to chromeo by myself way more than i ever listened to dave

haha i totally suspected you had a dmb past

no offense

none taken, im finally able to admit that 90% of the music i listen to i choose specifically to attract girls.

i am so far pretty unsuccessful.

I like the first album better, but the new one is definitely fun. They're playing for free on Monday here in SF as part of a going.com promo. Probably be tons of people there I guess.

show was really fun. girls got on the stage and danced with them. P played drums on a girls butt.

funnnn show

dude loooks/acts kind of like pre-born to run jewish bruce

I saw them last week. Muy fun.

ugh

i cant believe ppl i respect/tolerate are feeling this garbage

otm

My roommate got Chromeo in the mail, not every 80s 12" R&B ever produced so I've been listening to the former. :(

if 00s R&B actually sounded like 80s R&B...

these days = a bad Felix D H. they sound like they're taking the piss.

how so

i didn't really know who these guys were, but they are on mtv all the time right now like they are the dance ed lover and doctor dre.

really? great, i love 'em.

fuck these guys

: O

xpost I don't think they'd fancy my fat arse. But I quite like their music.

i wasn't sure if they were a comedy troupe or what

the dude who looks like turtle from entourage has a vocoder implant

I love Chromeo.

Props to my homegirl Lorna who turned me on to this shizzle after hearing about it from two groovy guys she worked with in Urban Outfitters in SF.

Tenderoni is good. I could swallow them slightly better if I could be sure they weren't just taking the piss. I mean they could love this sound as much as I do...

i think they have a genuine love of 80s soul and synthfunk. check out their mix on eskimo, they're well into it. i remember when air came out everybody thought they were joking, but a little bit of humour in music isn't such a bad thing anyway. don't be some "OMG, everything is so ironic nowadays" drip.

xpost - please don't post again

Okay (shit!)

Props to my homegirl Lorna who turned me on to this shizzle after hearing about it from two groovy guys she worked with in Urban Outfitters in SF.

you cant make this shit up.

ok, you could.

I was just taking the piss a bit. I don't actually sound like that but whatevs.

So... it appears you can easily.

Chromeo: The Next Crossover Band That We Feel Like We're Not Allowed to Like Any More?

MTV's Buzzworthy Blog features Chromeo this week.

Of course they make amazing music, but maybe it's just going to be annoying when all of the mainstreamers are post-post ironically having fun while listening to Chromeo, and saying "Let's have a party where we dress up like we're in the 1980s." Then you'll log into facebook one Monday morning, and see a bunch of pictures of girls dressed like they are from the 1980s, and having a lot of fun.

So Buzzworthy.

Chromeo's good, but I think the blogosphere will probably focus more on Calvin Harris now that Chromeo is 'no longer ours.'

"Let's have a party where we dress up like we're in the 1980s."

didn't this happen about 3 years ago anyway?

all those mainstreamers

I hate hate hate Calvin Harris. It sounds so cheaply cobbled together.

And yeah, all the art school girls are so past 80's. Its all nu-rave nostalgia. Or so it would seem. I would have thought it a little early, but who am I to judge.

And why would anyone care about someone crossing over into the mainstream?

^^^^^^^^

i would like chromeo, but deej enjoys it because people don't enjoy it because hipster douchebags enjoy it except they don't know because they are on mtv so maybe i do like them. you wouldn't believe how hard it is to smugly contrary sometimes.

I can imagine.

is this stuff out of control yet

i really am having trouble figuring out how to be er 'smugly contrary' or whatever here!!! this is fun but diminishing returns the more of these groups show up i think

something about their willingness to throw every pastiche cliche into it + dudes mj imitation is leaving me feeling very conflicted

hm wow this is good. i guess if you wanna make this type of music— and i guess that's probably where this problem starts, but it's fine w/ me— you might as well jump all the way into the deep end and have a video like this and carry on like they do, or else it seems like your half-assing it, and intense self-conciousness would probably hinder the success of the music.

i guess part of why i stand/actively like stuff like this is because i don't have an intense emotional attachment to the music it so obviously mines, so my immediate reaction isn't "fuck you!"

its really quite well done

i'm just afraid we're getting very close to, i dunno, The Caesars of 80s electro pastiche groups or something

and some things are lost in the sort of lyrical vaguenesses required to keep it 'timeless'
