So if you haven't heard this year's The Warning, get on the boat! Hot Chip's sophomore album boasts memorable tracks and leaves both indie kids and clubhoppers drooling for more. The title track lays it all on the line: "Hot Chip will break your legs / Snap off your head." Are you kidding me? Snappy electrobeats and these kinds of lyrics (delivered with absolute dead-pan sincerity) make this one of the this year's best albums so far.
Everyone's favorite d.j. Diplo, who gained quite a bit of notoriety last year for mixing and releasing M.I.A.'s Arular as M.I.A./Diplo's Piracy Funds Terrorism Volume 1 before Arular was even available, is by all counts still on the forefront of the mash-up rage. Diplo posted this remix of one of the catchiest songs from The Warning on his mySpace profile a while back, and it is just infectious. No, seriously. Try playing it at the office or around the roommates and watch how confused everyone gets as they try not to dance.
Most of the song's deliciousness really comes from Hot Chip's brilliance; they get the credit for the fantastic stuff like "K-I-S-S-I-N-G-S-E-X-I-N-G". But adding in a little "Baby work it out" every now and again really spices up that bouncy flavor. What's that other song called? "Bojangles"? By Pitbull? Whatever, you know you love it.
