What are you doing Hot Chip?

Let’s face it, we all know something is wrong. Whether it be music, the economy, or dining options, everyone knows things are off. I’m of the opinion this universal feeling that things suck can all be traced back to one root cause, but I have no idea what that might be. What I can say with 100% certainty is Hot Chip is wrong. They’re awful. They’re horrible monsters that must be killed before things can be made right again.

I have no doubt that these homely looking fellows are talented - they craft catchy tunes that may have a long shelf life - but that is the problem. They are talented and they are homely. They aren’t innovative, groundbreaking, or attractive.

They are standard. They’re the person you settle for because you’re too intimidated by someone better. They’re the $.99 toilet paper. They’re Mary Ann. And there isn’t anything “wrong” with that, but it certainly isn’t the best thing since sliced bread (which I suppose is white bread).

They’re also way too white. Just listen to that cover they did of Sensual Seduction.
