summertime music is starting to arrive by the boatloads… stay tuned for (lots) more.
in the meantime here’s one of ‘em – and is it just me or is this new UNDERWORLD track kinda reminiscent of a sped-up, drum-and-bassy SKINS theme track? i’m diggin’ it, but i think that may be the main reason why.

the track that keeps coming back and haunting my dreams at night…

Hot Chip – I Feel Better
Hot Chip | MySpace Music Videos
i like what TRENDCENTRAL has to write about the latest HOT CHIP video…
Hot Chip’s “I Feel Better”, directed by comedian Peter Serafinowicz – is comedian/music video director the “slash/slash” job of the moment? – this video may be writing the new rules of what makes a music video go viral. First, it re-imagines the electropop group as a cheesy boy band, complete with sexy eyes and synchronized hips, immediately capturing fans’ attention within the first ten seconds. But then the video strays from the surreal boy band formula by introducing a hovering, glowing head shooting lasers from his eyes, killing members of the band, audience and even the typical music video formula. All of this happens in under three minutes, leaving little down time for the ADHD generation to look at their Facebook pages without missing something.
now officially out on his own, since Caralee McElroy wandered full-time over to COLD CAVE, Jamie Stewart (aka XIU XIU) post the title “Dear God I Hate Myself” on his latest release that we seem to have slept on last month…
it is however still a beautiful bowlful of an epiphonous caucophony if we ever heard one.

besides the obvious “FINALLY!”, another word that sums up my emphatic luading for the release of this would be “YESSSSS!!!”.
if you need more “background” on this – the trailer might sum it up better than me taking on a “how dare you not know who THE RUNWAYS are?” tone while trying to give you the summary anyway…
