Hot Chip is Hot Garbage.

[Brother McDuff]

Some review on the mix-up mentioned something like, "the beasties should be paying attention to modern funkateers (that are in turn supposedly influenced by the beastie's funky jams) such as Hot Chip, etc., ect., ect., to maintain a forefront status on where contemporary funk-pop music is going." not exactly in those words.

anywho, i love funk music, and like to keep somewhat up to date with what's going on in contemporary music. so for my traditional, wild-card, random cd purchase for the month (a cd by someone ive never heard before, based on even the slightest evidence that i may dig it), i picked up a Hot Chip album.

this is the least funky album ive ever heard in my life, not to mention completely retarded in general. i guess there are a couple melodies and harmonies that are exceptional, but overall the music and lyrics are complete crap. this is the type of shit that keeps me from checking out new popular music for months at a time. blechhh.......(n):eek:(n)

one could say i didn't like it because it wasn't what i was expecting, but i consider myself particularly open minded to all types of shit. i gave it a chance. then i threw it out.

Saw Hot Chip at Coachella and it was dancey and that's about it. I had heard lots of good things about them before hand too. I think it'll all blow over soon...

the music that Hot Chip are putting out is far more interesting than anything the Beastie Boys have released in nearly a decade.

anyway, I think you're taking the funk mention far too literally/narrowly.

I find the reactions of Beastie Boys fans towards the poor reviews the new album is gaining to be hillarious.

It's like, "how dare they give the Beastie Boys a bad review! It's just not possible!".

The fact that you've taken the time to check out Hot Chip and completely slate them following a critic's assumption shows me that you are taking your Beastie Boys fandom a little too seriously.

you're completely wrong. i checked them out because a reviewer said they were funky. My choice to buy it and opinion has nothing to do with the beastie boys other than i heard something about hot chip in a review for the mix-up.

me thinking hot chip makes boring, uninspired music has nothing to do with the beastie boys getting bad reviews. if anything i'm mostly shocked that some guy who's job is to know and critique music writes that a band makes a certain kind of music that it doesn't, in turn making me waste my money on something i dont even dig.
