Um.
Chromeo is in two days.
I am TRYING desperately (and failing) to avoid winding myself up too much.
This biddy doesn't go to shows too terribly frequently, but when she does, she goes to shows.
Please refer to: Decemberists 2006, Flaming Lips/Roots Bonnaroo 2007, WHY? 2008, etc.
Why do I love Chromeo so much and essentially never shut up about them? Because I am still on a sweaty high from that blazing fury of dance magic that was their 2007 show out on the Bacchus patio. The one with Shives y Troy, and that...dame...who was a bent-at-the-waist HOT MESS, and that champ with the mustache (eep!), and the floor that was warping so wildly from all the dancing that when I stood still, it bounced me up and down on its own.
Chromeo is self-aware, and freaking RIDICULOUS, and they sound like skiing on rainbows in space, wearing clothing designed by Lisa Frank, inside the world of GTA Vice City.
BAM!
"Does analog synth wizard P-Thugg still rock nightgown-sized DipSet t-shirts, talk through a keyboard, and have the thousand-yard stare of a well-practiced gangster? You bet he fucking does. Does vocalist and guitarist Dave 1 still dress like a French Lit professor from 1965? Can he still ask you to twerk without coming off like an imposter? You better believe he can."
"Fancy Footwork will put any vestigial haters to sleep forever. There ain’t nothing “ironical” about this music. It’s Hall & Oates riding on 22’s, busting shots in the air with Quincy Jones driving. That shit ain’t funny."
Too. Good.
