This new act called Hot Chip has a song called "Down With Prince"

Now, at first glance of the CD I'm thinking these guys are protesting Prince and his legacy. But then I actually heard the song and it was kinda cool. It sounded kinda funky in it's own stripped down electro/synth/beatbox kinda way. But it's not actualy a protest song. The lyrics are basically about the author being sick of folks who claim to be "down with Prince". And then he goes on to reminisce about when he was a baby and Prince wrote songs for Vanity 6. It was pretty funny. lol But check out that CD though. It's not bad. wink

It was on picasso's (the orger)
list of good electro stuff last
year...

He had a lot of good music on
that list!

Another fun track was Mylo's
'Destroy Rock'n'Roll'
where a sampled voice blames
Prince, the Time and Appollonia 6
(amongst other 80s acts)
for degrading America's morality.

Thank you, picasso!
