That popping sound you heard in the distance was actually Pitchfork’s collective scrotums. While they clean up the mess, please listen to the stream of Hot Chip w/Peter Gabriel covering Vampire Weekend’s “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,” on Abeano Music, although honestly, it’s limper than a Graceland outtake (I kinda love me some Graceland). Hot Chip should really cool out on the wtf special releases (see last week’s pairing with Robert Wyatt) and get down to making some new jams (I laugh as I call Hot Chip “jams.”)
