for serious man, you really gotta calm the FUCK down.
not EVERYTHING is meant to be taken literally in life you know?
i'm actually very curious to know where you're from you complete "idiot wanker"... seriously, tell me. and while you're at it, why don't you take a stab at where i'm from? because it'll shock you, it's not the fucking US you total prick. not everyone with an american accent is from there.
seriously, learn to grow a freaking sense of humour. i'm not shitting on anyone's culture. because i fucking love canada. and yes, i was being deliberately flippant, because that's how i write. and because i like to provoke reaction (to a point you total psycho). HOWEVER, for you to fly off the handle and make completely unfounded assumptions about who i am, where i'm from, or how i think based on a mediocre and deliberately over-the-top comment in a review on a FUCKING WEBSITE really tells me that you seriously spend too much time worrying about your own little utopian world, where senses of humour don't exist. and that you probably spend a lot of time wanking.
ahem.

want that scrawled on my tombstone -
"here lies chris, deliberately flippant"

my friend, sarcasm.
it most definitely isn't big or clever. it just sucks.

prick

messing dude
to be honest, the only reason i didn't go into any real detail on the new tunes is because all the new stuff is pretty much the same as the old stuff. i know that's a really annoying thing to say, but it's the truth... it's the same sound as before, with a little more "oooomph" if you know what i mean. heavier bass lines, harder hitting drums, etc - but they still maintain the ability to take all those elements and package them into well-rounded pop songs. catchy choruses, twangy guitars... you know, the same sorta schtick.
and that's EXACTLY WHY i didn't really go into detail. thought it would be boring.
aside from that, the only way i can best sum up their performance was how i put it: they obviously were having a very good time. but really, i mean let's face it, it's not like Hot Chip are gonna be like the Discordance Axis or anything, are they? they're just like a lot of other bands live, but it's their attitude that's different, engaging, and refreshing.
so there's my two cents.

you know what else is painfully amateurish?

new material - myspace.com/hotchip
performance:
They begin by assaulting the crowd with pounding tribal percussion, and all the sweaty teenagers and crappy hipsters begin to forget who they are – and the fact that they’re not cool enough to be hipsters – losing themselves like true dweebs in the rhythm of Hot Chip’s music. And the quintet are absolutely fantastic, showing the audience that they’re thrilled to have sold out this venue, and not just because of the mega-bucks, but because they all obviously really love what they do - and want us to love it, too. As they continue to play a set that is almost entirely comprised of new material, I can’t help but think how nice it is to see a band that actually look as though they’re having a good time, instead of the usual miserable bastards I see live.

that is honestly so lame.
no offense, but i don't think that DiS are trying to "broaden their appeal", because honestly, there is so little hip hop/pop music on this website that i really doubt anybody who's into either is suddenly going to give a shit about drowned in sound's take on their favorite records.
DiS has already established itself as a rock music website - but maybe it doesn't hurt to try and review other music? as in, given the world's current artistic/musical climate, maybe DiS is trying to diversify their content so as not to be ignorant towards the thousands of other records outside of the rock circle that are affecting and influencing rock music on a much less recognized or appreciated level
so put that in your purist pipe and smoke it

lame

i'm sure as fuck in.
