A lot of people ask me ‘Carles… which trends are gonna be around 4ever?’  That’s an incredibly relevant question to most of our existences.  We must spend money in order to buy things that represent us, but finding something that will accurately represent our personal brands for more than 1 year is extremely difficult in ‘The Internet Age.’

Child Predator Glasses are one of the most era-transcendent accessories that you can purchase.  They have been around for a long time, and they will probably be around for the next 20 years, until doctors start to prescribe Medical Shutter Shades.  After the recent ‘EconoCrisis’, we’re all just looking to spend money on things that will last longer, instead of wasting them on Macbooks, consumables, and arts&crafts.  Investing in glasses is investing in your health + adding 10 or more years to your alternative social life.

I think one day we will look back and realize that the lead singer of Hot Chip was one of the most important people in the history of the Serial Kiler/Child Predator Glasses Movement.

In this picture, he has the gaze of a man trapped in a society that doesn’t understand the complexity of his social and emotional needs.

What’s up with Hot Chip? I feel like after their video for “Over and Over,” they have already proven ‘We know how to use green screens really well,” so the video for “Ready For the Floor” left them with the challenge of finding some other over-visual concept they would try to relate to the song.

If you’re going to use the HORIZONTALLY SCROLLING BANDMEMBERS effect, they better be as hot and charming as Au Revoir Simone in Shinichi Osawa’s “Star Guitar.”
FINAL VERDICT: “Well, at least this video gives me an excuse to post a Cut Copy MP3.” -music bloggers

Cut Copy: They pretty much don’t know how to write a song that sucks.

In case you wanted to know more about his personal life, here is his situation in a familiar format:

MC Steinberg’s interview with Hot Chip is even better than a James Lipton interview. One highlight of the interview is when MC Steinberg asks that one dude with wacky glasses in Hot Chip where he got his wacky glasses. HIGHLY REC’CD:

New Year’s Resolutions:
1. Search for meaning.
2. Be a better blogger
3. Take life seriously enough to blog about.
4. Embrace the power of the blogosphere
5. Convince others to back up their hard drives

Songs of the day:

Party Time 2000 – Miss New Booty (Party Time 2000 Remix)
This is a song about searching for meaning.

Renewal Plan vs Party Time 2000 – Elizabethtown
This is a song about douche bags who shop at Whole Foods while searching for meaning. Please feel free to comment: Do you prefer Patagonia or North Face? This was also the last song that Saddam Hussein listened to before he died. Does any one know what Saddam’s last meal was? Timothy McVeigh had an all-dessert last meal.

Hot Chip – So Glad To See You
Hot Chip’s songs are deeper than the Postal Service and Dntel combined. In ‘So Glad To See You’, Hot Chip effectively honors Generation Y’s desire to find love that matches the intensity of the connection between Zach Braff and Natalie Portman in 1999’s Hit Movie ‘Garden State.’
