New Music: Hot Chip - Made In The Dark Preview
Yep, the new lp will be in stores in a few weeks and you can preview it (if you're crafty with google). While a full review will follow i have to say that I'm really impressed, it's both a great follow up to The Warning and at the same time very new sounding.

New Music (Overlooked Edition): Ultra Orange & Emmanuelle
If you saw the film The Diving Bell and The Butterfly then you probably have heard at least one song by this great French band. If you haven't then, simply put, they are a French english language band that is doing a very cool Velvet Underground revival thing. They put out their self titled debut LP last year and I don't know how they haven't gotten any coverage in North America...if you need more proof check out the video for "Sing Sing":
