FEATURED: Coachella Playlist

 

Coachella is this weekend, which means the summer festival season is officially upon us. Also, for some, an excuse to get naked and pretend you’re a wizard. If you can’t make the desert sojourn, you can at least recreate the experience elsewhere via this playlist (minus the oppressive heat and general dishevelment). Contained within are fifteen songs from Major LazerPhoenixHot Chip, and others who are set to perform, with the sad and glaring omission of The Specials, whose discography you should already own anyway.

Digital Stocking Stuffer - The New Hot Chip EP

On Monday, 12/22/08, the undeniably fun Hot Chip will release four songs on the new EP with Robert Wyatt & Geese. The songs on this EP were chosen from the band’s album ‘Made In The Dark’ by Robert Wyatt and re-recorded together in London earlier this year, Hot Chip’s old friends and collaborators Geese (aka Emma and Vince from The Elysian Quartet) also lent a hand to create this stunning new arrangement.
