Hot Chip are one of the true wonders of creation. Historically important across the aeons of time.

Florence is just shit, awful, ineffectual, thoroughly untuneful and uninteresting, unworthy of any attention, a sideshow for floundering idiots.

Hot Chip are fantastic. The first band since the Mondays to create something that is totally individual and original. Plus they manage to wrap it all up in really fun pop songs. After New Order and Depeche Mode, Hot Chip are the band I would most like to see at Glasto.

For my sins I do like the 2nd Florence album.

I dunno if these sort of sweeping generalisations do anything much bar give Hot Chip's detractors something to giggle over.

I will rephrase it then. Hot Chip are the 1st band that I have heard since the Mondays that sound totally original and individual.

holy crap this hyperbole about hot chip! They were fun before the flaming lips the other year but that's about it.

The flaming lips absolutely blew them away too, as expected.

To be fair though The Flaming Lips have been going a lot longer than Hot Chip and have a far more extensive back catalogue to call on.Plus they had longer on stage to showcase it and people would have been a lot more smashed by the the time Flaming Lips came on.

that extra hours drinking made all the difference!

But I dont wanna trash hot chip, I really enjoyed them and hope they play again.

    • Now we’ll see if Israel are actually capable of winding their necks in    I doubt it 
    • Policing is very relaxed, provided you stay within your lines I'd say. I don't think we're supposed to have an event shelter as well as a tent next to our van, but we've done it without issue for years. It's a happy vibe up there.
    • Do feel a lot more cynical about the Mercury now. Given the awards show is now an arena event, there's clearly a pressure on them to nominate mainstream acts in order to sell tickets for it. And not saying that Jade and Knats don't deserve to be nominated (haven't listened to either), but the fact the event is in Newcastle can't have nothing to do with that... (not to mention Fender winning last year, which frankly was a joke)    Hard not to agree with this: https://www.clashmusic.com/features/this-years-mercury-prize-is-a-pivot-towards-the-mainstream/
