thoughts on this? less hipsteur cheese, more collectro authenticity type shit, more r&b less pop than chromeo, i don't think i like it quite as much tho. Still some great songs on it (omg "too young to love")
― deej, Sunday, 1 July 2007 06:46 (sixteen years ago) link
more revivalism, less pastiche
"I'm Your Paradise" is prob the best song actually

Chromeo playing for free in SF. I have been digging this for months now and will probably check it, seeing its around the corner from my work. http://www.mezzaninesf.com/calendar.asp

that 'tenderoni' joint is awesome. i wasn't so into the last record but i might get the new one.
― haitch, Tuesday, 3 July 2007 05:31 (sixteen years ago) link

bf just saw them in williamsburg, had a good time even tho it was barely tolerable, venue wise
― Surmounter, Monday, 9 July 2007 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
There is a pre-self-titled album mix floating around called "le mix." Obligatory Klymaxx, Cameo, etc., but some other good stuff. I'm going to the show this saturday @ empty bottle (fits 7.5 people), should be riot-inducing.
― valoss, Monday, 9 July 2007 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah thats where i'll be
― deej, Monday, 9 July 2007 19:21 (sixteen years ago) link
Going to see them in a couple of days, LOVED needy girl and some of the rest of that album grew on me... hopefully will be a good time! (venue is kind of budget but not lacking in space)

i enjoy the hipster cheese of it. its certainly a part of the appeal
i dont think anyone would argue this is as great as roger troutman or something
― deej, Thursday, 12 July 2007 18:33 (sixteen years ago) link
also chicks dig on this
― max, Thursday, 12 July 2007 18:36 (sixteen years ago) link
look im not hating just cuz hipster douchebags or whatever (my gf likes hot chip) but unless you own every 80s r&b 12" ever produced theres no excuse to waste time on the vice magazine edition
― and what, Thursday, 12 July 2007 18:36 (sixteen years ago) link
for the price of 1 chromeo record you could buy 15 dollar bin classics
i d***loaded the chromeo record and will gladly see cameo if i catch them touring for 12 dollars
― deej, Thursday, 12 July 2007 18:41 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i dont know that id necessarily spend $$ on this but i dont really have a problem w/ this kind of pastiche/revival/whatever; id take zapp over these guys any day but ive heard more bounce to the ounce about six million times
― max, Thursday, 12 July 2007 18:46 (sixteen years ago) link
plus if i can use them to get babes into lisa lisa & cult jam then im all for it
― max, Thursday, 12 July 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link
There's something about the best parts of the new one, though, that don't really feel like pastiche -- god knows how, since every individual element seems like pastiche, but there's something about the whole that winds up feeling to me a bit like the difference between Daft Punk and whatever Daft Punk are sampling. (I.e., not really different in content, but somehow vastly different in feel and application and whatnot.)
― nabisco, Thursday, 12 July 2007 18:51 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah and even on the point about shows, cuet girls go to chromeo shows and formerly-cuet 30/40-somethings go to SOS Band reunions
is there an sos band reunion? i would go to that too probably
― deej, Thursday, 12 July 2007 18:54 (sixteen years ago) link
i dont think they ever broke up
― strongohulkington, Thursday, 12 July 2007 18:59 (sixteen years ago) link
i would like to take my mom to a chromeo show. she would be a good bellweather to their fidelity and authenticity

i think im saying i like it because hipster douchebags. hipstersploitation

I like most of the songs but some of them are duds. I get embarrassed when the female voice comes on about the telephone number. Great legs on the cover though.
― Maria :D, Friday, 13 July 2007 02:49 (sixteen years ago) link
I like this a lot, except for the Momma's Boy song.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 18:35 (sixteen years ago) link
going to see these guys @ the echo next thursday
― max, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 18:58 (sixteen years ago) link

― deej, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:01 (sixteen years ago) link
haha deej im glad youve caught on to why i like chromeo
― max, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:09 (sixteen years ago) link
see also: why i owned dave matthews band "crash"
― max, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:11 (sixteen years ago) link
tho i listen to chromeo by myself way more than i ever listened to dave
haha i totally suspected you had a dmb past
― deej, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:12 (sixteen years ago) link
no offense
― deej, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:13 (sixteen years ago) link
none taken, im finally able to admit that 90% of the music i listen to i choose specifically to attract girls.
― max, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:15 (sixteen years ago) link
i am so far pretty unsuccessful.
I like the first album better, but the new one is definitely fun. They're playing for free on Monday here in SF as part of a going.com promo. Probably be tons of people there I guess.
― Dare, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:18 (sixteen years ago) link
show was really fun. girls got on the stage and danced with them. P played drums on a girls butt.
― jaxon, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 18:08 (sixteen years ago) link
funnnn show

My roommate got Chromeo in the mail, not every 80s 12" R&B ever produced so I've been listening to the former. :(
― da croupier, Sunday, 2 September 2007 12:51 (sixteen years ago) link
if 00s R&B actually sounded like 80s R&B...
― blueski, Sunday, 2 September 2007 12:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Really didn't expect Chromeo to be the first people to be given a shot at the Lorde single, but I'm quite taken with this:

"Jealous" got a lot of mainstream and background music play... good for them. The album went to #11.
― skip, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 22:31 (seven years ago) link
this is so pleasant, and works great next to the Calvin Harris songs on my summer playlist (which is still funny to meānever would have believed a year ago would be a statement that made any sense)
― austinb, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 13:48 (seven years ago) link
hmm maybe calvin harris and chromeo will start the Premature Bloghouse Revival That Was Foretold
― austinb, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 13:49 (seven years ago) link
I'd really love for Chromeo to become bigger stars now that even Bruno Mars has stole their thunder.

it seems amazing that in the post-Uptown Funk world Chromeo are still a second-tier act but then you see a video like that and it all makes sense
