I’m going away again for a bit, and will be back on Monday.

Here are a couple of ear hugs to last you until then.

First up is a song from the new Hot Chip album. They’re mostly known for dance-floor grooves, but they also have a serious knack for the slower, soulful stuff. Here’s proof.

Hot Chip - Made In The Dark from Made In The Dark (insound / amazon CD / amazon mp3 / itunes)

And then this one should get you up and hopping around like an idiot. It’s from “the second-most punk rock band in Britain!”

Los Campesinos! are one of those bands that makes you think that being in their band must be the most fun thing that anyone could ever do. The second-most fun thing would be going to see them play. Touring now, in SF on 6/6.

(this song’s got a long intro, so stick with it now, youngster…)

Los Campesinos! - You! Me! Dancing! from Hold On Now, Youngster… (amazon mp3 / itunes / preorder CD from insound)
