By Christina Lee on 2:30 PM on August 27, 2009

Teachers may remember to assign summer reading and specify what materials to bring to their classes, but they easily forget which types of experiences matter to most college students: the daydreaming (during class), the sleeping (through class) and ultimately, the drinking (while not in class)....  read more

By Michael Saba on 1:00 PM on May 27, 2009

The boys of Hot Chip are hard at work in the sudio readying a follow-up LP to last year's much-fêted Made in the Dark, as guitarist Al Doyle intimated in a recent interview with Time Out London. What's more, they've cooked up a way to preview that material through a philanthropic project with a unique twist: hidden shows to benefit London's homeless....  read more

By Austin L. Ray on 5:13 PM on November 23, 2008

Each year, I open a fresh Word document and initiate, once more, a war with myself. This year was no exception.

That being said, take a gander at its current iteration:...  read more

Live Review: Hot Chip @ Metro 9/29

By Jaime de'Medici, photography by Laura Gray on 10:56 AM on October 1, 2008

There is an inherent, if not unspoken, risk in electronic-tinged outfits performing live. On one hand, they could turn out to be soulless programming presentations; on the other, studio wizardry can fail to produce any real electricity in concert halls, and could even fail to translate at all. Thankfully, such was not the case on the second evening of Hot Chip's two-night stand at the Metro, where the band took the stage to a comfortably full room of attendees in rapt attention....  read more

Amidst busy and tour-filled year, Hot Chip unloads new EP's

By Loren Lankford on 1:34 PM on September 30, 2008

The boys of Hot Chip sure have had a massively busy 2008. They just put out a new album in February and have been touring ever since. Now, they're talking new EP's, tour dates and songs. Nope, you're not confusing them with Coldplay (though you'd be forgiven, those boys have a lot going on as well.) Hopefully new live drummer Leo Taylor, who recently finished a solo album, isn't ready to run for the hills quite yet....  read more

Despite retirement, M.I.A. schedules Diesel xXx gig in Brooklyn

By David Marek on 9:00 PM on September 24, 2008

Diesel announced today that Sri Lankan singer M.I.A. will be performing at Diesel xXx in Brooklyn. The multi-city concert will take place on Oct. 11 at venues across the glo-- wait, what? Isn't she supposed to be retired? We've been crying tears of unfathomable sorrow ever since Ms. Arulpragasam announced to the world that she was quitting music forever, effective immediately, last month. We wrote the headline "M.I.A. Officially Retires" at the time, but it looks like we need a new one. How about "M.I.A. Is a Big, Stupid Doo-Doo-Head That Can't Stop Toying With Paste's Feelings"? You think we...  read more
