Max Tundra – Playboy (Hot Chip Cover)

What? Nooo.. LCD Soundsystem might be no more, the socio-political conscience of electro-punk might be gone. Where will we find someone that great again? (pun soo intended). Well we can’t go to Digitalism or Crystal Castles, that’s for sure. And by the way, doesn’t Crystal Castles like steal a lot of samples from Lo-Bat and stuff like that?

Anywho, this is a cover by Max Tundra of Hot Chips Playboy, the living cult-figure. Look what Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy had so say about him:

“Max and I met in Barcelona in 2005 at Primavera Sound.  His slot was  at 4am. He put on a mask, wrapped himself up in tape, and played  forty minutes of music made mostly using Amiga sample tracker software  from the late 1980s.  There was virtuosic melodica playing, Pointer Sisters-style singing, and an eight-minute version of “So Long,  Farewell” from The Sound Of Music. I was wasted and ended up passing out on a beach in my underwear. When the sun rose, I woke up with dried meringue and sand glued to my hair, and in a daze, I realized that I had just witnessed nothing less than the best music performance of my life.”
