ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Chromeo

chromeo.jpg

In an ideal world, Chromeo’s Dave 1 would be President of the United States (and Poet Laureate — after all, he IS getting his Ph.D. in 18th century French literature at Columbia). And P-Thugg would be VP. And together, as post-disco electro-dance-pop two-stepping twosome Chromeo, they’d fill their cabinet with Dave’s brother, DJ A-Trak, (who’s Kanye’s turntablist), Prince, Bobby Brown (old-school Bobby though), Cameo, Rockwell, James Murphy and the both of the guys from Justice.

All of Congress would be replaced by guys doing the Robot and the Hustle.

The new law of the land would require men to wear fitted grey suits and chunky gold chains at all times.

“Chro-me-o” would be chanted at sports arenas.

She’s In Control and Fancy Footwork would be required study at music conservatories across the world.

’80s keyboard solos would be piped into cube farms, classrooms and dining establishments and would play on cue every time something awesome happened.

Vocoder lessons would be given for free at public libraries.

The two-step would be the official dance move of America.

Tight disco-funk would reign supreme.

And peace in the Middle East would finally be achieved.

Get a glimpse of how this new world will look when Chromeo’s in control, and watch all of Chromeo’s TV spots here.

  34. I am sick and tired of the plague known as MTV taking a band with talent, and smearing them across their shoe of which the channel consists of. Please, please go away, or at the very least please change the name of the channel. It should be RTV (Reality TV). Just because you have some of the crappiest music going on today playing in your shows, doesn't give you the right to call yourselves MTV. You make me all sick and please go away. Oh yeah, Chromeo ROCKS, and it is sad that they would even appear on your station.

    Sincerely, The city of Portland, OR
  35. One more thing from the city of Portland, OR. This goes out to whomever is posting these "slang" or "trendy" vocabulary. I am sure most of you think you are being "cool" or "clever", but let me tell you this. No one will ever think this. No one. I promise. Use of the English language should be taken seriously, and people who speak like this are often mistaken for a complete jack ass. It is not intelligent nor is it by any way funny. You just sound stupid. So for the sake of our future in this country, please stop. Stop now. IT IS STUPID.

    Once again this is the city of Portland, OR
  36. chromeo is pretty good

    but i agree with max
  37. i like this band...old school meets the new...and for those of you who feel the need to post the fact that you think MTV sucks...uuum if you think its so bad what the heck are you doing on their site?
  38. please play more videos and invite me to studio, 34yom that watches mtv daily i really do love and releate to it,
  39. i lovee these guyss!!! where is there song mommas boyy???
  40. please post their commercial tid-bits. i'm addicted but i cant sit around all day watching mtv waiting for these guys to show up....
    u'll get plenty of traffic, i swear
  41. Jeez Max, I didn't even think of that. Well, as long as the music is getting out who cares if a bunch of douches start listening to the music too? At least people won't think you're "weird" for liking (what was once)a small band no one has (had) heard of. Enough with the pretentiousness, good music belongs to everyone, even the ?@*$@@* bros!
  42. Hah, mtv is so gay, they automatically block out the word a hole. Well, it is really a channel for tween girls and retards who have no life. Still, good music should be getting out to people however possible.
