Around the World with A-Trak, Part IX
- story THE FADER
Join The FADER’s newest weekly columnist, A-Trak, who will be sharing with us the life and times of a superstar DJ and globetrotting gentleman. His column is called Around the World until he tells us otherwise.
Part IX: V-necks, Canada, Obscure Disorder, Chromeo, American Thanksgiving
Video: Chromeo, “Momma’s Boy”
- story THE FADER
We’ve said it before, and they’re forcing us to say it again with this video. Where is Chromeo getting the money for this and who do we have to write blog posts for to get some of it? Is it Kanye? Because we will write some shit about chairs if we have to.
Chromeo Is For The Children
- story THE FADER
There’s not a ton of info about Chromeo’s forthcoming appearance on Yo Gabba Gabba! other than this incredible photo they just posted on their MySpace. But we’re gonna go out on a limb and hypothesize that, even if Dave and Pee’s guest appearance doesn’t reach Stevie on Sesame Street levels of children’s broadcasting excellence (jeez, could anything?), it will rank about even with previous YGG! cameos, which have included the likes of Biz Markie and Paper Rad, and be waaaaaaay more fun for the youth of today than REM singing with Telly Monster.
Video: Chromeo, “Fancy Footwork”
- story THE FADER
Remember those weird double-jointed robot legs in the pumps and bootie shorts from “Rockit”? And how they made the two robot dudes in the chair pop hydraulic boners? We’re not saying Chromeo stole any ideas here, but we are saying there are weird pumped and bootie-shorted legs in this video and dudes’s privates are largely hidden from view. SUSPECT.
