New Hot Chip Video - "Wrestlers"

This third video from Hot Chip's Made In The Dark LP features James Murphy. In case you forgot, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem fame is a DFA honcho and noted jujitsu master, of which he reminds us by wearing a DFA tee and annihilating a punching bag. Meanwhile, the Hot Chip dudes play with their "love is a wrestling match" metaphors with ring mics, garbage bag workout outfits, and championship belts. Also there lyrical references to steel cage matches, which reminds me: Jimmy Superfly Snuka is a man that exists. And is insane. And can fly.

Hot Chip's Made In The Dark is out via Astralwerks / DFA.

they're also fighting over Al Doyle, who LCD filtched for their Sound of Silver tour...though nothing really seems to get resolved. Good setup, but not much follow-through.

I dunno if this is old news or not, but James Murphy is the new QB for the Jets.
