While critical reactions to Hot Chip's third album Made in the Dark have been mixed, the album's go-for-broke approach to pop eclecticism seems to be a hit with music fans -- the last time the 'Chip hit town, it was at La Sala Rossa only a year and a half ago, promoting their breakthrough release The Warning. This time around, they sold out the 2300-capacity Metropolis -- a mixed blessing, as while it's nice to see love for the band, it's easily one of my least favorite venues to negotiate.

I wish someone had bought me a “drank” or a bottle before I sat through this show. Many people warned me about going to it. They said, “Lindsay, it will be T-Pain singing along over his own voice,” or “he won’t sing very well because of his voice being so digitalized.”

As I entered La Tulipe on Sunday April 13th, I immediately got a feeling of anticipation. It came from behind the black doors that lead to the main room. The thumping beat emanating from behind those doors was a sign and I followed it into the packed main room. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Saul Williams!
