Get the Dance Party Started Already!

So I'm officially transforming my dorm room into the ultimate dance party dorm room, initially it was simply a black light, but since then, I've mounted the strobe light, acquired a laser light show (random laser designs projected on the wall), and am currently awaiting the fog machine and mass glowsticks (& glow bracelets) to arrive via mail in the near future. I promise to post pictures, but that's my current exciting project.

As for the review, it would only be suitable on this day to review the new Hot Chip album,

Hot Chip- Made in the Dark 8.0
The thing that amazes me about Hot Chip is that they make great dance electronic accompanied by voices, yet it's not to the point where the vocals make into a vocal trance bastardization, nor are they so electronic as to classify them into some House-like group, it's simply fantastic. Among some of the top songs on this album that truly impressed me, the biggest stand out would have to be "Shake a Fist", from the initial section with it's catchy hook, to the spaztic noise of "sounds of the studio game" that solidified it as my favorite track on the album, it's just a great song. Possibly the catchiest song in my honest opinion on the album would be none other than "Wrestlers" which will have you singing "me versus you in love" for the rest of the week! My final "stand out" track is "Don't Dance" and seems only mediocre to me for the first half, but in the second half, it's completely fantastic and makes you want to disobey the title oh so badly. Thus, if there's any electronic album you plan on getting in the next 6 months this one is probably it!

On another note, I'm really considering going to Bonnaroo this year, and if it's anything like the artist line-up Coachella has this year, I may shit my pants.
