I'm so fortunate to have one of my favourite UK musicians on the show, Mr Alexis Taylor.

A founding member of the now legendary Hot Chip, he's been releasing music for good whee while now and by gosh it's all superb. His clothing choices are also second to none. The man marches to the beat of his own drum machine.

I REALLY hope you're not aware of Alexis thus far so you get to experience the joy of opening up his catalog as it were the first snow you'd ever seen on your lawn. The majesty!!!

Hello Alexis!

GIG ALERT

Alexis has got a seriously cool show coming up very soon in NYC March 15th and 16th

Needless to say, this is a MUST for any New Yorkers. He's playing together with the amazing Money Mark, my super talented friend Jonny Lam, Annie Hart and visual master Nick Relph at the Met! Bloody hell. EPIC!

Today's Nitty is a levels game.

I ask the potentially expensive question "does a DI/mic pre combo make eurorack belt harder?"
