Have you heard about Victoria Hesketh aka Little Boots? Her single ‘Stuck on Repeat’ was produced by Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and many have shat themselves over its Moroder electro-pop stylings. It’s going to be massive. Sample it at the excellent BigStereo or Missingtoof. I couldn’t be arsed uploading it. Here is a rather good video of Little Boots using a Tenori-on to cover Hot Chip’s ‘Ready for the Floor’.
Get the Little Boots Mixtape while you’re at it.

Love that machine
I blogged about it a couple of months back. It looks insanely fun. Got a couple of videos, including Jim O’Rourke playing one here … http://thrillpier.blogspot.com/2008/03/want-one.html
Also saw Four Tet playing one at ATP and had a brief chat with him about it after. But a friend played one at a big electronic music festival in Montreal recently and she thought it was really gimmicky.
I’d love to play with it just to see what its like.

I dunno, I’d love to have one just to noodle around on, but is it worth all that money? Doubtful.
