100%

I saw Chromeo last night. I don't think I've ever been so pleasantly surprised by a live show.

To say they were good is not only an understatement, but it doesn't accurately describe what they were. Chromeo is an electro-funk 80's pop-rock revival outfit, and that might be why I made certain assumptions about their live show before I saw it. I figured that they were the type of band that relied on studio editing and mixing to get that sweet sound they have, I was totally wrong. They somehow sounded better live, something I'd expect from a band like Zappa plays Zappa or Sonic Youth, but I was completely thrown off by how amazing Chromeo's show was. The talk-box stuff was especially sweet, and the guitarist tore.it.the.fuck.up. They broke into Money for Nothing by Dire Straits for a second, and though they didn't cover the whole song, it was still almost my favourite part of the show. I don't even know what my favourite part was, all of it? Is that a thing I can say?

I am a guy who is looking for new employment in the graphic design industry. Give to me your jobs, world. I will take the images and the words and arrange them in such a way as to appeal to you and your audience. Lend my your colours that I may wield them, manipulate and attach them to my semiotic objects, sent forth to do your dark work, to sell your evil hair products or whatever.

I can also do web, so that is also neat. I am trying to learn PHP, but things are hard.
