“Do not be misled by the fact that you are at liberty and relatively free; that for the moment you are not under lock and key: you have simply been granted a reprieve.”

chiddy chiddy bang bang

First heard Chiddy Bang when he remixed Ellie Goulding's "Under the Sheets" and sounded like a less-burdened Lupe Fiasco. Neon Gold made sure to spin that before Marina and the Diamonds began their set in April at the Bell House. Then, a friend insisted that I watch the video for "Truth." This is a Passion Pit sample, right?

It's like those great Sesame Street animated clips. I think this guy and I have very similar reference points: 90s sitcoms, the academy, and the greatest Dick Van Dyke musical ever made (I can't wait for Chiddy Bang's female counterpart Mary Poppin' to drop her debut single!).
