VIDEO: Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel

Last year, Fool's Gold released a video for the same song which featured them just playing at least 3 different shows. Bland for a video if you ask me. I guess they figured that they should probably step it up. And oh, did they ever! Funny old guys walking and dancing with dogs, babes kissing a lizard in the pool and a sexy bikini clad saxophone player gettin down. Wish I were invited to this party!

MP3: Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel [Micachu Remix]

Previously this year, both Micachu & The Shapes and Fool's Gold delivered some great tunes. Micachu's album Jewellery took some time to grow on me, but it's becoming a solid contender for the end of year's Best Of list. On the other side, Fool's Gold gave us one of the most enjoyable summer jams with the song Surprise Hotel. Now, we get the best of both worlds with Micachu's remix of that Fool's Gold song. Although it only clocks in @ 3:31 [half the time of the original jam], it's still pretty solid. The only thing that throws me off is how the song comes to an abrupt stop.

[MP3] Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel

Afro-pop seems to be everywhere these past couple years. I have no problem with that at all. Fool's Gold [from LA - not the movie] is yet another band gettin' down with some hot grooves. Check out their new song Surprise Hotel and don't tell me you're not dancing. After the pretty extensive jam intro to get you going, the song really starts at the 1:30 minute mark when the vocals come in. Around 4:06, the structure breaks open and you are lead into a full on afro pop jam with faster drums, a killer bass line, and some sick horn playing. Even though the total song length pushes toward 7 minutes, you're still left with room for more. Dessert please? Remember - two 'S's' mean it's sweet...
