Just spend five minutes on Twitter and you’ll soon become aware of just how argumentative humans are. ‘Agreeing to disagree’ is not something that seems to happen on social media and, to be honest, in the real world too. Because, sadly, our beautiful planet remains in a constant state of turmoil: riven by conflict, war and aggression.
It needs to stop. But what can we do?
Who can bring us all together, solve our problems and bring forth peace and harmony throughout the world?
Well, we thought Chromeo could.
The Funklordz themselves, David “Dave 1” Macklovitch and Patrick “P-Thugg” Gemayel, have built a career on harnessing the funk and conjuring up good vibes over the course of their five magnificent albums to date, (the latest of which, Head Over Heels, emerged earlier this year). In their own words, they are the world’s only successful Arab/Jewish partnership - so who better to bring people together to tackle the Earth’s manifold problems?
Therefore, we asked them for a ten point plan to sort things out.
We present: Chromeo’s ’10 Steps Towards Making The World A Better (And Thus Funkier) Place’.
