Chemicals to World (Under Social Lights)

Not sure where to post this or if this even has been posted before, but the Chems have an account at Giphy with an extensive collection of gifs from visuals and music videos:

What?? I had no idea they had an official giphy page. How cool 

[Stefan]

I've found it more or less by accident, I was searching for a picture of the Burst Generator visuals (pulsating dot circle, later used for the Reel) and among the image results were a lot of gifs which led me to the page.
I'm sure you'll put them to good use on this forum

^ They don't actually discuss the soundtrack in this podcast (or maybe they do but I missed it whilst skipping through?)  but they do refer to their original review/podcast from 2020.

It's a pain to scroll all the way back to episode 6 in order to listen, but I did. So to save you some time this is hopefully a direct link.
The soundtrack gets mentioned from 29 mins to 31 mins - a story about accidentally blasting the Chems around an AirBnB whilst others were sleeping.
Why does the American guy pronounce Eric Bana's surname like he's Spanish or Mexican?

Oh also some old tweets from these guys about the film:

Maria Grzeszczyk (she's a production or tour manager for the Chems) posted a nice timelapse video of their stage setup:

I just noticed a comment in the Chem's Portola post. Chad Muska, legendary U.S. skateboarder and now skateboarder Hall of Famer, pledged his love:

There was a questionnaire on Discord about what we think the Lyrics of Ring The Alarm/Bring Me Love/Bring Me Along really say, and Tom chimed in that we'll find out at some point soon-ish (TR is Tom's account)

Wonder what that means because didn't he also say in a recent interview that there are no new chemical releases on the near future horizon? Maybe some new Aurora stuff he produced and also did a remix for (or maybe not a TR remix but a CB remix)

[Csar]

Although I at first also believed it to be Aurora, I now think it's not her.

[ThePumisher]

You think? But who is it? Seems like Tom is not denying it's Aurora

Have to admit that @Wolkenkrabber & me back in the days thought that the vocals on Live Again belong to Ellie Rowsell - turns out it was Halo Maud.

Honestly, it is all just guesswork so far, my takeaway from Tom's post is: the track they've been spinning will get an official release in the not-to-distant future. I'm here for it!

Some internet snooping has lead me to the fact that I think the Chems account recently followed @AmoebaSF on Twitter/X. I'm curious if they stopped by the Haight Street location and agreed to tape a "What's In My Bag" episode... Or maybe Tom supplied a vinyl drop of his new Phantasy single "We Are Nothing" to be circulated.

Why he's there and not here...

Let's face it, we the troglodytes of the Chemical Brothers internet fandom.
