Hmm. If you would have asked me if I thought the 'doks account liked LCD Soundsystem, I would have thought that the aural participation by the three hyphens was on a pedestal higher than that of we, the phonic rubes.

This song is a fucking crazy banana sandwich. The first half requires patience, but the second half delivers in an incredibly satisfying way.
I can’t believe I didn’t listen to LCD Soundsystem before. I fucking love this.
How Do You Sleep
Standing on the shore, facing east I can't feel you Standing on the shore, facing east Your impermanence You're taking water Listing lazily, out of view
I remember when we were friends I remember calling you friend
Standing on the shore, my ear aimed east I can't hear you I can't hear you anymore I can't hear you I can't hear you anymore
I still remember Laughing and fighting I still remember
Standing on the shore, watching for you You're painted into a corner Whatever fits in your pockets, you'll get your due Just like before With all the others
You warned me about the cocaine Then dove straight in Yeah, you warned me about the cocaine Then dove straight in
In hiding, where there's more for you (There's more for you, there's more for you) (There's more for you, there's more for you) (There's more for you, there's more for you) (There's more for you, there's more for you) (There's more for you, there's more for you) (There's more for you, there's more for you) (There's more for you, there's more for you) (There's more for you, there's more for you) (There's more for you, there's more for you) (There's more for you)
Standing on the shore, getting off You left me here amid the vape clowns I must admit I missed the mountain But not so much you
One step forward One step forward One step forward And six steps back And six steps back And six steps back And six steps back And six steps back And six steps back
Standing on the floor, facing you I can't see you, your impermanence This place is empty Empty of you
And if I see you, it's like nothing went wrong Yeah, if we meet again tomorrow, just like nothing went wrong But they
Erasing our chances just by asking how we sleep
One step forward One step forward One step forward And six steps back And six steps back And six steps back And six steps back And six steps back And six steps back And six steps back And six steps back

This one might be the best of them all.
American Dream
Wake up with somebody near you And at someone else's place You took acid and looked in the mirror Watched the beard crawl around on your face Oh, the revolution was here That would set you free from those bourgeoisie In the morning everything's clearer When the sunlight exposes your age
But that's okay And that's okay
Grab your clothes and head to the doorway If you dance out, no one complains Find the place where you can be boring Where you won't need to explain That you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead Or at least instead of sleeping here you prefer your own bed, come on You just suck at self-preservation Versus someone else's pain
So you feel drained And insane And insane
He was leather and you were screaming Swinging chains against the stage And you couldn't know he was leaving But now more will go with age, you know So get up and stop your complaining You know that you're the only one who's been destroying all the fun Look what happened when you were dreaming Then punch yourself in the face
So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting So you never even asked for names You just look right through them as if you already came It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking 'Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh And you can't remember the meaning But there's no going back against this california feeling
Dream (Sha-bang, sha-bang) America dream (Sha-bang, sha-bang) America dream (Sha-bang, sha-bang) American dream (Sha-bang, sha-bang, oh oh)

Whoa, yeah, you're getting into one of his weaker albums IMO. I love a lot of tracks off American Dream--"Blank Page" maybe one of my all-time favorites--but the middle kind of drags. Sound of Silver and This is Happening are better. If you're into the aging, what does it all mean shit, TIH is going to be more your jam.

Thank you for posting something that wasn’t negative BS, I appreciate it. It’s crazy, I’ve been aware of LCD Soundsystem for a long time, but I had never listened to anything by them before. macphisto introduced me to these songs less than two weeks ago. I’m obsessed with them right now. As soon as I am ready to digest more of their music I’ll check out This is Happening. I honestly think this is my favorite “new to me” music since I got into The National, which macphisto originally introduced me to as well.

Everyone thinks I'm a monster but I'm not a Maoist. James Murphy I think captures post 2000s disillusionment as beautifully and aptly as anyone.

LCD is going to one of those circa 2000 indie bands that not only survives but will end up being the most influential.
Out of all the more successful bands that I've enjoyed from that era (ranked - the shins, interpol, modest mouse, animal collective, broken social scene, the national, arcade fire), LCD has the most consistent output in that decade, and their more recent work (american dream and tours) is better than any of the other bands ive mentioned; however, I will say that arcade fire live is very close if not tied since they bring so much energy live. as for the national, their past two albums have been trash and their live shows are becoming increasingly boring and predictable.

James Murphy came to Arg recently to dj a private event. The main organizer is my friend and he throw a little welcome thing for him, and i got to talk to the guy, but i only talked about the movie The Comedy, a personal favorite. He has some good memories about the shooting.

The National is brilliant and their last album is a masterpiece.
