I'll add that for YEARS, I disliked "Losing My Edge", until I finally heard it on the LCD Soundsystem 2-CD I got earlier this year. As it turns out, when I first heard it, John In The Morning on KEXP had played ONLY THE FIRST HALF! The best part of the song is the build-up and climax in the second-half. What the fuck was up with John that morning?
It would be cool to have James just scream "CHANGE!" every now and then, just to admit it, though. :)

Was this really James Murphy (or some other DFA guy)?
I think the DFA bands have gotten better and better.

Mr. Snrub is is right, but the older records have the power of so much nostalgia behind them (already!)
― myndbloom, Thursday, 23 July 2009 21:00 (fourteen years ago) link
pulled out the HOJL 12" the other day and played the morgan geist remix (which i dunno why, but i'd never listened to before) and it's pretty hot.
