Song about feeling old succeeds in making you feel old.

I was young when it came out! I was one of them-there 'internet seekers'! With a playlist of every good song, by every good band, ever! I'm probably the same age now as Murphy was when it was recorded.

Wikipedia tells me that Murphy is 9 years older than me, so that was a pretty good guess.

always preferred the B side but then that's a classic indie tossbag thing that 'the kids' on the actual song might say.

Was just talking about this with a friend last night, but I misremembered this as having come out 2003. Now I feel older than I already did.

Nice article, although everyone I know pronounces it I-beetha or Ib-eetha - is it different in the States?

"I once wrote an entire paragraph about how people pronounce 'Ibiza' without researching it"

that is a very good article. i especially like the quotes from james murphy discussing how the song was born of his own fears about the declining social value of music knowledge in an era of "internet seekers" who can track down obscure information relatively easily. the song is definitely a landmark.

The Ibeza/Ibetha paragraph had me shaking my head, I haven't heard eye-bee-za since my teenaged brother proclaimed he was 'into trance' and bought a FSoL CD

Remix of a (loose) cover of a Fear song that seems to owe something to LCD:
