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:

I noticed that on LCD's first song ("Losing My Edge") and final(?) song ("Home"), the bassline shares the same rhythmic pattern... i.e., that of Killing Joke's "Change".
Intentional or not?

Intentional I think. LCD Soundsystem always seemed like a band that had a terminal "mission" if that makes sense. When they showed up they already had a strong sense of themselves as a project or idea.

yeah i'd definitely figure it for intentional.

Pow Pow is the last song they recorded iirc, which also makes sense irt Losing My Edge being their first song.
