"This Is Happening": the third album by LCD Soundsystem

RIP indie

can't believe jams sold out and went w/ an unironic corporate buzztitle and decided to be inspired by franz ferinand

corporate buzztitle

oh good, there's enough zinging going on here to cover me too

good looking out, guys! ^_^

looks like "this" isnt happening at all, unless "this" is "a corporate buzztitle"

D'oh for being the only person who likes the cover. It's no New Amerykah pt 2, but I think it's dapper.

ILM cynicism strikes again!

I like the cover

i would love it, if it werent inspired by franz ferdinand

^^^remembers when indie wasn't dead

reminds me a lot of lodger : david bowie.

i believe that was inspired by franz ferdinand as well

seriously lj, do you sometimes sit there and think to yourself "let's see, what is the most speciously infuriating thing I could write to make my fellow posters sprain their eyeballs from reflexive rolling" before you post?

hahaha at Bowie travelling forward in time and being inspired by Franz.

franz ferdinand was born way the fuck before bowie

Also was about to say it reminded me of Low onwards Bowie, later period Roxy Music and suited-and-booted New Pop.

and his death inspired bowie's nazi period

can't believe LCD is inspired by Beck

the vocal harmonies are great, definitely a lodger thing going on

but yeah i'm put off that the shout is "drunk girls" but that probably doesn't matter

the thing is, a certain proportion of girls at any given time are in fact drunk, so ... it's not offensive

how many photos will be subjected to tilted chiaroscuro shops with 'corporate buzztitle' annotations in the coming months

zero

damn

no ILM meme potential sorry

TVOTR release new album 'Everyone Together' ft. b/w Tunde reclining on bed of blank CDs

no ILM meme potential sorry

which buzztitle is the most corporate:

• this is happening, by lcd soundsystem
• is this it, by the strokes
• franz ferdinand, by the franz ferdinand
• smells like teen spirit, by nirvana
• meet the beatles, by the beatles
• the fifth symphony, by beethoven

also pretty sure Tunde is just b

smells like teen spirit, by Beethoven

smells like a corporate buzztitle

also pretty sure Tunde is just b

I was thinking of making this joke, but then I didn't

dude missed out on the prized l0u1s jagg3r demographic by not calling his album "ozymandias' labia pt. I: the cum-drops of evermore"

Is This It is such a look-what-a-hip-hyped-new-band-we-are-and-this-album-will-be-huge title. Don't know about corporate buzzkill though.

"ozymandias' labia pt. I: the cum-drops of evermore"

holy fucking lol

there's surely something offensively platitudinous about 'This Is Happening', isn't there? any album-title you could conscionably add 'yeah' on the end of in regular speech isn't worth adopting imo

oh ok i am lolling

LOLias of Sunhillow

any album-title you could conscionably add 'yeah' on the end of in regular speech isn't worth adopting imo

your mind works in such bizarre ways

ozymandias' labia pt. I: the cum-drops of evermore, yeah?

The problem with that proscription is that you can add "yeah" on the end of anything.

xp: dammit max I was about to post that

there's surely something offensively platitudinous about 'This Is Happening', isn't there?

no not really

guys I'm not sure but I think there might be a song called "yeah"

xpost Come on it's Jams Murphy - he subject to different criteria. Every gesture he makes is filtered through this jokey/sincerity dichotomy. I'd agree if like Sufjan or Lady Gaga called their hotly-anticipated album 'This is Happening'.

Although i kind of see yr point.

the title is fairly crap but i don't think it's worth getting offended over

this is hoppening

lol

jam smurphy

I can't wait until this album leaks. This thread will be bananas.

im boycotting the album on the grounds of it being too corporate

Mashed Bananas and Jams

Just remembered that the words 'this is happening' form part of the title of my favourite self-penned poem - I retreat in shame anew

That frog is swollen with immanence
