oh I am so so glad that he realized ending the album with the downtempo half-baked joke of a song idea from Sound of Silver was a terrob;e idea

when i get to the end of this album i am going to try very hard to like this track just out of contrarianism

I love it but I'm the unabashed fanboy w/r/t this album. the drugged out synths are awesome.
― iatee, Thursday, 15 April 2010 16:50 (fourteen years ago) link
The line about Michael Musto in Pow Pow is awful. We should poll the most ridiculous lyrics on this album but i'm not sure if the polling system allows that many options.

Not sure he thinks this, considering "NY I <3 U" is an LCD concert staple and fan favorite.

I got as far as All I Want and stopped listening - not really feeling this at all and I loved Sound of Silver. It feels a bit like he's forgotten how to construct a good groove. It took me until halfway through the first track to work out whether or not I was listening to a fake leak.

I got one of my coworkers to stream this.
He hated "Drunk Girls" but likes a lot of the rest of it (he's up to "I Can Change"). The comment that made me go O_o was "this is pretty good for the most part, kind of Lightning Seeds-ish"

did Jerry drum on this because the live drums on One Touch are among the best LCD drums (saying a lot, big fan here)?

I'd take the first Lightning Seeds album over the LCD debut and This Is Happening.

srsssly xp? cos it kinda is
i don't know anything about the lightning seeds, if i ever i did, except that they were english and they were once extant
can't imagine they sounded anything like 'dance yrself clean' tho

yeah nah it's just kind of hilar
lightning seeds never been much of a hipster reference point iirc

Listening to this now via the inhouse PA of Easy Street Records -- it's definitely a perfect dance record for browsing and crate-digging (an honest compliment!)

That's funny, I heard the MGMT album in the same context/setting yesterday and it sounded alright!

Easy Street fucked up the Reggae section when they reorganized. BTW, Ned, if you like Thomas Fehlmann, the LP has a copy of the CD inside and is priced nicely at 14.99 at the back of the store.

The Lightning Seeds have reformed, presumably to make a boatload of money in a World Cup year. Jams Murphy is doing the David Baddiel bit on Three Lions 2010.

I geeked out on a youtube clip with Ian Broudie, Terry Hall and Craig Gannon strumming acoustic guitars recently. Wish I had seen the tour with Gannon.

Really digging this album as a whole, but holy shit, "Somebody's Calling Me". It's less a track and more a "Nightclubbing" remix. Makes you look about that whole "sued into submission" line from "All My Friends" in a new light. Let's hope Iggy has no idea this band exists.

I am embarrassed by "Drunk Girls" and by the fact that Pitchfork not only selected it as one of the "best new tracks" but actually failed to mention that the song is basically "White Light/White Heat" watered down one million times.

"Somebody's Calling Me" = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knPPi45NTQA
