love all the synths strewn through this record - seems more deeply textured than a lot of the older stuff.

good interview
― iatee, Thursday, 3 June 2010 18:04 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm enjoying this album!
but, on "you wanted a hit" and "pow pow" james murphy sounds really pissed. what's up with that? calling out michael musto, who are you, axl all of a sudden? idgi
this has probably been discussed on this very thread.
thx!

this album sounds like the soundtrack to the lion king at many points

I had a dream Jams was an ILXor and me and morbs and him and some others were all hanging out, and we were drinking this weird "video soda" product that played an Aeon Flux-like cartoon of someone else drinking a soda in front of your eyes every time you took a sip

I love the way James describes styles of music in terms of the face you pull when you're performing it. Like this line about Pow Pow: "To me it’s “the talking guy with his talking face.” You know, “Talking Heads’ talking face doing his talking.”
― Haunted Clocks For Sale (Dorianlynskey), Friday, 4 June 2010 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, too often (i know we've been over this) critics think of the dreaded I-word in terms of an artist "looking back" on other artists, rather than "looking forward" at an audience that they're trying to find a way to say something to.

NW has been on every LCDSS album fwiw, even the first single: b-side "beat connection".

makes me wanna see them for him alone
yea i forgot that lcd was sort of a dfa-allstars type thing now with russom, whang, mahoney, and murphy all in the band. i guess i didn't think they'd all be on tour but it is worth your money people! i'm not even that stoked on the new album but it was among the best live shows i've seen in years

they're not new to the band but i didn't see either of them the last time i saw lcd on tour
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Sunday, 6 June 2010 07:05 (thirteen years ago) link
they probably changed that on the sound of silver tour or something tho, haven't seen them in a while

I thought before Pat Mahoney was in LCD he was in Les Savy Fav. What am i missing him working on in the DFA camp other than LCD?

Just picked up a hard copy of this yesterday and blasted it in my friend's Philly apt and we danced around and talked about how nice it was!

he did a couple dj tours with james murphy and others as 'special disco version' and the two of them released that fabriclive mix a few years back (which is still seriously amazing)

i don't have an opinion on the album yet - it was kinda all over the place and i havent been willing to sit through the whole thing more than like twice, but i've listened to "all i want" like 40 times

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

looked at the liner notes yesterday (a friend actually bought the physical cd, whoa) and was surprised to see that james played drums on almost all of the tracks, and pat mahoney only played on one of them (can't remember which but i think it was "pow pow").
