I get the distinction too but I don't think the National have moved on from that vantage point yet - I get the feeling that now they're in their early 30s and expected things to change but are still being crushed by the pressure & anxiety of things not getting any better despite that being the common wisdom. and they're still getting drunk and fucked up w/ friends. not sure how ad execs and ibankers play into this dynamic at all.

so I got all excited about a Tiga Remix of "Dance Yrself Clean" only to find no track below the description. Plus the Prefix link is to a Tiga remix of "I Can Change." what gives?
"Dance Yrself Clean", the opening track from LCD Soundsystem's dazzling BNM'd third effort This Is Happening, starts quiet and erupts into a four-alarm floor-filler. For this remix, Montreal-based producer Tiga skips the quiet stuff and gets down to business-- and business is a bangin' jam.

The MIA flash ad prevented me from listening to this song four times.
But it is a "Dance Yrself Clean" remix.

Yeah, it is "Dance Yrself Clean". Looks like it's been fixed all round now, apart from the Soundcloud page, which has it as "I Can't Change". On the scale of Pitchfork dumbness, this is pretty low. About a 2.3 I'd say.
― Position Position, Thursday, 29 July 2010 16:11 (thirteen years ago) link
If you ask me, 2.3 also sounds about right for an accurate rating of the new LCD Soundsystem album.

Apropos of nothing, is "Larry Fitzmaurice" the dude's real name? Sounds like an early '80s electro DJ.

So I liked today's Arab Strap reissue review (x2):
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14566-the-week-never-starts-round-here-deluxe-edition-philophobia-deluxe-edition
But, as usual, the originals have been taken off the site.

-and-
http://web.archive.org/web/20010117063400/www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/a/arab-strap/philophobia.shtml
Looks like the first album got a ratings boost, while the second suffered a bit.

Some of you already mentioned Coldplay, but surprisingly no one said anything about "Viva la Vida," unless you count Geir's "Every single Coldplay song" vote.
I can't think of many, if any, mainstream rock songs from the past decade that were as well produced as that one.
