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

bee ok you are like if forkcast was integrated into ilm threads

quality control, my man

1st part of "Dance Yrself Clean" is a total C4TPA homage.

^^^glad someone else thought this - not surprised it was you tbh lol

wouldn't have made that link because I only know 1 C4TPA song but yeah I can totally see that

Wow. Spot on, and then some.

What's C4PTA?

what is your favorite song by casiotone for the painfully alone?

another Los Angeles based project:

looks like Houston to me but is that official (i hope not cuz it's awful)?

I don't know what it is, the colour grading, or how everything is framed, or something, but it looks like a bank commercial.

generally do not advocate audience recorded youtube videos (and in truth this one is as bad as most of them) but they debuted (afaik) Dance Yrself Clean last week and it looks like it was awesome.

I'm avoiding listening to anything from this album again for a quite a while after seeing that video for Home.

so true. this video makes me feel uncomfortable and 'marketed' at. shame it had to happen to my fave song on the album

They were just okay last night. Murphy shouts too often.

i mean

it's a terrible video but how is it ruining the record for anyone

I don't see what's so terrible about it

that's not an official video is it?

what's with all the nu-yuppies in that video?

Not so much the video for me just reminded me i haven't listened to the album for quite a while and didn't inspire me to do so.

so far behind on this album, but
did anybody else say that 'drunk girls' sounds like a bastardized cover of 'boys keep swingin' yet?

Pow Pow video.

yea i have no idea why but i really like that video. "pow pow" was one of my favorite songs on the record, maybe that has something to do with it

Anybody heard the London Sessions or the Alexandra Palace thing?

London Sessions is alright. Nice version of Get Innocuous.

this is $1.99 on amazon mp3 right now

i never heard an lcd soundsystem record before

it's pretty good, he likes david bowie i think.

Whole album's his tribute to the Berlin records.

What do you think, Ned?

over & over again xpost

I haven't felt the urge to play anything on this album since a few weeks after it leaked. Complete dud, imo. Sound of Silver covered all the ground this one covered but better every step of the way.

it's held up for me, and a lot of the songs have really grown...i think the only thing holding it back is the sound of the record. the tones of most of the instruments (drums especially, i guess) are on the generic side, not as huge as on the s/t or as raw & vintage-y as on SoS.

Opening track, I Can Change, and closing track are as good as anything he's done, and Drunk Girls is great fun. Everything else here is good. It's better than the debut for me, but not quite as outstanding as SOS.

I play way more songs off of this than I do off of SoS, which I edited down to an amazing 4 track EP

I completely agree with this. I still get a lot of This Is Happening, it will be very high in my albums of the year list.

i'll have to get sound of silver, i dig this so far.

S0S has four songs that are way better than this and a bunch of ignorable shit on it

or it's wall-to-wall awesome. only one way to find out!

DJP, is your 4 track SOS EP: Get Innocuous, Someone Great, All My Friends and Us V. Them?

Get Innocuous, North American Scum, Someone Great, Us V Them

I really, really really REALLY hate "All My Friends"

think yr kinda on yr own there

it's a position I'm used to

yeah, North American Scum is a gimmicky bullshit track just like Drunk Girls. They're both pointless and annoying.
