LCD Soundsystem

anyway i'd say one song out of that lot is anything approaching a 'proper band', but whatever.

To whatever degree Murphy works in the studio, it's safer to say LCD Soundsystem are a band than a solo project. They are definitely James Murphy's band, but a band they are.

We could get into the "what exactly IS a band" argument if you want!

oh we really don't! seriously, this sounds like "LCD soundsystem frontman and drummer act as rhythm section for some other dudes"; it's a bit of a leap to "why didn't LCD just go classic rock already??" when he appears to be just, you know, playing bass rather than writing the songs and playing the majority of the music.

yep

though fwiw murphy doing americana would be unbelievable

dudes i think you are confused...hockey night had signed to DFA as a band...then there was some backstabbing and in-fighting and shit and the band broke up...but the two main songwriters stayed on as hockey night and still signed to DFA...they just dismissed the rest of the members...

so basically this is going to be the hockey night project with session dudes and murphey filling in for the ex-members of hockey night....if you wanna speculate one what it's going to sound like check out hockey night. this is wells and sprangers project not murphys'

Thank you M@tt! I wish you had posted the original news and not PFM.

it's not like they held a press conference or anything, they just talked about it in an interview!! what a weird thing to disapprove of

CAPTAIN SAVE A MURPHY

lol kidding, slocki, had M@tt posted this before I read the PFM story, I wouldn't have bothered reviving. Sorry guys

The rampant speculation in this revive is cute! And all basically over Hockey Night!! I listened to them in college one time; I thought they had a good name.

the LCDSS-goes-balearic dudes are in tears.

shasta u behind, balearicos moved onto classic rock 9-10 months ago

i'm so behind the times that i still don't fully understand what balearic even is. my idea is that a lot of ppl wish that dire straits had been a disco band.

;-D

Bump.

aw smoochblende

I just noticed that if you go back to the original Pfork link above, they've put a correction in it now that states Murphy isn't even a member of the band, he's just producing and mixing the record! So I guess that settles that.

lol, so ridic.

wooooooooooooooooooow

hockey night just sounds like pavement. i guess that's classic rock nowadays?

We were thinking of doing something where we find a lot of the old disco singers in New York that might still be around from the 70s, and get them in as guest vocalists with LCD as a backing band, and tour around as a disco heroes style show.

yes it is

Hell yeah.

!

i'm down

Have they got a wah wah pedal, though?

they've certainly got a fun machine.

who would you dudes want to see singing on such a project? i wonder whose vocal prowess is still up to scratch.

i want people i have never heard of in my life to blow my mind and make me want to buy all their records

Hoos OTM.

does anyone know who the guy is that sang vocals on 45:33?

xp: I just assumed it was James Murphy!

that "hey, your love away from me. shame on me. you can't hide" part? do you think he just changed the pitch of his voice?

that's what i always assumed?

While we're here...

Here's a thread for (re)mixes of LCD Soundsystem

Does anyone know when the 45:33 remixes are coming out? And what they are going to be?

the prins thomas one (of part 3) has been around since last year; it was on his RA podcast. no idea when any of it's due out, though.

lola would be good!

aha

'LCD Soundsystem haven't disbanded'

cool

"LCD Soundsystem is James Murphy

funny i made this point on the Sound of Silver threrad and got called out for it

you were more right than whoever did the calling-out. tight live band, but creatively not a 'band' and never have been.

Hot Chip bro has lotsa splainin to do to the Murphia

Get Innocuous

make me

great track. never listen to them anymore, but when tracks come up on the random i mostly enjoy

Agreed.

this is the "classic rock" think (ex hockey night)

I saw James Murphy creeping around The Four Horseman, the restaurant he owns in Brooklyn, when I met a buddy for brunch. He did look as if he'd lost his edge.

I didn't mean to bookmark, so; M4rk Cr4ig (aka Bimble) RIP

Yeah Someone Great is an incredible tune, floored me the first time I heard it. Even if everything else sucked he’s classic for that alone. And it’s more or less an original isn’t it?

He ripped off 45:33 for it

Lol
