maybe it reminds you of that because that's a painting by Robert Longo and the DFA announcement specifically referenced Robert Longo

Oh I didn't know that. Davek upthread was mentioning it reminded him of and 80's album and thought that must be it. Just saw the cover for the "drunk girls" single and the reference is more obvious in there:

Would have been a much better cover with a cartoon James Murphy than a photograph tho.

I know, right? when are you guys gonna get on that
who do you mean? my country is on its second female president. the first was in 1990. you assuming i'm british is a pretty good indication of why you don't find that line embarrassing and why even if it's a joke it's a stupid one.

will never understand salt & vinegar being in a blue packet.
can't wait for this, that track-by-track made it sound promising once you got past the shitty writing.

Salt & Vinegar is purple here. Cheese and onion is a mustardy colour. Chicken is green. Original is blue.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 09:25 (fourteen years ago) link
seems a bit early to get upset about a lyric without, you know, knowing the rest of the lines, but then perhaps james murphy is considered this generation's henry james in terms of his wry cultural politicking of the transatlantic divide so people have high expectations?
― nakhchivan, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 09:26 (fourteen years ago) link
If ILX were a band it would be LCD Soundsystem, such is it's insane/playful/angst ridden/funny multiple layers of irony and detatchment.
I don't think anyone is, y'know, supposed to take that line at face value.

Good in Ireland but nearly always stale when they get to the UK.
Best used to be Quentin's Crisps.
