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

my prime minister is brown
my pack of cheese & onion is blue
and i be goddamned if the salt & vinegar aint too

this is beat happening

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.

i was going to listen to this, but now between the corporate buzztitle and the black president-touting lyrics i think im going to send james murphy anthrax

don't you think jams already has a few anthrax albums?

all he has is a franz ferdinand mp3

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.

it's not a joke, it's an attempt to troll british people like you

and it seems to be working pretty well, considering that the album hasn't even come out yet

i thought lcd was british?

Naw, but they're from the east coast, which is close enuff

^^ have you guys ever heard of a song which is titled "north american scum" u might find it quite illuminating xxp

man what happened itt

britishes happened to it, by the looks

wonder what britain said to jams murphy to make him lash out like that

i hate how all the action on ilm threads for big new releases happens well before the actual release

Oh the lolz...if jams wants to be hipster fred durst then great for him

wonder what britaintim goldsworthy said to jams murphy to make him lash out like that

prolly s.thing liek "produce your own music you fat self-aggrandizing cunt"

will never understand salt & vinegar being in a blue packet.

what, salt & vinegar in a blue packet is the one that makes sense - why would you put cheese & onion in a blue packet

^^ ▀█▀ █▬█ █ ▄█▀

Salt & Vinegar is purple here. Cheese and onion is a mustardy colour. Chicken is green. Original is blue.

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?

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.

say what you like about the british isles, but we sure are easy to troll.

what are original crisps?

the blue ones afaik

potatos

Salt & vinegar = blue
Cheese & onion = green

Walkers are disgusting savages.

Good in Ireland but nearly always stale when they get to the UK.

Best used to be Quentin's Crisps.

do you think we can get a workable standard for chip packets drafted by the time this album leaks or what

Rule 1 - don't call them chips.

we call them crisps, and you do not - so shut up about chips

Obama's been in power for a whole year and he hasn't even fixed that one yet. No wonder people are already calling his presidency a failure.

hey guys you spelled potato wrong - it's not 'tayto'

po' dyao

don't be so po-faced

denial is a river in italy

corporate buzzchips

think you mean 'buzzcrisps' there

crispy buzzfishnchips

corporate buzzblackpresident

whoever our new prime minister is, i hope s/he has a bloggable skin colour

lolol

i saw a black crisp packet recently

SO THERE

I didn't see a black crisp packet

so I'll shut up

c&o in red = acceptable imo

c&o in mustard = can see the logic but somehow revolting

s&v in purple = bit forceful but ok -- worcestershire sauce is correct colour astringency however

chicken in green = ew wtf gross

i hate how all the action on ilm threads for big new releases happens well before the actual release
