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

I stopped by the record release party at Smart Bar since it's a block away and picked up the CD for a discount. Everyone looked about 22 years old. It's cool that a pudgy 40 year-old can still attract that audience. I should have bought tickets when they went on sale even though I don't plan to go, because they're now selling for $75 and up. Metro and other places have begun overselling shows again, and I'm sick of it. I hope it doesn't take more people dying in a fire to bring places back to code.

Finally listened to this proper. Really loving it.

like the first 2 tracks lots but this is kind of a bust

DRUNK GIRLS

you can't front on that

they/he still hasn't quite got the songwriting right

45:33 and the pre-first-album 12"s are still his best longer tracks

would rather hear actual hit attempts than 'you wanted a hit' (10 fuckin' minutes?)

oh man, just picked this up at the rekkid store. no joke, "Dance Yrself Clean" is great

It's a great opening track, unfortunately the album goes like this afterward:

One Touch and I Can Change are the only tracks I really like

The only track I didn't like was the one whose title I can't remember but was the track on the album most sonically similar to "All My Friends".

"Drunk Girls" totally works as the second track -- i didn't like it in isolation, but right now it sounds awesome

ksh be livebloggin

Don't really love or hate this album, but that "nightclubbing" track is probably the worst.

xxxxxp how do you know that skier doesn't totally nail the landing?

hahaha I just looked at that picture and was like "... after the first track it goes totally fucking awesome, and that's unfortunate?"

Hah, I figured someone would bring that up.

Image was a search result for "falls off a cliff" or something similar...

i think you really need to be at the right place to "get" drunk girls.. for me it was in radio shack

WHITE HEAT

On "You Wanted A Hit" & liking this record a lot </liveblog>

also "dancing" or at least "moving in the chair" fwiw

.. for me it was in radio shack

i think that picture is going to completely derail this thread

Amazing thing, this Google image search engine.

this album is great

yes, yes it is

curious as to what your search was, alfred?

"retard toliet"?

"Kid pooping"

It would be really, really awesome if "One Touch" crossed over to mainstream radio.

I went to pick this album up at Best Buy the day it came out, but it was sold out.

This is ridiculously good.

Picked it up for $6.99 new at Newbury Comics. A+

Was also really tempted to tell the ppl behind the counter that they were going to sell tons of these.
