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

crowd reaction during the hits (less so for the B-sides, though people were grooving) was great throughout.

"i was there in jamaica during the great soundclashes--yah mon"

"i'm losing my edge to better looking people with better ideas, and more time, like, seriously, i mean they have a really good web plan, and some SCHA"

^^^ lolz

he apparently fucked his ankles up and got in trouble with security and shit!

Wait... Nancy's last name is pronounced "Wong", not "Wang"? This really shakes up everything I knew about the universe.

I know. That sort of blew my mind too. Maybe that's what the 'h' does. Thanks for the full list of musicians xxxxpost.

Can
I
get
some
time
alone...

that was the twin peaks theme before new york i love you, right?

Yes.

Any word/news on the DVD of the final show? I want to re-experience the "Dance Yrself Clean" drop over and over again

All the youtube footage I've gone through doesn't quite live up to my memory of that drop.

in the meantime, there's always this.

I spent some time with this album today and it hit me pretty hard. Even the stuff I'd been keen to skip ("Drunk Girls", "Somebody's Calling Me") resonated especially deep after giving this album some distance. Definitely my favorite of the three.

I'll credit the band for recognizing that altering (or in this case, halting) its momentum allows you to take a break and appreciate its albums all over again, minus the distractions of tours, news, interviews, hype, upcoming releases, etc.

hell fire!

looking good

You know, for a dude who ostensibly broke up the band to lower his visibility and take some time off, James Murphy has been surprisingly busy and visible. Movies, making movies, still doin' interviews ...

iirc the whole point of him "breaking up" the band was so that he'd have time to work on all the other stuff he wanted to work on

He broke up LCD so that he'd have time to reform them and break them up again.

tbh I am kind of cross w/ Tyler Pope for not reforming Out Hud since I mean he's prob got a lot more free time than Jams

I really wish the DFA DJ Rotary Mixer was actually happening. No news for a year seems to indicate it's never happening

lol otm

oh HELLO

From October the 8th you can own the documentary and the entire 4 hour concert film (sound mixed by James Murphy) on DVD and Blu-ray. The concert film is exclusive to the DVD and Blu-ray release – you cannot buy it separately. As well as the documentary and full concert the DVD and Blu-ray also comes filled with extras.

Loved listening to the boot of the show, but for the life of me can't imagine who would sit down and watch the four hour concert at home.

i did just that already once! looking forward to doing it again.

The parts of this movie that shows the band & him interacting are so boring and uncool it really hurts me & almost ruins the idea of bands for me

Like there is 5 minutes of him shaving while talking about being pretentious

shaving? he always seemed so stubbly to me

It's on Netflix now.

Started watching it last night. Didn't finish. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I got the Blu ray for the gig

Poor James Murphy. You know you don't have to break up, guy! Just go on hiatus. It's easy.

Their best album imo

Yeah, you wanted the time but maybe I can't do time
Oh, we both know that's an awful line but it doesn't make it wrong
