I had some trouble playing the tracks there, but what I was able to hear didn't seem impressive at all.

ehhh i mean dude has spent most of his limelight time talking about how much he appreciates it, how it feels like a second act and that he wanted to bow out when he was at a peak, so it doesn't surprise me and doesn't seem as disingenuous as hov's mic drop. and i hardly read this announcement as "i am retiring" w/ or w/o a wink, just "this will be the last lcd record" which is a much diff thing imo

he's also said he has to tell himself that every time to make sure he puts in the best effort he can, like Robert Smith announcing every Cure record for fifteen years would be the last

James Murphy sounds exactly like Kermit The Frog on the opening track of the new album. Fact.

he didn't on "New York I Love You"?

I thought he sounded more like Bernard Manning on that.

As Jaxon states above, the Timmy Thomas-channeling "People" is great.

Been loving the clip-clop/turn-indicator mumbly/choral Carol Kaye/Beach Boys thing on "Plenty Of Time", too.

Album out May according to twitter. @lcdsoundsystem: fyi: record out may 17th and 18th, i think. we're planning fun tour stuff. info here: http://www.lcdsoundsystem.com/clip3/index.html

doran, aside from your comment, what do you think of the album as a whole ?

"people" is crazy good

I really like it - I'll post some kind of capsule review here in a few days. It's split the vote amongst colleagues of mine though.

LCoffeeD Brewsystem

anyone seen "shut up and play the hits"?

it had one screening here, in a raked opera theatre, for sthng like $50 a ticket

so no

i think it gets a one-night-only us release this month. if anyone is in munich it is screening here tonight

for sthng like $50 a ticket

btw I guess this was not appealing enough to move many, by the week of they were adding a Q&A with Pat afterwards, and then getting to go to a party he would be at

whoa

it works as a standalone film even for non-fans, but the main thing is he picked good songs, it looks good and it sounds amazing (except maybe all my friends). audio mix had so much stuff in it you can't hear on the bootleg. definitely see it in a cinema with if you get the chance (americans: http://oscilloscope.net/lcdtheaters/)

LCD Soundsystem's "Losing My Edge".

yeah, some real 'remember when' there. supertempted to see the movie, scared by the klosterman - how heavy a presence?

an interview with him and murphy is used as a framing device, so he shows up with a question between about 2/3 of the songs. some of the questions are quite long.

"Some might even try to draw a parallel between "Losing My Edge" and Van Halen's single, "Running With the Devil". I remember being 18, sitting on the couch while the familiar chords blared, wondering if something like "Losing My Edge" would, in fact, ever, come along. We threw cheap beer cans on the floor and smoked hand-rolled cigarettes. Some might draw a parallel there, but I wouldn't. I've really never thought about it, and I don't have an opinion on it."

klosterman says something like "i don't know if you'll take this as an insult, but i think losing my edge is your best song"

and then "well, I guess I don't really know what your best song is. but maybe, I can see how people would argue that it's Losing My Edge"

all of the possible interviewers and they got Klosterman ? :(

just watched the trailer, all the smiley crowd shots made it look like a car/beer ad. maybe when lcd do their 'big festival reunion to play that one classic album all the way through' in a few years they can document that fascinating story as well.

lol

I hope to read your commentary on not seeing that movie as well. ;)

assuming murphy's imminent heart attack hasn't hit by then ; D

qft

i guess there is an unavoidable slightly self-congratulatory thing, but the crowd shots are actually great. none of that glastonbury picking out the assholes with the wales/cornwall flag bullshit. some of the crowd stuff is looking toward the stage from floor level, which is, uh, immersive. there are also some quite bored looking guys in the crowd too which is honest i suppose. it is a pretty film.

is Aziz crowdsurfing in the movie?

bought tix to this. LCD was the best new live band I saw in the last 10 years. Wondering where this will rank on a scale of 101 - Rattle and Hum.

xp yes

:D

The songs in this movie are beautiful and enthralling, but the Klosterman parts are embarrassing. I think there's probably more footage of his grandstanding and repetition of his his 'theories' than there is of Murphy's answers. Similarly, the concert looked excellent, whereas the morning after footage was about 70% watching camera operators struggle to find focus.

I'm hoping when the DVD/Bluray comes out it'll have a music-only edit, because that'll be one of the finer concert films I can imagine.

i just hope they captured the glow sticks flying when the beat drops in "Dance Yrself Clean"

the original live stream was easily the best live 'event' ive ever experienced on the net so yeah a polished version of the whole show would be flat out sensational i think.

who's Klosterman btw or do i.. not want to know?

iirc the whole final show will be on a second disc

this is exactly what I was afraid of; Klostermann is okay in small doses but I can totally see how he could basically ruin a movie like this

who's Klosterman btw or do i.. not want to know?

I'm sure someone else could describe him better than me but he's basically a long-time stoner journalist who writes half-baked theories at length before ultimately concluding that he thinks they're worthless or that he really doesn't have an opinion, priding himself on how underdeveloped his own thoughts are. Y'know, the guy who writes a five-page essay on a band he's never heard that ultimately turns into stories about listening to Van Halen records while hung over 25 years ago. He does occassionally write some brilliant stuff, but you really have to dig for it.
