LCD Soundsystem- Sound of Silver
I was reluctant to download this record. Not that I don't enjoy LCD Soundsystem. If nothing else James Murphy is a dreamboat. But however redundant it is to point out his bite/synthesize all of the best dance progenitors from the last 30 years strategy, I sometimes can't help but feel like a glutton when I listen to his records. Of course he's the dance music equivalent of Quentin Tarantino. I guess that's half the point. Call it Catholic guilt, all I know is when I hit play I'll always feel just a little dirty. It's my porno, there I said it.
Check out "Someone Great". An early version of it showed up on the Nike mix he did last year and it was arguably the best moment of the whole 45 minutes or however long it was.
If I had more time I'd be posting A Sunny Day in Glasgow's "Scribble Mural Comic Journal". They are MUCH MUCH more inventive and sly than their name suggests. But, alas, I have to go to the library and get some Spanish on tape as I've gone ahead and bought my tickets to Spain this summer.
I'll try to tomorrow.
