LCD Soundsystem Saturday night at Studio B
Wow, I’m totally kicking myself for sleeping on this show and this record. Much like my reflexive anti-hype dissing of the Arcade Fire in 2005, I ignored LCD Soundsystem out of some misguided allegiance to contrarianism, and then of course, when I heard the new album, I was blown away. I’ve spent the last two weeks worth of workout sessions blasting it on the treadmill, and play ‚”All My Friends” to pump me up whenever I need a lift. If you ever wanted to meet me in person, look for me standing around outside this show, trying to get some last minute tickets.

LCD is more than hype…. in fact front man James Murphy has been around a long time. he was a founder of the Mo Wax label, was in UNKLE, and helped found DFA Records. And yes, both LCD records rule.
Actually is was the other guy in DFA, Tim Goldsworthy, who helped with Mo-Wax and also UNKLE. But James is cool too.
Anyone know what time LCD hit the stage? Geeked….
I too pump All My Friends when I start to lag on the treadmill. I think I’ve played it 50 times because it never fails to keep me running.
