It’s like the 2012 Where’s Waldo calendar where young, hip New Yorkers try to find themselves in the crowd in this trailer for LCD Soundsystem’s Shut Up and Play The Hits documentary about the band’s end. I wasn’t there, so instead of looking for myself and friends, I am just looking at James Murphy’s cute dog. So there’s something for everyone.

And the original…

I’m pretty sure it means something that the two huge-ass shows that took place this weekend were indie bands playing at Madison Square Goddamn Garden. So who do you think had the more “we’re rock stars and y’all know it” show?

The Strokes featuring Elvis Costello?

Or LCD Soundsystem?

The answer to this is probably clear, but looking at these two side by side really shows how far “indie” music has come in the past 10-ish years, right?

Everyone is talking about LCD Soundsystem lately. You know, the whole selling out Madison Square Garden and taking on scalpers selling tickets for thousands of dollars. Then there’s the more recent announcement of additional Terminal 5 shows being added.

So what do people love as much as they love LCD Soundsystem? MUPPETS! With the previous “New York I Love You” video being so amazing, it makes sense that there are more Muppet/James Murphy mashups. Everyone in this video for “Dance Yrself Clean” is just so happy, and it is contagious.
