So LCD Soundsystem’s new track ‘Bye Bye Bayou’ leaked onto some blogs last week, it’s not a huge track but it’s easy listening and chilled. Anyway, they’ve caught on and are giving away 20,000 copies on their website. It’s definetely not one of their best but fans should like this, so head over to Their [...]

The first time in a couple of years that we get new material from LCD Soundsystem since their single 'Big Ideas' was featured on the soundtrack for the film 21. It's a little disappointing that the new material isn't actually anything new but a cover of Alan Vega's 'Bye Bye...Click the link to read more
After last week's announcement of a new LCD Soundsystem single in December, fans of the band have been salivating over the prospect of hearing new material from James Murphy and company for the first time in nearly three years. Well, the wait is over a little sooner than we thought, because the song is now streaming over at 22 Tracks, along with 21 other stellar disco tracks. The song, "Bye, ...

__Nike: North American Scum__Musicians who sell their work to corporations are like . . . HDTV. High-definition is great if you’re watching a good movie. But if the movie sucks, then it sucks in double linear resolution. It sucks __vividly__.In the same way, good musicians, like Feist, can enhance their standing with a corporate tie-in, whereas mediocre artists such as Moby only serve to clarif.

Why do we all like lists? It must be how they sum up everything nice and clean, making an easily digestible package of thought. It's sort of the sitcom of writing, but instead of everything being wrapped up nicely in the allotted 30 minutes, it's 10 bullet points. I'm not complaining -- I'm going to make my list right here in this very post. Really, it's fun. But there is something sort of s...
Saw LCD Soundsystem and Arcade Fire at the Randall's Island ampitheatre in New York City a couple of weeks ago. I didn't realize it at the time, but there were five bands instead of the two mentioned.The first band sucked badly. There were a band from New Hampshire. The second band was hilarious with a big bald guy with a beer gut as the lead singer. He totally sent up rock star singer perso...
Is there anything music relevant about this post? Sort of, but you'd be a liar if you said you didn't watch a couple of television shows or at least partially submerse your soul in the cultural realm that is TV. It's hard to avoid it even if you wanted to; aside from disconnecting the cable or kicking the satellite off the roof, our mass media-navigated culture that appears uniquely America...
If James Murphy had anything to do with this amusing Simon Owens-directed video starring the downtrodden frog, big ups to LCD Soundsystem's main man for admitting he totally sounds like Kermie on the Sound Of Sliver closer. If not, good ear and idea, Simon. Take a look .
That's a picture of what's-his-name from LCD Soundsystem at the City Limits festival last year. Their performance was one of the high water marks of an entire weekend that was full of them. Along with Björk, Andrew Bird and Common, they helped ease the blow of the Stripes & Rodrigo cancelling. The reason I created this post was to share an LCD bootleg I came across from 2007, but I'm kind of..
Yo, I'm back! I havn't posted in a while since I've been real busy with a crazy semester, but this weeks post is good. I just started listening to LCD Soundsystem and I really like this band. They have a very original and distinct electronic sound. You've probably all heard there bigger hits like "Daft Punks playing at my house" and "North American Scum." However, I'm posting my two favorite so...
