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...

It's been two years since LCD Soundsystem released their last studio album, even longer since "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" was playing at every house party.Finally the band is set to release new music in celebration of Record Store Day's Vinyl Saturday on November 7th. The 12" release will feature a cover of "Bye Bye Bayou," a song originally written by Suicide's Alan Vega from his 1980 s...

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.

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

FACT Mag published its Top 100 Tracks of 2007 today. I'm glad they held off until Friday, because it is going to take me all weekend to digest this list. But at first glance, a lot of my own fave tracks of 2007 are on the list along with a lot of other MOG faves. And to top it off, this is the best presented list I have seen yet: each of the 100 entries has a short description and a pic of t...

While I'm not much for talking about myself, I just want to say that I have never, ever, EVER met a group of people quite like you guys. I can come here whenever I need to, for a laugh, or for a cry. I have found, discovered, enomored over, and hopefully, spread, some of the music (and friends) that I now consider near and dear to my heart. Thank you MOG, and MOGgers for just being who you a...

Franz Ferdinand channels early 80's Britpop in this gorgeous cover of LCD Soundsystem's All My Friends. Alex and the boys _really_ need a new album out, or maybe I do. Either way it's long overdue.
