SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS
I’ve been a big LCD Soundsystem (and James Murphy) since the moment I heard the first few words of “LCD Soundsystem.” However, my int-tune-ness with the live music scene and interest in the group peaked only after their famous final show. I also missed an opportunity to see James Murphy DJ in Chicago… It makes me want to kick myself. I sketched out a bucket list of sorts this past week and “see/meet/hear James Murphy live” is on there, but it’s doubtful it will ever happen. I need to keep my ear to the ground for any last chance I might have.
Pitchfork has an excellent write-up of LCD Soundsystem’s history through songs here (though it gets wordy and hoity-toity at times).
Regardless, I’ll be seeing this film without a doubt.
For the record: my favorite LCD Soundsystem song is likely ‘45:33’ part 2. Or if that’s too pretentious, maybe ‘Dance Yrself Clean.’ And I think my favorite remix is Tiga’s ‘I Can Change.’
