I'm very excited about this (from p4k):



So I don't know how I feel about the lead single potentially being called "Drunk Girls." Could be fun I guess! Any speculation about what we can expect (other than Montana posting in this thread frequently and calling James Murphy a faggot)?

jesus.

2010 is seemingly the year that every biggish band in the 'alternative' universe releases a record.

exciting news, though I was hoping for a greater leap in maturity in this record. "Drunk Girls" doesn't seem to jibe with that dream....

LCD Soundsystem is a horrible band. They are truly one of the worst creations of the urban white guy blog metacritic internet zombieland we find ourselves in. They have no redeeming qualities of any kind. Their music endures like a bucket of mayonnaise in the cage of a starving black bear. They are for all intents and purposes the Spinal Tap of indie. The lead singer's histrionics are unbearably pretentious. It might as well be Will Ferrell leading this band. At least that's the picture I get in my head when I hear their idiotic music.





Anyone sure that isn't Will Ferrell doing a parody about pretentious indie music? You might want to double check.

Like clockwork.

Checked. It isn't.

hahaha, montana has no shame.

have you...uh...heard the song? I'm not sure the title is enough to go on.

It's as if Monty holds a grudge with Murphy for name checking a Floyd song.

The question is, had Murphy replaced "Gil! Scott! Heron!" with "Roger! Waters!", would he feel the same?

Yes I know. only basing that assumption on the fact that "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" sounds like a song titled such, and so does "Someone Great." it could be an incredible single for all I know.

As long as it doesn't sound like Kanye's "Drunk and Hot Girls"....

Very Excited, i'm very much looking forward to this.

Yeah, knowing his style and previous work, I wouldn't worry about an LCD Soundsystem song titled "Drunk Girls".

I love that Montana's problem with Murphy is that he sees him as this personification of what's wrong with indie music/culture. And the guy's first hit was essentially mocking that very thing.

first thing i thought of...love that song actually

Funny, I thought of it immediately too. Probably about the worst song on Graduation though.

I think I actually agree with Montana on this one. Although with less venom

this new song "Oh You" from the Greenberg soundtrack sounds so much like Pink Floyd it's like a direct personal attack on Montana.

glad i wasn't the only one who felt that.

agreed

god I hope montana listens to it.

I did. Best thing the artist has ever done.

hahaha.
good post, as they say

Sounds more Plastic Ono Band than Floyd to me.

You're supposed to be taken aback by his audacity. But I forget how you just want all shit to sound like either hicks in a bar or old British guys with keyboards.

There's no one more image-conscious than Montana.

so do you guys let trolls hijack every thread on this board or just the ones about good bands

i'd say 50/50

Every one.

My apologies, I was bored.

i love the fact that Montana still, after all these years, he still fucking doesn't understand the joke in "Losing My Edge"

newsflash:

i think the song is 50% joke, 50% genuine.

"When I was DJing, playing Can, Liquid Liquid, ESG, all that kind of stuff, I became kind of cool for a moment, which was a total anomaly. And when I heard other DJs playing similar music I was like: ‘Fuck! I’m out of a job! These are my records!’ But it was like someone had crept into my brain and said all these words that I hate. Did I make the records? Did I fuck! So, I started becoming horrified by my own attitude. I had this moment of glory though. People would use me to DJ just to get them cool. They’d be like ‘It’s the cool rock disco guy’ and this was really weird. And to be honest I was afraid that this new found coolness was going to go away and that’s where ‘Losing My Edge’ comes from. It is about being horrified by my own silliness. And then it became a wider thing about people who grip onto other people’s creations like they are their own. There is a lot of pathos in that character though because it’s born out of inadequacy and love."

The "it's a joke" or "the artist was having a laugh" tactic has been used rampantly by music and film apologists for a long time now.

"Isolation" is apparently one of Roger Waters's favorite songs of all time. It's not hard to see how the minimal slow burning drumbeat of that song and other POB tracks like "Mother" and "God" likely influenced the Floyd, and that's not even mentioning the pissed off head up ass lyrical sentiments.

Good song, btw. Brings me back to when "Never As Tired As When I'm Waking Up" proved that he could write a sick classic rock throwback jam.

So apparently this will be the last LCD Soundsystem album.

Montana's gotta be happy with that.

I don't know, the way he's talking about it seems similar to Mike Skinner's thing with The Streets. It'll be the last "LCD Soundsystem" album, but I'm pretty sure James Murphy will still make music or at least produce other artists.



I'm really hoping that Murphy ends up titling this thing Internet Sensation!, mostly for the various reactions this board will have to it.

Drunk Girls: http://onethirtybpm.com/2010/03/25/listen-...le-drunk-girls/

kind of obnoxious, actually.

super obnoxious. I didn't expect anything less from this track, based on the title.

but I like it. the incessant shouting of the title is annoying, but I like the rest a lot.

worst band of the 00's?

yes.

joke or serious?

here is a clip of Pow Pow which is much better: http://www.juno.co.uk/products/Pow-Pow/386997-01/

very serious. everything i have heard by this guy is fucking awful.

Even "All My Friends"?

especially that song.

I guess I will be the first to say, the backing vocals are meant to be obnoxious and knowing. Could even be a festival indie song over here if it wasn't quite so electronic.

oof... yeah, the backing vocals definitely ruin it most, but even then i can't say i'd dig on it too much.

yeah, the vocals aren't the issue. just not that catchy of a song.

Kanye's subpar 'Drunk and Hot Girls' >>>>>>>>>>> LCD's 'Drunk Girls'

clip of 'Pow Pow' off the record:

that song sounds really friggin' obnoxious too... yikes

Wow, those two tracks are pretty weak. Not off to a good start...

I don't hate this song as much as you all seem to. I don't think it's great, but it's not that bad. I guess the bar was set kind of high after "All My Friends" and "Someone Great" though.
