Hmm. If you would have asked me if I thought the 'doks account liked LCD Soundsystem, I would have thought that the aural participation by the three hyphens was on a pedestal higher than that of we, the phonic rubes.

i am north american scum

Oh Baby

Oh baby
Oh baby
You're having a bad dream
Here in my arms

Oh sugar
You came to me
Could all be a bad thing
And do you harm

Oh oh oh

Oh lover
You run from me
We move like a bad scene
Shot in the dark

Oh but please
Please wake me
For my love lies patiently
Please baby please
And my love life waits for me

Oh love
You came to me
Are you having a bad time?
There in your home

Oh sugar
Give in to me
You're just having a bad dream
Of raining lungs

Oh but please
Please shake me but my love sits patiently
Please baby please
And my love plays wait and see

Oh I'm on my knees, yeah
I am on my knees
I promise I'm clean
But my love life waits

And you're already gone
Yeah, you're already gone
We are already home
And my love life stumbles on

Oh baby
Lean into me
There's always a side door
Into the dark
Into the dark, shh

macphisto recently introduced me to this song and it’s my favorite thing I’ve heard in quite awhile.

I’m obsessed.

I think this might be the perfect version

This song is a fucking crazy banana sandwich. The first half requires patience, but the second half delivers in an incredibly satisfying way.

I can’t believe I didn’t listen to LCD Soundsystem before. I fucking love this.

How Do You Sleep

Standing on the shore, facing east
I can't feel you
Standing on the shore, facing east
Your impermanence
You're taking water
Listing lazily, out of view

I remember when we were friends
I remember calling you friend

Standing on the shore, my ear aimed east
I can't hear you
I can't hear you anymore
I can't hear you
I can't hear you anymore

I still remember
Laughing and fighting
I still remember

Standing on the shore, watching for you
You're painted into a corner
Whatever fits in your pockets, you'll get your due
Just like before
With all the others

You warned me about the cocaine
Then dove straight in
Yeah, you warned me about the cocaine
Then dove straight in

In hiding, where there's more for you
(There's more for you, there's more for you)
(There's more for you, there's more for you)
(There's more for you, there's more for you)
(There's more for you, there's more for you)
(There's more for you, there's more for you)
(There's more for you, there's more for you)
(There's more for you, there's more for you)
(There's more for you, there's more for you)
(There's more for you, there's more for you)
(There's more for you)

Standing on the shore, getting off
You left me here amid the vape clowns
I must admit I missed the mountain
But not so much you

One step forward
One step forward
One step forward
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back

Standing on the floor, facing you
I can't see you, your impermanence
This place is empty
Empty of you

And if I see you, it's like nothing went wrong
Yeah, if we meet again tomorrow, just like nothing went wrong
But they

Erasing our chances just by asking how we sleep

One step forward
One step forward
One step forward
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back

This one might be the best of them all.

American Dream

Wake up with somebody near you
And at someone else's place
You took acid and looked in the mirror
Watched the beard crawl around on your face
Oh, the revolution was here
That would set you free from those bourgeoisie
In the morning everything's clearer
When the sunlight exposes your age

But that's okay
And that's okay

Grab your clothes and head to the doorway
If you dance out, no one complains
Find the place where you can be boring
Where you won't need to explain
That you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead
Or at least instead of sleeping here you prefer your own bed, come on
You just suck at self-preservation
Versus someone else's pain

So you feel drained
And insane
And insane

He was leather and you were screaming
Swinging chains against the stage
And you couldn't know he was leaving
But now more will go with age, you know
So get up and stop your complaining
You know that you're the only one who's been destroying all the fun
Look what happened when you were dreaming
Then punch yourself in the face

So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling
That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting
So you never even asked for names
You just look right through them as if you already came
It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking
'Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh
And you can't remember the meaning
But there's no going back against this california feeling

Dream
(Sha-bang, sha-bang)
America dream
(Sha-bang, sha-bang)
America dream
(Sha-bang, sha-bang)
American dream
(Sha-bang, sha-bang, oh oh)

I think you’re going to love This Is Happening.

I haven’t listened to it yet, but I will!

Whoa, yeah, you're getting into one of his weaker albums IMO. I love a lot of tracks off American Dream--"Blank Page" maybe one of my all-time favorites--but the middle kind of drags. Sound of Silver and This is Happening are better. If you're into the aging, what does it all mean shit, TIH is going to be more your jam.

Thank you for posting something that wasn’t negative BS, I appreciate it. It’s crazy, I’ve been aware of LCD Soundsystem for a long time, but I had never listened to anything by them before. macphisto introduced me to these songs less than two weeks ago. I’m obsessed with them right now. As soon as I am ready to digest more of their music I’ll check out This is Happening. I honestly think this is my favorite “new to me” music since I got into The National, which macphisto originally introduced me to as well.

Everyone thinks I'm a monster but I'm not a Maoist. James Murphy I think captures post 2000s disillusionment as beautifully and aptly as anyone.

LCD is going to one of those circa 2000 indie bands that not only survives but will end up being the most influential.

Out of all the more successful bands that I've enjoyed from that era (ranked - the shins, interpol, modest mouse, animal collective, broken social scene, the national, arcade fire), LCD has the most consistent output in that decade, and their more recent work (american dream and tours) is better than any of the other bands ive mentioned; however, I will say that arcade fire live is very close if not tied since they bring so much energy live. as for the national, their past two albums have been trash and their live shows are becoming increasingly boring and predictable.

James Murphy came to Arg recently to dj a private event. The main organizer is my friend and he throw a little welcome thing for him, and i got to talk to the guy, but i only talked about the movie The Comedy, a personal favorite. He has some good memories about the shooting.

The National is brilliant and their last album is a masterpiece.

that’s super cool!

I came back to all of these songs again tonight. These are legitimately three of my favorite songs that I’ve heard in a long time.

I gave my LCD playlist a spin the other night and it’s good shit.
