LCD soundsystem

[diesel]

looks like they're back with a planned album and tour

[LoathedVermin72]

so that pretentious, overblown documentary they made a few years ago was a big load of lying bullshit then, eh?

[diesel]

yeah i guess. i dont really care. i went to the MSG show and it's one of the top 5 concerts of my life.

here's a note from james murphy with some details and some thoughts about negative reactions:

Cool news and cool link. Ta.

[VinylGuy]

Thats a reeeeally long letter.

I like his work, but he is such a self importance hipster, thats its just boring to me. He did the same with the ¨farewell¨...and sometimes LCD is a band, sometimes its not...Just release the music, make the tour, and say you use the moniker for the money.

Its ok.

[digster]

I never saw them live, and they're a favorite, so this is pretty great news for me.

I have no interest in the band but I'm vaguely aware of this and it's surely a stretch to call it a lie if they truly believed it was over at the time.

This is one of my bugbears, like pulling out a politician's quote from many years ago that contradicts their current stance on an issue and labelling them a hypocrite.

I know, I was exaggerating for effect

Great, now I'm the weirdo.

Hey Birds,

Love the new avatar. Very snazzy, and a little vapor wave.

Thank you, however I'll let you know this is in fact a return of the "classic" spenno/Birds in Hell avatar. Perhaps I was ahead of the curve with this vapor wave thing?

[tragabigzanda]

Top 10 maybe?
Hello Morning
Close Captioned
The Kill
Place/Position
Do You Like Me?
Latest Disgrace
Recap Modotti
Nightshop
Break
Life & Limb

I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

[Bob Loblaw]

I knew they'd be back. Can't wait for the new music, and can't wait for the tour. One of the best live acts I've ever seen.

[zeb]

I'll take a new album and a show here in Brisbane, please Mr Murphy.

Spenno = Birds In Hell, and another piece of the RM puzzle falls into place...

RM is certainly lots of one and not so much of the other.

[BurtReynolds]

I will only see them live if its 90 minutes of that guy lying on his kitchen floor opening and closing his oven door over and over.

[diesel]

i think he made some sweet coin from the 5 night run at terminal 5, the sold out MSG show, profits from 'play the hits'. i dont think his plans of running DFA into a popular label and producing the next generation of hits panned out. combine that with stupid business ideas (like starting a coffee brand) and all of those things probably tapped the piggy bank. he's a musician; he should make music. was it stupid to quit at his peak, probably. will he admit that, probably not. I guess he watched too much of the last waltz. does he owe anyone anything for coming back from retirement, nope.

[bodysnatcher]

Never got into LCD

[Gods' Die]

I'm pretty sure in that pretentious film he said if they wanted to get back together in 5 years they would. He also seems quite genuine if you're paying attention to him; I think he felt like it was over then...but he always left the door open on a return.
