I *just* discovered LCD Soundsystem

It may be 2 years too late, but better late than never!

Oh BTW, Daft Punk is playing at my house...

No kidding...he hasn't had any hype in over a year now, but Rolling Stone was all over his...peni2...a while ago. Good stuff.

 

[UNCjigga]

I had a chance to see the live show...twice...literally two blocks from my place...yet I never went! This makes me sad

 

[UNCjigga]

An aside--is iTunes Plus the best digital music quality available commercially (I mean other than a physical CD?)

 

[clamum]

I've heard of them but didn't really know what sort of genre they were beyond "something electronic-like", lol. Checking out some songs now...

No no no no no. I've liked him for a couple of years now, but that damn song drives me crazy. It's so monotonous.

I really dig Someone Great.

Someone great is one of the best songs written in awhile. All My Friends has been played so much it's getting really tired.

The album has something other really great songs that I will be listening to for a long time: North American Scum, Get Innocuous! and such. There are some really bad ones too though (the tapes one comes to mind).

Saw him when he toured with the Arcade Fire in the fall, great bill and fantastic show - danced all night.

There's a new song at stereogum came out a week or two ago that's pretty good.

It's not 2 years too late. They had an acclaimed album that came out less than a year ago.

That said, while I like LCD Soundsystem a medium amount, I'm really bored with how seriously electronic dance music is taken in "indie" music magazines these days.

Amazon has some 256kbps MP3s, iT+ is good though.

Well, isn't 256kbps AAC >= 256kbps MP3? Or do modern encoders negate any advantage afforded by AAC?
