LCD Soundsystem: One Thread Is Never Enough

[cobl04]

Like Niels in the Radiohead thread, this is all?! Come on people!! This is a way bigger deal. They were supposed to be completely done forever and a day. This was so exciting and I really, really like the song. It's a little bit of a NYILYBYBMD retread - and has an even bigger Rock n Roll Suicide homage towards the end - but it's really fucking great and it makes me very happy to think of James, Nancy, Al etc getting together in a room, smiling and bashing out a tune.

I think it's a great track. Bummed that I didn't find out about it in time to order the vinyl.

I've listened to this multiple times. Such a great song. Hoping this is a sign of a reunion next year.

We'll find out soon enough. Coachella lineup will be released first week of January.

 

[iron yuppie]

Probably what will happen is Murphy will put out an album in the near future that is LCD in all but name.

I heard the new song 8 times on Sirius XMU yesterday over the course of a six-hour drive.

 

[Danny Boy]

Still bummed that I missed out on the vinyl, but FWIW, this is now available in lossless from Pono and Tidal...

This song isn't doing much for me. New York I Love You is a lot better.

 

[cobl04]

NY Times reporting they're reuniting for Coachella...

 

[trojanchick99]

I like thay rumor. With LCD and GNR I'll be OK even if the Calvin Harris headliner rumor is true.

Reunited LCD and GNR for Coachella? Not bad at all.

Calvin Harris headliner rumor is true.

That would be terrible.

 

[martha]

Who is Calvin Harris? I know I could google it, but I still wouldn't know. You guys provide context.

I would say that he's a house producer, but that would imply that he has any credibility whatsoever in that scene. He just makes pop music at this point. The crowd would be pretty good for his show, he's got a lot of hits.

LCD Soundsystem and GNR make up for it.

 

[lazarus]

Cobbler would sell his girlfriend into white slavery to go to Coachella next year.

 

[PhilsFan]

He's also Mr. Taylor Swift.

 

[trojanchick99]

He was on the main stage two years ago. It was one of the largest crowds I've ever seen. The set ended and the entire crowd went back to the dance tent. FitzChivalry and I ended up with a great spot for Beck and Arcade Fire.

Also, Martha, he is dating Taylor Swift.

So there will be a song about him on Tay's next album.

 

[martha]

Thanks for the info, guys. Looks like I haven't really missed much.

Reading back through Murphy's initial comments about the MSG shows, there is a lot more flexibility about a reunion built in than I remembered. That documentary was really over-the-top about the finality of the whole LCD project, though, which is why I still find these rumors difficult to accept.

Like Niels in the Radiohead thread, this is all?! Come on people!! This is a way bigger deal. They were supposed to be completely done forever and a day. .

Because their "break up" was possibly the fakest thing to ever happen in music history and was likely completely fabricated to sell a tour documentary, and cash in on huge ticket sales when they inevitably reunited?

Edit: don't mean to come across harshly, I just figured this post from me was obligatory at this point since I've basically been posting the same thing for neigh on 4 or 5 years now.

Still, it was a bit meaner than I intended it to be.

 

[cobl04]

I think you're being extremely cynical. I know I'm a soft-hearted fuck but oh well. And you know what, I don't even really fucking care. I'd have paid three figures to see them every time they toured even if they hadn't broken up anyway. I love them that much.

Still no official word.

Good for Murphy for getting paid, I say. He's certainly more deserving of it than The Killers or whoever the hell else perennially headlines these festivals.

 

[cobl04]

Still not official. Would like to hear from James Murphy and I suspect we will soon.

 

[djerdap]

I actually don't mind this. Instead of "We're back because of the music!" he straightforwardly admits the reason why most reunion bands do that kind of stuff - although I'm guessing the official statement is going to downplay the money part.

The documentary was pretty silly anyway. Bring it on I say. Shut up, play the hits and take my money.

 

[LemonMelon]

Wait, they're playing FYF Fest?

 

[martha]

Fuck. Between Coachella and FYF, there won't be a stand-alone LA date.

Plus, don't you have to keep it a secret if you headline Coachella? Doesn't Goldenvoice make you keep quiet?

 

[cobl04]

Can't wait for Laz to complain about them not opening with Dance Yrself Clean.

 

[nielsgov]

I'm hoping they'll do some European festivals as well.

 

[BoMac]

They'll likely do Osheaga in Montreal as well.

I'm surprised it even took them this long, honestly. 5 years seems pretty silly to me to call something a "reunion".

 

[LemonMelon]

It's standard practice for U2 at this point.
