video: LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls

Dear Parlophone Records,

Hi. How are you? I am fine.

I am writing in response to the recent Digital Millennium Copyright Act take-down order you sent me for posting an mp3 of LCD Soundsystem's "Drunk Girls."

I had initially downloaded the mp3 of "Drunk Girls" from a reputable music blog that hosted the file on their own servers, which turned out to be a leak. So you let me know.

Fine. I took it down and replaced it with a YouTube stream posted by your own official YouTube account. But that wasn't good enough for you. You sent me another take-down order. And spineless, sniveling Blogger took my post down again.

And again.

So here goes, one more time: I am going to give you this free press for your artist that you supposedly would like to succeed.

Also, Fuck You.

Love,
Dan

In the wake of the internet leak of LCD Soundsystem's latest album, James Murphy & co. have decided to stream the whole thing gratis on their website ahead of its May 18 release.

Phew, that was one hell of an AP lead. My journalism teacher would be proud.

Best Thing Ever - LCD/Kanye Mashup/Cover Madness

via Cokemachineglow's Fantasy Covers Podcast

So recently Mason Proper came out of left-fucking-field and did this downright glorious cover/mashup/instant party of Kanye's already-pretty-awesome "Love Lockdown" and LCD Soundsystem's even-better "Get Innocuous."

I know, I know, half of everybody on Earth hated 808's and Heartbreak, but the loping minimalist bass pulse of "Lockdown" becomes twice as catchy backed by "Innocuous'" driving motorik beat, and the ever-divisive Auto-Tune is wonderfully absent.

And--you know, the singer can actually sing. A good thing for a pop song, generally.
