New LCD Soundsystem album on the way!!!

[betao]

if Arcade Fire recorded themselves shitting, you would praise it.

if thom yorke filmed himself throwing up to the sounds of Jonny playing the ondes martenot, people would praise it as the most groundbreaking piece of the year.

[microcuts]

That's not a very nice thing to say about In Rainbows...

[indietron]

This is great great news!! I would love to see them at Coachella again.

That's not a very nice thing to say about In Rainbows...

Hahaha

Fucking... ew.

[Backwater]

Fucking... ew.

That's exactly what I say whenever I have the unfortunate displeasure of hearing an Arcade Fire song, "Fucking ew, this shit sounds horrible."

[MissingPerson]

Damn. Consider me zinged.

It's very early in the day for poo talk though.

Arcade Fire FTL!

Sounds like Al knows he made a stupid...

Oh, internet. We love you-- hell, our livelihood depends on you-- but sometimes you get a little carried away. Case in point: a recent BBC News article with the alarming headline "LCD Soundsystem reach end of road", which quotes LCD live member and Hot Chip guy Al Doyle as saying, "I don't think James [Murphy] is going to do anything more under [the LCD Soundsystem] name."

OH NOEZ you might say, and then proceed to Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook message all yr e-pals with the bad news. But wait! All is not lost! Actually, uh, nothing was lost to begin with: "I would like to clarify that LCD have not disbanded," Doyle writes on Hot Chip's website [via NME.com], "nor could the entity be disbanded in the sense that it has always had a revolving cast of players-- it would be like saying that the Fall had disbanded, or Prince has split up."

Continues Doyle, "LCD Soundsystem is James Murphy, and he's allowed to take time off, do other things, and come back, or not come back. And he doesn't have to tell you or anyone else about it. I didn't know if anything was going on with LCD next year, which is the truth, and that's all I should have said, but I gabbled on a bit because that's the way I am and I didn't imagine in million years that anyone would concoct a story out of it...

"Anyway, I should probably stop doing interviews after this, which is already my second chance. But the main point to take away is that more LCD music is in the pipeline, which is surely good news for everybody."

I particularly like the DFA reps statement:

A DFA representative, meanwhile, offered the following:"Reading the BBC article, all I took away from it was that James was going to make a disco record with the same musicians he has been making music and touring with for the past four years. Why that is shocking or newsworthy is baffling but amusing. The headline that the BBC decided upon is shockingly misleading and ultimately has nothing to do with the content of the piece. And in a stunning turn of events, the NME seemed to set the BBC straight within hours. Kudos to them. Hopefully, Liam Gallagher will have a bowel movement tomorrow and everyone can get back to the news that really matters."

Pitchfork has dispatched a correspondent to the scene of the younger Gallagher's lavatory; stay tuned for up-to-the-minute reports.

Arcade Fire FTL!

Pff. Arcade Fire don't need your love. They've got mine. And in the quite immortal words of Mclusky:

[CalmerThanYou]

if this were real life i would slap your mouth

[MissingPerson]

I'll take any excuse to post that Mclusky song, it's freaking brilliant.

Anyway, the important thing is, LCD Soundsystem aren't splitting up, we're not still talking about poo, and all the people with functioning ears, hearts and souls can recognise Arcade Fire's greatness.

We've all developed as individuals.

[CalmerThanYou]

LCD not splitting up is fucking awesome.

i only said i would slap you in the mouth because i think youre one of the top posters on here. and thats what top posters get.

[MissingPerson]

It was a mouthslap of love. I get it.

[bobert]

LCD not splitting up is fucking awesome.

Unless James Murphy gets cut in two by a train, LCD Soundsystem will never split up. With the exception of Pat Mahoney and Nancy Whang, everyone in that band are technically session musicians. Hence Al Doyle's grumblings about Murphy's tyrannical hold over the band's creative direction. I wouldn't be surprised if the next live incarnation of LCD was without Doyle.

[traviscanada]

Hot Chip are terrible.

Hot Chip>Gogol Bordello.....

[MissingPerson]

I wouldn't be surprised if the next live incarnation of LCD was without Doyle.

Jesus, this sounds like Murphy's going to have him killed or something.

...

Actually, I love James Murphy and all, but I can entirely imagine him calling a hit on somebody. And then nonchalantly finishing breakfast.

[indietron]

Hot Chip>Gogol Bordello.....

True dat

I could see LCD with or without Al, it really wouldnt matter much to me

[BlackSwan]

Murphy has some funny rambling moments in the Soulwax movie.

[Backwater]

Hot Chip>Gogol Bordello.....

That's definitely true. At least you can dance to Hot Chip.

[fatbastard]

...

[clumsy342]

seriously.

[Sonicifyouwantit]

saw james murphy spin last night in LA. very disco as their name special disco versions would imply.

[nationocean]

I kinda don't want LCD to play this year. Would it be so much to ask Paul to have like, bands that haven't played Coachella? or at least in the last 6 or 7 years. That would be awesome. Instead we get repeats. I've seen LCD like 3 or 4 times this year now. lol. I don't need them at Coach.

[slipmode]

I love LCD Soundsystem's music on record, but find them to be not very exciting live.

[Sonicifyouwantit]

I need chemical brothers and underworld.
