Having signed a cheeky link-up deal with EMI, New York City is currently in a state of alarm, ringing their collective hands and wondering aloud whether DFA Records, home of LCD Soundsystem** have indeed, been losing their edge.

Fortunately, for this microcosmic moment in time, we can rest easy. 'Movement' is the sort of sht kicking rock n' roll song with crushing guitars and an electronic motif that Primal Scream occasionally deigned to make at the end of the last century, when they were really good. As a baddass rn'r record, the inherent sneering disdain in James Murphy's voice is pivotal; for a man who allegedly doesn't give a sht about this being cool malarky, he's certainly mightily hip.

But isn't that always the case?

DFA got their neiche and damn fine they are with it too.

Bring it on hippies.

I can't take this guy's voice. Just seems like a complete copyist of Mark E Smith, and for the record I very much like The Fall. To my knowledge, no one has even mentioned this. The music that the band makes with their instruments doesn't sound too bad though I suppose.
This is a lot like me and Seinfeld. I am aware that it's a funny show, but I can't stand the horrible bass guitar interludes. They make me want to kill.

I really like this single and I like James Murphy's voice.

If you copy this link, you can see the Flip Flop Flyin' version of him.

"Yeah" is single of the decade (thus far). Not overly impressed by this one though, seems a little "by numbers" to me. Perhaps its a grower.

Not a patch on 'Losing My Edge' or 'Yeah', but ok.
