New LCD Soundsystem: "Big Ideas" For the Movie 21
If the new track by LCD Soundsystem, "Big Ideas," sounds like it could be in a movie, well, it is! The fast-paced, slightly robotic-sounding song was commissioned for the Kevin Spacey movie 21 in which a bunch of MIT students use their brains to count cards at a Vegas casino and swindle their way to millions.
Stereogum, which premiered the song recently, suggests it will be used for a chase scene, though I think it might be placed during some kind of montage, like when all the students are honing their skills in preparation to win big at the casino.
Song of the Day: Franz Ferdinand Cover LCD Soundsystem
One of my current musical obsessions is LCD Soundsystem's latest album, Sound of Silver, and recent Song of the Day honoree "All My Friends" continues to be on near-constant rotation. So I was delighted to find this cover of the song by highly satisfying British rockers Franz Ferdinand. Franz's take was produced by DJ Erol Alkan and will be the B-Side to LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends" single, which comes out May 21 in the UK.
Song of the Day: LCD Soundsystem, "All My Friends"
After hearing the new LCD Soundsystem album, Sound of Silver, I have to say: I have severely underestimated James Murphy. I've always liked his style — clangy and aggressive with lots of boogie-inducing beats — and I'm still addicted to "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" off the band's debut album.
But never has Murphy's signature sound been as strong or defined as on Silver.
