TONIGHT IM GOING TO DANCE UNTIL MY FEET FALL OFF.
LCD Soundsystem. Hot Chip. Alexandra Palace. I actually only like 1 of those three things but I'm so bloody excited that the other two are getting free passes for today. I've put a fair amount of LCD on here before, explained my love affair with New York, I Love You and the wonderful video to Someone Great but today's featured track is Losing My Edge.

An 8 minute monster of a track, Losing My Edge contains everything that make LCD a band to sit up and pay attention to. From the simple but burrowing synth line, the fantastic disco drums and Murphy's scathing and self-deprecating lyrics, all hung around a simple hook that explodes as quickly as it disappears again. This is a quintessential LCD track as each part has it's place and relinquishes attention when it's not necessary giving the track space to breathe.

Check out the real version here or watch a typically impassioned performance at Coachella below.

If that's not enough, Foals on Friday. In Brixton. SHIT IS GOING TO GO OFF
