LCD Soundsystem

Even though it's highly unlikely that anyone will ever get to witness a true LCD Soundsystem show any time soon, they are one of the very best live acts I've ever had the privilege to experience. An LCD live show is unbeatable and visceral.

What do I like about LCD Soundsystem? I like that they created their own sound out of the sounds that came before them, paying homage to the material from which they borrow while creating something that will one day get an homage of its own.

I like them because they put on a live show that I can see five times in a week and never get sick of (true story). I like them because they know what they stand for and make no apologies.

I like them because their music speaks to me in the same way that the music of The Beach Boys and The Doors speaks to me - through songs that are carefully crafted from bass to vocal and everywhere in between, and I know that that care has not gone to waste, because I am there to appreciate it with every listen. I like them because I feel connected to them through their art.
