With St Patrick's day this weekend we wanted to feature an Irish themed Top 10. It was a toss up between 'Top 10 Lead Singers Who Look Like Leprechauns' and this...So what better way to get in the mood than with this drinking playlist. These songs will have you reaching for a Guinness quicker than you can say 'what's the craic?'. •••••••••• •••••••••• •••••••••• •••••••••• •••••••••• •••••••••• •••••••••• •••••••••• •••••••••• •••••••••• ••• 1.

I had an English teacher in high school that suggested the best way to spend New Year's Eve involved watching "The Sound of Music." At 174 minutes, starting the movie sharply at 9 p.m. would give six minutes to open a bottle of champagne, watch the ball drop, and then go to bed. This teacher also would tell us "if nothing happens before midnight, it's not going to happen." While I don't agree with said teacher's depressing outlook on social situations, I'm still not a huge fan of New Year's. "Amateur hour" is typically the phrase used when [...]

Here's a brief look at some other band's interpretations of White Light / White Heat songs.
LCD Soundsystem This Is Happening Released May 18, 2010(DFA/Virgin) Short Notes: This may be happening...but is it a good thing? Lin: B+ I've only recently come to the point where I'm willing to say I like dance and/or electronic music. Part of the reason is exactly what that statement usually implies: I started my musical journey in a much different place and shunned the sounds that didn't correspond with that ethos. But it's also my [...]

Eles tem um dos discos melhores discos da década passada. Um dos mais elogiados do ano passado. Só com esses trabalhos têm sua marca registrada pra sempre, com consolidada sonoridade eletro-punk. Mesmo assim, a banda vai acabar. E já tem data marcada para este fim, dia dois de abril, quando o LCD Soundsystem faz o último show de sua carreira. O prenúncio desse final foi feito ano passado, pouco antes do lançamento de This Is Happening , o líder da banda James Murphy anunciou que em breve a banda terminaria. Há duas semanas [...]

Tras la noticia que circuló en Twitter a principios de enero, se confirmó que LCD Soundsystem visitará la Argentina el próximo 23 de febrero. El show, que tendrá lugar en el local Groove de Palermo (Santa Fe 4389), ya figura en la web oficial del conjunto de dance punk que lidera el músico y productor estadounidense James Murphy . [...]

This is Part 4 of The Tale of The Tape's Year End Best of Series : Music Videos As my list took shape I thought it was notable for what wasn't on it: Kanye's "Runaway" and "Power," Lady Gaga's "Telephone," any "found video," and even Health's horror show cut "We Are Water." I had it backwards, the list is notable for what's on it: two cuts from Spike Jonze, one from Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz, of course), Shannyn Sossamon's directorial debut for her former band (Warpaint), the son of Costa Gavras'-Romain Gavras-police state screed for [...]
"Indie rock" has become a term as amorphous and hard-to-pin-down as some of its associated lingo. But for our purposes here, we'll go with a line of demarcation strangely omitted from the discussion much of the time: the rock portion of the equation. "Indie rock" has become a term as amorphous and hard-to-pin-down as some of its associated lingo -- think "hipster", for example. You know it when you see it, to borrow a phrase. The old debate about the values of commercialism versus the DIY values of punk, indie's tattooed and bloated father, seems to matter [...]

Filed under: The Hit List Our best music videos of 2010 list defies the notion that the music video is dead. Despite record labels slashing promotion budgets, the short-form music films continue to flourish, mostly due to the the creativity and artistic drive of forward-thinking artists. We may not see the likes of 'November Rain' these days, but there are plenty of brain-tickling treats out [...]
After breaking its crowd attendance and heat record last year, Rock En Seine is about to start again in the Parc de St. Cloud near Paris, for its 8th edition! This year over 40 acts will be performing over three stages with top-billers ranging from trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack, Canadian indie-rockers Arcade Fire, to reformed British art rockers Roxy Music and U.S. hip hop band Cypress Hill.
This past weekend, bands of all shapes, sizes, and most importantly SOUNDS came together in the middle of nowhere, also known as rural Manchester, Tennessee. Buzznet wants to know - which Bonnaroo band has the swagger, style, and sound that best represents who YOU are?
I get it, I really do. I enjoy the music and understand why it is so critically revered, but I find myself unable to listen to more than a few songs in a row. I'm not referring to all of James Murphy's work mind you, because Sound of Silver is beyond words. [...]

[ RSVP for $5 cover/$7 w/o ] I am so ready for the LCD Soundsystem show on Tuesday (6/8). It will formally kick off my summer and a week of birthday debauchery. Now the show is SOLD OUT and you might not have been able to get a ticket or maybe you are going to check out that Miike Snow show instead. Doesn't matter. By the time we all get out of whatever show we go to that night I [...]

LCD Soundsystem @ Webster Hall in April ( more by Ryan Muir ) "New York likes art stars. When I was in DFA, we were seen as these crazy guys throwing these drug parties connected to some fashion show. That was cool to people. Now I'm just a guy in a band. I suppose what happened is that I spent my whole life wanting to be cool, but eventually came to recognise the mechanism of how coolness works. So it's not really that I don't want to be cool any more - it's more like [...]

I'm posting this now instead of Wednesday because I can only assume my life will be taken over in the next few days by Red Dead Redemption . Rockstar's newest game, which I've been waiting months and months for, is finally coming out tomorrow and, from what I've been reading, it will suck the soul of whoever plays it. So if that's something you look for in a video game and have somehow missed the hype surrounding it, you might want to check that out. In addition, This Is Happening , LCD Soundsystem's follow up to the magnificent [...]
My most anticipated album of the year drops next week. LCD Soundsystem releases This Is Happening on May 18. Watch a live performance of "Drunk Girls" on Jools Holland below and the music video for the song below that. - Joel
