Dead-On Deadpan Delight
Today's snappy, hilarious Song (and video) Of The Week is the sardonic, damaged-hipster cool that is 'Drunk Girls,' chock-full of memorable lines and witty asides about nightlife and and mating game misfires. Supplying this gem: the brilliant LCD Soundsytem, the dance-punk musical project of New York-based DJ/songwriter/producer James Murphy, who adds disco, experimental rock and other styles to punk & contemporary club to create unique, wondrous, intelligent grooves.
'Drunk Girls' hails from the group's brand new third album 'This Is Happening,' which like its two predecessors has won universal critical acclaim (the first two were also Grammy-nominated!); it will certainly be among the year's best albums...
Here's 'Drunk Girls' live at the Bonaroo Festival...
From their 2007 masterpiece 'Sound of Silver,' the drony, poignant, unforgettable 'Someone Great'...
From 2005, the riotous, deadpan 'Daft Punk Is Playing At My House...'
The song that launched LCD is 'Losing My Edge,' described as 'an 8-minute laugh-out-loud funny dissection of cool over a dirty electronic beat'...
