and a delayed surprise

I met one of my cyber-friends in the flesh Saturday night…now I’m having some trouble NOT thinking about her–that figures…*I* think she looks better with UNcurly hair, but she hasn’t asked me what I think…I’m pretty sure she has a boyfriend (or something) which doesn’t surprise me… I was gonna go out Friday night to […]

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM

LCD Soundsystem finally disbanded last year – after releasing The London Sessions.  In typically unconventional style, all of the tracks were recorded in jam sessions.  Even the albums have a loose and free-flowing feel to them.  Between 2005 and 2010, LCD Soundsystem released three proper albums.  The debut album kicks off with the unusual single, […]
