Highly Anticipated: This Is Happening

LCD Soundsystem’s new album This Is Happening, was supposed to be released in March, but was pushed back to May. So now, in about a week, we’ll be able to have it (May 18th).

Sadly, James Murphy has informed the music community that this will be his fourth and last album as LCD Soundsystem. I can’t help but to feel sad that ‘this is happening’. :(

Read an interview with him from Clash Magazine here

ALSO…click here to preview the whole album! I have a feeling I’m going to wear it out this summer!

Track Listing:

1. Dance Yrself Clean (Starts off slow, then surprises you with a ‘BAM!’ into some loud dance music)

2. Drunk Girls (Has some musical elements very similar to ”North American Scum”)

3. One Touch

4. All I Want

5. I Can Change* (Reminiscent to the likes of Erasure, Yaz, The Cure, Love & Rockets, etc.)

6. You Wanted a Hit*

7. Pow Pow (sounds like the Talking Heads)

8. Somebody’s Calling Me

9. Home

* = my favorites

Magic Arm

I was reading UK magazine Clash the other day, and I wrote a list of some of the bands so I’d remember to check them out. One of these is Magic Arm.

What initially caught my eye about Magic Arm was that they did a cover of LCD Soundsystem’s “Daft Punk is Playing at my House”, which is a great song. So, I figured they’re definitely worth the look-up.

And guess what? I like them so much, I had to get on here and tell you about it! Their debut album Make Lists, Do Something doesn’t come out until May…BUT you can go to their MySpace page and have a listen for now.

The LCD Soundsystem cover is there, and another song I really enjoy called “Bootsy Bootsy” and NOT just because I think the word “Bootsy” is really funny. Let me know what ya think!

Also, if you’ve been searching for a different cool music magazine, and you haven’t picked up Clash…you should. I’m glad I did.
