New music from LCD Soundsystem
I love this group. They consistently make great music and are one of the few acts deserving of the critcial & hipster love they get. This video is of a new song (actually apparently a reinterpretation of a 1979 Peter Gordon & Love Of Life Orchestra track recorded for release with a retrospective of Gordon’s work) they debuted at the Yves Saint Laurent Winter Fashion Show.

DFA Records/ XL Recordings present: Friendly Fires vs. Holy Ghost - On Board!
OnBoard by Girlie Action
"It started off as a drunken conversation at Corsica’s Calvi Rocks festival in July 2009. Friendly Fires had just played live, Holy Ghost had just finished DJing, and in the post-gig haze the decision was made by each band to cover one of the other’s songs.
Eight months later and here are the quite brilliant results. Friendly Fires were the first to honour the agreement, finishing 2009 in the studio with a superb take on the DFA duo’s ‘Hold On’ classic. Meanwhile, Holy Ghost’s cover of ‘On Board’ took a little longer – sessions vanished, vocal tracks mysteriously vanished, hard drives were fractured and somewhere in the middle of it, the duo lost their close friend Jerry Fuchs, whose awe-inspiring drumming is at the core of this version of ‘On Board’. The results are equally special."
I dig this! DFA still got it!
