The first thing this blog ever did that got citywide attention (meaning the big corporate blogs linked to us and begat a rise in readership that’s continued every day since) was post some videos of an anti-war march downtown in March of 2008.
One of them needed some music, so I slapped some LCD Soundsystem on there (a rarity called “Big Ideas”) and the rest is history. Please enjoy this blast from the past:
Sorry for the horrendous video quality; it was 2008! (I think it was shot using a landline telephone?)
Most importantly, the LCD Soundsystem concert film Shut Up and Play the Hits is playing this weekend at the Roxie and THERE WILL BE DANCING IN THE AISLES — and we’re giving away free tickets!

I WAS THERE
WHEN 6FS FELL DOWN THE SERVICE ELEVATOR SHAFT
BUT I’M LOSING MY EDGE
With a name like “LCD Soundsystem” you’d think their albums would be nothing but silence. But I guess that’s the joke?
