#4 'get innocuous' [mp3] / 'someone great,' lcd soundsystem [mp3]
it was impossible to decide between these two songs, so i didn't.
james murphy's vocal performance on 'get innocuous' is incredible. it makes me all woozy when i listen to it, which i think is entirely the point ['you can't normalize, don't it make you feel alive?']. it's all the more effective when he drops it on top of some supremely funky and new order-esque rhythms. i imagine that listening to 'get innocuous' is akin to a serious lsd trip. i just guessin'. it gets bonus points, too, for a clever title, as it's anything but innocuous.
there are few bands out there that actually have me anxiously looking forward to what they do next. lcd soundsystem is one of them. between 'sound of silver' being my favorite album of the year and these two songs among my very most favoritist, i think it's safe to declare lcd soundsystem favorite band of the year. james murphy, i salute you. again and again and again. and again.

Such a good album, one of those where each song has its turn at being the favorite. Currently, mine is also Get Incocuous, but overall, North American Scum is probably my champ. I laugh everytime he says "And for those of you who still think we're from England...we're not...no."
