I survived Nu Metal.
I was a few years younger than the sarcastically portrayed "generation" above, but I was definitely into it. I feel like I never really listened to the lyrics though, and was responding to it as loud, visceral music

Shows
I kinda feel the way about every LCD Soundsystem show I've been to that Kyle felt about the Pitchfork one (that I was also at). The "defining" moment or whatever feels different every time though. The last time they played in Chicago, "Yeah" was that way for me. Completely unselfconscious enjoyment of things…
"The Funny or Die Tour"
I saw the aforementioned tour he went on. and the full, embarrassing title is "Funny or Die Presents The Axe Twisted Humor Tour"
Yes, he asked that everyone dress in white. He also had a boy in pajamas lay next to his piano on a bear skin rug. Not kidding.
Manshun
James Murphy said some of his assistants experienced haunting type happenings at Rubin's place too. There's an 8 part making of they put online to promote the album. Worth watching.
It was really funny.
Pilot
I really enjoyed the Pilot and that sketch posted in the interview.
The Beautiful Person
I'm sure there's others, but one that keeps coming back to me is "La Belle Personne" Christophe Honore's 2008 film. I saw it first at the European Union Film Festival at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago in March of 2008. It was a sold out show, and the audience seemed to respond well to it.…
It must have been hard to find someone to convert VHS to digital on such short notice.
Good Stuff
I saw them play live last year and they're solid. I really like the new album too, it gets rid of some of the fashionable low-fi recording techniques used in the EP and puts the songs more front and center. What they're doing seems genuinely inspired, as well. That is, they're not trying to capitalize on a…
This is really bad, right?
I mean….right?
I can't stop laughing at "I cannot respond to you, because it's totally unknown to me what you just said, and also very boring."
Southie!
Pork chop say bye.
"He did have one thing you haven't got."
Bad News Guys
Rodney was just fired for singing on the job.
Yrself
I won't post a list here since I have a blog and got that out of my system a while ago, but I will say that LCD Soundsystem is my number one.
Yerp.
The Walkmen
Wrote a pretty good Christmas song of their own. Which I cannot remember the name of. But is awesome.
And now, the Sketch Show!
Literally every sketch was either a fake TV or a commercial parody.
Conaw
I've loved the show so far but I especially enjoyed tonights.
