Philly heads up: Free LCD Soundsystem show
Maybe this will get the (currently MIA) illadelph Swankster off his ass and back in the posting saddle. The city of brotherly love is throwing a party with LCD Soundsystem performing for free! Well, not exactly how its going down. LCD Soundsystem is doing Myspace's "the List" thing and you can go for free if you do the following:
FREE SHOW LCD Soundsystem Philadelphia, June 6thGET ON THE LIST,its easy as…
1. Add LCD Soundsystem and The List to YOUR Top Friends.
2. Send a MESSAGE to The List with your name/e-mail answering this question:
Q: What does DFA (James Murphy's Record label) stand for?
3. Once you're on The List we'll send an e-mail with venue info and instructions on how to pick up your tickets for you and one guest.
LCD has the midas touch and Sound of Silver rules like none other so this is excellent news for Philadelphia. In related good news, the team to beat in the NL East is almost at .500. Way to go fellas!

Doesn't it seem odd that singles still get official releases these days? Hard to believe anyone needs further convincing to buy this album. Though I'm aware the bubble that we reside in is not representative of the general population. Anyway "All My Friends" is the next single.

As previously reported on Spring Time Dance Party, "Freak Out/Starry Eyes" is included as a b-side to the new single. Advice: Best heard with volume set to dangerous. Especially during the out of left field "Moby Dick" drum break. Oh and as also previously reported Franz Ferdinand covered "All My Friends" too:
Franz Ferdinand - "All My Friends" (LCD Soundsystem cover) LINK REMOVED
Our Scottish friends sub sharp guitar chords for Murphy's frantic piano in this honorable yet distinctly more Rock cover. Ending with a tight turn into classic Franz for the goodbye sign-off of stomping flair and self assurance. Threatening a vicious pounce before abruptly cutting out.
Lads, I'm still hungry. -MS

I think the singles thing is just in the UK. They've always had a thriving singles market for whatever reason. But shit, the extras on this one make it totally not a gyp.

Ah man, that Phillies "team to beat" thing is going to stay around for a while.
