I don't remember when or where I heard my first LCD Soundsystem track--it might actually have been a remix. But once I heard them, I was hooked; in many ways, James Murphy's music has been a backdrop for the past few years of my life.
From the early stuff that I discovered much later ("Losing My Edge") to more recent tracks like "All My Friends" and "I Can Change," these are songs that I've danced to, moped to, and driven really fast to.
This week, LCD play their final five shows. I'm pretty sad to see them go, but also incredibly grateful that I saw them play an amazing set at Treasure Island last year.
It's times like this that I remember why I, a wee thing of 5'4", push my way to the front row to see the bands I love. Thanks for the years of great music, LCD Soundsystem.
