it would really have made me wonder if daft punk would put out any new good stuff.

the last album definately killed them (for me) !

[V Knid esq]

Daft Punk have an album recorded and ready to go. The only reports I've heard were third-hand, that it is "interesting".

[tsr_tomas]

Yeah, Lcd soundsystem. thats what i said to my brother when i stod in the kitchen making mackaroner. then he said it was Daft punks new shit. and i was WOW. has lcd soundsystem and daft punk collabed?!?! now thats cool.


but no. my dreams got smashed. buuuhuuu ; (

[tsr_tomas]

when did lcd soundsystem release a album?!?!

[tsr_robban]

the album is called lcd soundsystem and released 2005, so i guess recently :)

[tsr_tomas]

sooper.

(are you also going out to celebrate fombianens födelsedag today!?!?).

[halo]

i loved discovery.

and lcd soundsystem - yeah (crass version) is just a lovely track. hehe.

[thembuzz]

i'm with halo - discovery rocked like a bastard. i preferred it to homework, and i don't care how uncool that makes me

definitely looking forward to getting the lcd album. yeah is a monster. wicked live

plenty of room. just me and napolean dynamite

discovery is a truly great record - unpretentious, life-affirming pop. whenever i hear digital love i drop to my knees and thank mother gaia for giving me ears

[Lady E]

ive just read a review of the eponymously titled lcd soundsystem album, and it's out now i believe.

i think i will buy it despite postive references to daft punk contained within. i dislike them quite intensely.

Now, you really shouldn't! I'm with the small bunch who admit to liking 'discovery' - pop!

[Lady E]

well they name checked neil landstrumm on one of their albums, not sure which one - for that, i appreciate them. had a couple of good videos. but i wouldnt ever spend money on their music, because whilst being acceptable pop, there are so many better more interesting bands out there. those helmets, whilst attractive were desperately pretentious and annoying, and they did a Gap advert. i rest my case.

[gypsy_cream]

that track was daft punk - teachers

[thembuzz]

yeah, the gap advert was a very, very bad move. but it wasn't the music's fault its creators went wrong. don't blame the music

[stinkfinger]

i fucking hate LCD soundsystem and the horse they rode into town on

...the new juan mclean 10" is magic though

[darny.m]

i think i heard this tune on mtv2 and it seemed pretty bland despite solid production.

[marcel]

hey, i was just recently tthinking of starting a thread about lcd soundsystem cause i like em a lot.
sometimes erutufon scares me. a wee bit.

[jukka]

i even wouldn't let daft punk play in my cellar.
discovery was simply a piece of
crap......

[tsr_tomas]

talk about diffrent opinions about lcd and daft now.


personaly i like lcd soundsystem, saw them live. thought they where a great live-act, even thou the drummer succeded to destroy his drumset acouple of times.
havn´t heard the album. but the "losing my edge" and cover on "give it up" is nice.

also, homework is a sooper piece of vinyl. damn good if you ask me. discovery isn´t my bag. don´t think it´s bad thou. not sooper good like homework either.

[jukka]

homework was a great album imo (also not all of the tracks), but discovery is simply shit.......and made me loosing all my respect for homework as well.

[thembuzz]

yo, i wanted to write "made me loose all my respect for daft punk" instead of "made me loose all my respect for homework".

grrr! what do you mean, "acceptable" pop? why should pop be classified according to whether it's acceptable or unacceptable? either you like it or you don't, end of

i'm getting very tired of people looking smugly down their noses at pop music. it's a genre in its own right just like any other and deserves to be judged on its own merits just like any other. it's not fisher-price music, it's not sub-music, it's music. m-u-s-i-c. music. not liking pop doesn't make one better, more sophisticated or more intelligent than someone who does

where do we draw the line, eh? where does 'bad' music end 'good' music begin? does something stop being good when it sells so many units? because that would mean writing off a lot of bands and artists that i've seen championed here. does it depend on whether or not a song's performer wrote it? then we might as well pretend music didn't exist between the birth of popular music in the early 20th century and the late 1960s. 'craftsmanship'? 'quality' songwriting? well, then please be upstanding for the most important band of our time - stereophonics! and we can't very well look at melody because then we'd be applying objective principles to something that's entirely subjective

if people at one end of the popular music spectrum start sneering at people at the other end, then we might as well give in and accept that all music produced after the last note of debussy's final composition is actually shit and that none of us should have bothered. dad's right, everyone! modern music is rubbish! it's all just noise and you can't hear the words! and that modern art - pah!

aaaagggggghhhhhhhh!

sorry, emma. this wasn't directed at you. i just snapped

[komakid]

i like daft punk.
i don't like the stereophonics.

[TheWasp]

for fuck sake matey , lets all leap to the defence of pop music eh :(

the point is .......wether it's pop , house , dance , disco or a blatant grab at some cash , discovery (IMO) is shite.

and if the next album is anything like it , it will be shite too

Of course there is loads of good pop music , and loads of good music that has shifted loads of units , but discovery is not one of them .

sorry , it's just shite

i wasn't necessarily ranting about everyone's criticism of discovery. i was going off on a tangent

but why not leap to the defence of pop music? what exactly is wrong with pop music? can you define it for me?

you might not believe this, but pop doesn't emanate directly from the tip of satan's cock, you know

[TheWasp]

music for the masses innit , and i did say there was loads of good pop music

[TheWasp]

if i pretend to like it , can we be pals ;)

[halo]

discovery rocks.

:D

gerroff! you'll hate pop music, i'll like it, we'll rip each other's skin off, then we'll go for a nice refreshing pint, and later enjoy a drunken singalong to the songs of oasis in the proper male-bonding fashion

So you don't think something like good music taste exists? I think there is, people who listen more to music develope a better taste. Sure there is allot of "good" music that i personaly don't like.

what, like pop is music for beginners? music for the uninitiated? music people who don't know any better? god, no!

pop's just like any other genre - there's good and bad, and the record-buying public does actually know the difference between the two. that's why britney spears sells shitloads of records and janet jackson gets her nips out at big sporting events

[Lady E]

i love pop music. im a lifelong fan.

i meant it was acceptable to me.

ie if i was listening to radio one (and this would be in the past when DF had hits, as i rarely listen to R1 any more) and it came on, i could have a sing/ hum along and enjoy it but not as much as hearing something i really like, and not as little as something i really hate.

is that ok with you?

i agree that people are not stupid, a great deal of popular (for which we are really talking about chart music now) is very good etc. but the nation also deems things popular that are quite clearly devoid of anything to recommend them. id cite westlife as a good example of this. compared to take that or even boyzone in their prime, this lot are dreadful. they are hugely successful and have been for several years now. it is important, whilst relishing the democratic nature of popular music, to retain one's critical faculties too.

[JE:5]

I really hated discovery, mainly because it reminds me of the overpriced, shiny trousered wearing cokefiend sexpest winebar hangouts that I used to live near.

of course westlife are an abomination, but their audience is chiefly composed of pubescent kids who are buying into the brand as much as - or even more than - the music itself. they're getting something else out of it

but like you say, people aren't stupid, even kids. especially kids, in fact, and especially these days. children have short attention spans and very little patience. you can't convince them to like something they don't. you put something in front of them and they're not into it right away, they'll piss off and go and snort some glue in a telephone box or something. westlife clearly offer something they want. i dunno, maybe blind date contestants doing karaoke is every teenage girl's ultimate fantasy these days
