Everybody needs validation at certain times in their life. Art serves two, primary functions: 1) to challenge 2) to comfort. Last week, I discovered a group of artists that are firmly providing me with heaping tablespoons of comfort.
LCD Soundsystem has just released a fantastic album called Sound of Silver and it rocks. If you haven't heard of LCD Soundsystem, you have to immediately stop what you're doing and go buy a copy of their first, self-titled album.
That's o.k.... I can wait...
Here's a music video of one of the goofier songs to prod you along...
Good stuff. It's always nice to have an indie rock album you can actually listen to on an exercise bike (my current obsession).
Well, now you have to go out and get their newest album that continues the energetic, fun pace but with the addition of two songs- "North American Scum". The second song would be my enablement Manifesto if it had been written two years go- "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down". In true, Indie fashion, the band has produced a music video for "North American Scum" that succeeds in lacking any wit AND permanently scarring the song for all future listenings.
So, close your eyes...
Now, go have some fun...

Fun! It is extremely difficult for me to find (hear about) good music. I'm not a big J-pop fan. I'll start taking notes!
