this is outstandingly awkward and i love it
artsdegree when people think too much they tend to studder and repeat themselves like he's doing right now
not really
Him: the first track was tricky to sing and it has a long quiet intro
Me: the first track is head over heels better than every other song ever recorded by anyone in history
No
Yes
There are songs on this record that are better. I Can Change is better. Home is better.
@@grrggrrg4805 wrong
@@Andor. prove me wrong
homie used the term simp in 2010
James was ahead of the game.
and no one talks about it it’s so funny
I wonder did he mean simp like it is known now(doubtful, i guess) or simp as in short for simpleton? He was talking about making stupid love songs so I feel like either would work given the context
simp has been around for a long time
Man, his songs are sheepish combination of hilarious, sad, and awesome. I love LCD Soundsystem.
Hi everybody, the second song on my record is called Drunk Girls!!
could have watched this without Drunk Girls playing over and over quietly in the back ground.
Oh so you’re more of a sober boy huh?
This is Happening is one of the best albums in the past 20 years, all because of Murphy’s spectacular production
My speakers blew out first time listening to the record as well.
It also got me kicked out of my apartment.
It also made me jump out of my chair and sprain my back.
Then my girlfriend broke up with me.
Tim M I went to comment "worth it" but I saw someone already agreed.
this was a rollercoaster of emotions
what an utterly lovely guy
The voice of an entire generation. Still love listening to "This Is Happening" and also thoroughly enjoy Murphy's work on the Greenburg soundtrack. Still waiting for a solo release.
I love how average-Joe he is.
Average James
i’ve watched this vid at least ten times. such a fascinating creative mind
he was on the juice! this man is the best. cant wait to hear from you again soon.
i really enjoy this guy's interviews. Love his music, but good interviews also.
when i realized the bassline of home was like the one from losing my edge i flipped my shit
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that's what he was talking about.
Judge Russell Holy Shit i just realized that as i read this comment thats fucking brilliant
It is not the same bass line guys. listen again closely.
Can we all appreciate possibly the first use of the word “Simp” in a different context than it was used in 2020??
Wild
Simp was actually short for simpleton before the new 2020 definition. That's where The Simpsons got their name.
7:40 I did not realize that 'simp' was this old
I saw LCD at the El Rey in 07 and they completely blew me away. The entire place was bumpin & dancin. So great!
I'll guess the person in the more successful rock ensemble is Win Butler from Arcade Fire.
+William Ryan Maybe Jeff Tweedy, Julian Casablancas, or Wayne Coyne?
+William Ryan definitely because of his "shut up and play the hits" comment at the last show
It's Dave Grohl
Wooh! James Murphy representing Philly!
Not to burst your bubble, but Mr. Murphy is from Jersey.
This is an amazingly insightful video. I wish more artists did these kind of things
Great story for "Somebody's Calling Me" ,So hilarious that "woke up" happens in the middle of that timeline for the song. " I started it, wrote it, woke up, recorded it in a day." lol
He writes them. Hits that is. Top of the Pops much love
dance yrself clean is amaaaazing!
7:35 2010 usage of "simp"
James was ahead of his time
He's a talented boy!
LOL, "I juiced for this record, i cheated" hahaha
I love his stories
Am I the only one that hears "All I want" being influenced by David Bowie's "Heroes" ...
And "I can change" being influenced by The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" (No change, I can't change, I can't change...) --
Or am I crazy?
"I Can Change" is influenced by "Love Is a Stranger" by Eurythmics. Sounds just like it.
That’s funny I always thought All I Want sounded like Bowie
i definitely hear heroes
James is the best!!
I was certain he got the idea for Somebody's Calling Me from Iggy Pop's Nightclubbing. He said it was during panic attacks and he was heavily medicated to deal with all the anxiety and he wrote it.
Still think The Idiot had some unconscious influence. It's probably the most claustrophobic, anxiety, coked out, paranoid music I've ever heard.
Wow, hadn’t heard this song til now. You are right on the money.
Was he surfing with Win Butler?
I thought maybe Eddie Vedder, who knows?... Wish he dropped that name!
this video is awesome
All my friends
Home and Losing my Edge have the same bass line
No it does not. On losing my edge he hits the root and the 7th
I sould listen to more Belgian dark wave synth guitar drum machine punk
We all should
Genius!
I bet you're a brilliant writer. I hear the best novelists don't use capital letters or correct punctuation. Just so you know, he did that jogging piece because he had always wanted to write a long piece of music and there aren't that many platforms do to that any more. So when nike said they wanted him to write a long piece of music for them, he decided he would. I doubt it was too much about the money.
Listen to it and read what Murphy had to say about it
"drunk people trying to negotiate romantic involvement" is always funny to him?! hahaha
I'd love to know about even a single time he was eavesdropping on one sort of "negotiation"! ha
Mark .E . Smith! RIP!!
in the movie James is introducing some guests on stage and one of them yells at him to stop introducing them and "shut up and play the hits."
YeggmanX win butler from arcade fire
@notsert123 I wear My Sound of Silver t-shirt with such pride!
Got bills to pay.
I took anxiety meds and went swimming, .... just... 👍🏼 ... ME
@XerohiroSampson do ya thing! :D
James Murphy used the word simp in 2010...
Just saw this man on The Soup. He is SO talented... Hot too XD
he is probably kidding
Yeah, so quiet that it sounds like bleed from the headphones of the guy sitting next to you on a plane. What is with that?...
@superjulian100 I want too
drugs
GORILLAZ
ok
Really? You really couldn't think of another phrase that gets repeated more than dance yourself clean?
Well the title aaaAAAAH aaaaaooooh would've been confusing
What else is repeated more?
Present Company would have been a terrible title
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
Fuck off
nothing "wrong" with it, but when you pretend like you're some kind of alternative artist, naming your documentary "shut up and play the hits", like he's a victim of mass marketing or something.
enchantrand-esque it’s a reference to what win butler yelled at him during the last LCD performance not a cop out for being a victim of mass marketing
