I Am Losing My Edge

New Music... LCD SOUNDSYSTEM

When was it that Brooklyn became the center for all things hip? When I lived in NYC in the mid-1970s, Brooklyn was Nowheresville. I spent the Naughty Aughts loving various Brooklyn bands: GRIZZLY BEAR, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, MGMT, ST. VINCENT, VAMPIRE WEEKEND. My love affair with LCD SOUNDSYSTEM's dance/punk continues into the new decade with the release of their new album- This is Happening with the nasty little single- Drunk Girls. I totally dig it, even if I would be shunned by the Brooklyn hipsters (correct, Little Jake?). LCD Soundsystem is the musical project of American producer James Murphy, co-founder of the label- DFA Records.
