Somber but uplifting?
Yeah I know, that video may just be the hipsterest hipster that ever hipstered. People dressed in panda suits of some sort. Weird messy performance art. It could probably use more twee. But still, I highly recommend the new album from LCD Soundsystem, This is happening. (listen to this, and be sure to keep it going through 3:09). Shit owns.
NPR calls the guy who is in charge of this group (project?) a dance-punk guru. I didn't know dance-punk was a thing until I started making this post, but hey, apparently I like it. James Murphy is the guy's name. I could type more stuff about it, no doubt, like how he had some sort of rivalry with Death From Above 1979 before they disbanded, or how I've listened to "All My Friends" like a million times or how this song sounds like Bowie. But I'm rapidly approaching the limit on amount of effort I put into this blog on a weekly basis, so if you want to know more use google you lazy fucks.
In conclusion, in case you are keeping track, the goats required summer media consumption list now looks like this:
1. Black Dynamite
2. LCD Soundsystem's This is Happening
3. Spaghetti Westerns?

It's okay to listen to the music of the hipsters, in the same way it would be okay to date their woman, colonial-style. You know, subjugation, imperialism, and what have you.
Also, did that video just end with the death of Western Civilization? (and how!).
I agree on the Spaghetti Westerns. Other than that, I'm not entirely sure I understand what just happened here.
