Now here’s something we didn’t expect to see at Sundance this year: a deeply personal documentary on the final days of LCD Soundsystem, as directed and produced by the same people who were behind Blur’s GRAMMY-nominated No Distance To Run film. Check out the trailer below, and keep your eye on SHUTUPANDPLAYTHEHITS.com for info on upcoming screenings. You can also stream LCD’s final show in its entirety here…

Since quite a few of you have asked about a quality recording of last week’s LCD Soundsystem show, we tracked down a soundboard-quality set of the whole shebang. Be sure to stream your favorite songs below, and try not to tear up during “All My Friends,” okay?

We’ll share our shots from last night’s LCD Soundsystem show in a little bit, but for now, here’s one of its many highlights…

As LCD Soundsystem heads into the Big Dance portion of its final week as one of indie rock’s only truly entertaining live bands, we thought we’d share the free remix iTunes unloaded on fans this week—Holy Ghost!’s DayGlo rendition of “Drunk Girls,” which is arguably better than the original. Or at the very least, laser-guided and synth-laced in the areas where James Murphy kept things intentionally simple. It’s available after the jump along with Holy Ghost’s Mad Libs entry in our new issue…

As some of you know, self-titled didn’t spring from the bedroom of some disgruntled teenager or college dropout. It was the next logical step for the editorial staff of DIW, a mid-sized music magazine that didn’t want to continue putting out print issues in a world of declining ad sales and wasted trees.

One of the last stories we ever ran was LCD Soundsystem’s first U.S. cover feature (the Wire beat us by a few years), which was shot by DFA’s future in-house photographer, Ruvan Wijesooriya, and written by the Philadelphia City Paper’s founding food blogger, Drew Lazor.

According to our art director, James Murphy thinks this story is quite the bathroom read. Find out why below, as we shared a proud moment in proto-s/t history in honor of LCD’s final shows this week…
