In denial about the need to head back to work tomorrow? Well, if you’re in New York, we can’t think of a better way to make poor decisions than to attend Pat Mahoney’s weekly WHOCARESWINS party at Nur Khan’s Electric Room in the basement of the Dream Hotel on 16th St. and 9th Ave. On this particular evening, the former LCD Soundsystem drummer will be joined by his longtime Special Disco Version partner, James Murphy.

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…
This is it now. We swear….

We’re pretty sure you’re all sick of LCD Soundsystem think pieces by now, so let’s just get straight to photos from last night, shall we? As always, be sure to click on any of the shots for a slideshow version of the entire set.
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…
Shit Robot‘s Losing My Patience 12”—featuring Alexis Taylor’s vocals and the co-writing credits of LCD Soundsystem‘s James Murphy—drops on DFA April 18th.
While this unofficial LCD Soundsystem video was already logging quite a few views yesterday, we wanted to make sure all of you see it. And hey, while you’re at it, you can still watch Kermit’s rendition of “New York I Love You” along with a director’s commentary here.
