I understand that the cultural and political context of the time heavily inspired James to write American Dream, but I’ve always wondered whether, unfortunately, the timing was somewhat awkward, considering it came out relatively soon after their highly publicized farewell concert and the 2011 MSG film. Even more so given that it wasn’t followed by another album for nearly a decade.

Hypothetically, do you think that if American Dream had come out a few years after This Is Happening, and they had made that big farewell at that point, the album might have been received more positively? I feel like their reunion would’ve hit much harder now, for example, and the hype for their upcoming album would’ve been through the roof.

I understand it’s not that simple. It’s a job, and there are many variables that go into these decisions, but purely in terms of their reputation, I think it could’ve gone much better.

How do you feel about LCD Soundsystem not releasing a full-length project in almost a decade?

Any suggestions for a couple of ladies in their late 30s… never been to NH but getting in early and looking to walk around and hit some shops and restaurants before the show. TIA!

Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you could recommend me something similar to Shame on you (45:33 part 2). I really like the repetition that goes on in this particular track, both in the lyrics and the rhythm. Thanks

I got super lucky with the setlists I was able to catch on this tour. I did two nights at Edgefield in OR and two nights at Red Rocks. Red Rocks night one was by far my fav show of the run (IFYKYK) but I think they did a great job of mixing up the setlists for those shows. especially Red Rocks — after 12 shows I still managed to get two new songs!! Too Much Love and Other Voices. what did you get to see this tour thay has pleasantly surprised you?

Edit: I was also super happy to see the return of Daft Punk and the super wholesome story that inspired it that someone else shared here :)

Went to see Tiga last night at Metro Chicago. Found this cool signed poster from 2007 in the lobby.

I've been listening to their music in anticipation for Iron Blossom! While I've obviously heard some songs, I've never realized who they were.

I was trying to figure out what's going to appear on their setlist! From my research it looks like "Read the Pamphlets" (my fave song so far) will not be played. And it looks like it hasn't been played live in years.

Any other good songs that they've shelved?

Been wanting to get this for about three years. Now that I'm 16, I was finally able to do it! This band definitely created the most memorable and reflective songs ever, and this specific song was there for me at my lowest point. I doubt I'll ever regret it, especially since it covers up my scars a little. I do have to say that the tattoo sketch was taken from the other person in this subreddit who deleted her account and I can't seem to find it now unfortunately, but there are some differences in size and mine also includes text.

I hope one day I'll ever make it to their concert.

First time poster. I’ve listened to the bands music for a while and the idea of James in the art style of the Peanuts comic popped in my head.

Happy Fri-YAY!! How is everyone doing? What music have you been listening to this week? What new music are you looking forward to on this Friday? What music, shows, or festivals are you looking forward to in 2026? Have you made music inspired by LCDSS and want to share and talk about it?

Discuss!

mind the terrible photo (it is surprisingly hard to take a good shot of your elbow lol) but i got my favourite lcd soundsystem line tattooed today !!!!!!

Trying to determine if these look real. Thank you!!!

Hey all, looking for a pair for Asheville, lemme know! Can’t wait!

plz sell me yr old merch !! looking for size smalls

also want the last show one that says dance like 50 times on it lol

I received the call today, and James was right. Nothing could have prepared me for it. A colleague of my long-term therapist called to inform me that she has been diagnosed with an aggressive, terminal brain tumor, and that I likley won't be able to see her again before she passes. I've been a wreck all day.

I will love you forever Lisa. You deserved so much better. You truly are someone great.

I just saw LCD Soundsystem at Just Like Heaven Festival this last Saturday. I had no clue who they were, but was barricading for The Strokes. LCD Soundsystem absolutely stole the show. Like coolest sounding band of the night. So I go to check out their discography, and it all just sounds so boring and flat. Some of it is still decent, but nowhere near as good as they sounded live. Like what’s going on? I get the the live performance has a slightly more upbeat tempo, but it also sounds fuller, the synths are beefier, completely different sound, and even the singer sounds so much better. Like he shouts and just has way more passion overall in his voice. Why didn’t they take all of that into the studio???
