LCD Soundsystem, “Bye Bye Bayou” MP3
James Murphy covered a song by Suicide’s Alan Vega and it sounds like a disco swamp in a rainstorm. But then maybe we’re just influenced by the cover art—props to the makeup artist, that shade of violet is flattering on any face. Actually it sounds like Murphy and Vega are holed up in a bunker with mood lighting and dodging the search lamps of the helicopters flying above. It’s all very romantic. LCD is giving this away to the first 20,000 subscribers only, so skip to it if you think you can’t handle the slowburning tropic thunder.

ATP New York 2009: Babies and Drums
- story Peter Macia

Boredoms’ drummer Yojiro (YO2RO) Tatekawa was carried into the main performance space on a platform carried by eight dudes, ten minutes into the already heart-exploding Boadrum 9 reprise at ATP New York last Sunday. He bashed on his drums so hard, it was unclear whether they would be able to hold him up. They did, and an hour later, Tatekawa and his bandmate Yoshimi were walking around with a bunch of awesome little Boredoms babies, on their way to participate in Oneida’s marathon 13-hour performance and then check out Boris’ volcanic replay of their album Feedbacker. Jim Jarmusch looked pretty psyched on Boris too. This was basically the vibe at Kutsher’s Country Club, a tarnished gem of the Catskills social set, where VIP is nonexistent and there was always something happening that was going to destroy your eardrums for, as of post time, at least two or three days.

Who knows why, but this video of Bruce Springsteen covering Suicide’s “Dream Baby Dream” in Jersey in 2005 just entered our mind area and we are feeling it heavily, especially since our office windows are sheathed in thick plastic, making it foggy-looking and sweltering, just like the wilds of New Jeru. Check the original after the jump.
