Sure, so lovely that a relationship can come back, strong and growing, bright, yes, and shinier than ever. Give an arm (Armacost) for that sensation to be reality. Associations with Johnny Depp, actor, in popular culture aside, what makes this line so shattering, I believe, is James Murphy's ability to weld fairy-tale premonitions (AKA Rosemary's Baby) with obvious truths and equal emotional response (AKA what could have been / the road less travelled). Popular culture and private relationship, what could be more appealing? The line cited by MP is not necessarily negative, but where are the positive edges silvering? "We are not now that strength which in old days / Moved earth and heaven." No matter how awesome the continuing relationship is and will be, it will never be again that fresh fair fine outburst of mutual recognition. And damn you, James Murphy, for making me want to cry even as I realize the richness of what I have. JM consistently finds, as artists like Owen Ashworth do, that fine point of entry in a relationship which speaks equally to each person in the relationship and to the relationship itself. And what's worth more than the connection and growing / fading electricity of a relationship? Which is why, twenty years from now, some girl (or guy) will be interviewing some other guy (or girl) about their book, How To Talk To Girls (Or Guys) About LCD Soundsystem. “But it’s never the same.” Sure, so lovely that a relationship can come back, strong and growing, bright, yes, and shinier than ever.

I'm betting that, in 20 years, people will be able to get a sense of what "the great unraveling" was like when viewed from the inside by listening to that album. @riyadh: I think Neon Bible can be seen as a strong critical response to the Bush years (and that in this regard it’s somewhat underrated).

What I find so sad and depressing is the fact that the only protest songs I can think of from the 00's are Sleater-Kinney's "Combat Rock" and Bright Eyes' "When The President Talks To God." It was one of the most fucked up decades and everybody just went along with it. Sheffield is so right about pop culture still reeling from the shock of the transition from Clinton to Bush.

I never knew about the differences in the "Wowee Zowee" advance - definitely explains the poor reviews. And the last record I bought on the first day of its release was... "Backspacer," actually. Just a fanatical PJ thing, I guess. Great interview. I never knew about the differences in the “Wowee Zowee” advance - definitely explains the poor reviews.

The song is not about getting the party started, but the loneliness of parties. It hides its true meaning between the shouted and endless repetition of the words "Drunk Girls" - the verses are like a running commentary on an empty, misogynistic radio pop song. Unless you are paying attention, you are going to miss its satiric, anguished heart. James Murphy wants you to read the meaning that is literally between the lines, but he knows that most people will only hear "Drunk Girls! Drunk Girls!" cause that's all they can be bothered to hear.

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 15:05:15 +0000 http://www.fluxblog.org/?p=3383#comment-20314 The line that slays me in "Drunk Girls" is "Sometimes love gives you too many options / Just cause you're hungry doesn't mean that you're lean." Really an incisive, almost beautiful, statement. But the astronaut line is sensational, and you're right, perhaps the portal into the entire album. I like how he doesn't specify if "never the same" is a good thing or a bad thing. I'm sure many listeners feel it's a bad thing, and he may have intended it that way, but I'm not entirely sure. It's comforting that love comes back AND that it evolves and grows.
