OK, I cannot tie this to movies in any meaningful way (Though Cale has composed numerous film scores – “Basquiat,” “I Shot Andy Warhol” and “American Psycho” being three notable ones; LCD was used on the now-defunct, “The O.C.,” and Franz played in “9 Songs“).
LCD Soundsytem‘s “All My Friends” is one of the songs of the year, goddammit, it’s so friggin’ good. I don’t think I’ve heard a song that particularly identifies being a 33-42 year-old living in New York, ever. The song is catching on and everyone is loving it. Franz Ferdinand just did a cover and then former Velvet Underground violist/renaissance man John Cale just trumped them with his amazing version of the song.
The lineage, however starts with Galaxie 500‘s “Snowstorm,” the third track from their 1989 sophomore disc On Fire. LCD’s ‘Friends’ verses melody subtly tips its cap to the verses melody in Mr. Wareham‘s song. Check it.
Update: The LCD video is online.
