Chef for hire?

"I need to stop being in this band, and build a roof-garden in Brooklyn."

The former LCD Soundsystem front discusses his own palette and food theory in extreme and glorious detail.

of bathtubs and LCD:



I am pretty sure this is what the entirety of the indie music world did on Saturday night. While I could not make it to New York, my circumstances landed me in a free four story beach house in Alabama for the weekend. While there, I watched sets one and two streaming simultaneously from three laptops while in the bathtub with Connor and friends. A lot of splashing and red wine were involved (see photos below).

Then, I enjoyed sets three and four on a massive plasma TV (w/ surround sound Bose...oh baby!!). I have never danced so hard for a TV set in my life. My neck is very sore today...

As I am sure you have already heard, the show was perfect. LCD Soundsystem left all of us at art/official with a great taste in our mouths. They have made a lasting impression on our hearts, history books, and dance shoes. If you didn't manage to catch Pitchfork's webcast, watch it above.

*TIP TO THE READER:* 1) Display concert on large screen. 2) Invite friends 3) Drinks 4) DANCEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

The Muppets cover LCD Soundsytem in Brighton

The Muppets where in Brighton, England this past weekend enjoying the beach a quick hour train ride outside of London. Somehow while cruising the town they managed to get all their musical equipment on top of a store, set it all up, and play an unreal cover of LCD Soundsystem's Dance Yrself Clean to those passing by below. With Kermit on vocals (taking the place of James Murphy), Cookie Monster on keys, and Ms. Piggy as backup dancer/groupie, they really put on a show! One of their band members got hammered on the beach during the set on my favorite cheap beer in England, Kronenbourg, and passed out. That evening while one of the band members played a DJ set in a club on the beach, Kermit and Ms. Piggy hook up on the beach in what I imagine led to a lovely hand whammy for Kermit. I never knew The Muppets were such rock stars until this day. This is simply amazing. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do.




Lots of love,
Aaron
