today's song: 13th july, 2024 - 'New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down' by LCD Soundsytem (2007)

'genius' description: According to Paste Magazine’s Bo Moore: The close to 2007’s Sound of Silver, ‘New York I Love You’ is Murphy’s love letter to his home. At once a ballad of love and hatred, the slow build exhibits the same faltering-but-beautiful vocality observed on ‘I Can Change’. Gradually developing momentum into a tumultuous climax, just like the city, the song isn’t perfect, but it’s better that way. The hook, also the title of the song, summarizes Murphy’s love-hate relationship with New York, which is where we imagine he spent a lot of time since he was raised in New Jersey. Murphy admits that NY may still have the appeal of opportunity and endless new people to meet, but for him it’s hard to see the good in NY anymore. This song is his message on what’s wrong with NY, though he reminds us that it’s a personal one.

personal thoughts: nothing quite beats the build up in this song, it is so special, and filled to the brim with passion, and disillusionment. this was the song that got me into LCD soundsystem, and thank god for that. really a highlight on the whole record (next to Us v Them!).

what about you? what are your thoughts on LCD Soundsystem? can you relate to the notion of a difficult love-hate relationship with a location?

if you like this... check out hot chip, animal collective, yeah yeah yeahs, maybe bleachers ('strange desire' / 'gone now')

My best friend's rescheduled birthday party was this weekend. It was great. A few people were not able to make it, but it was the perfect amount of people tbh. I didn't get overwhelmed, and I actually got to talk to everyone. It was 10 people + Aries and I. And it only took me an hour to clean up afterward.

There was a woman my friend and I met at a queer event, and she was a bit of a wild card. We didn't know her that well, but my interactions with her have all been sunshiney and she's ridiculously cute, so I felt confident we'd get along.

Anyway, I had my playlist going and she said "wait wait wait is this LCD Soundsytem? Whoever's playlist this is is amazing btw...New Order, the Cure...." and I was like "Yes. Hello. 👀👀👀👀 Let us discuss."

She loves New Romantic fashion and New Order and oh god, oh hell yeah. She is the only person around my age that I have met that I have been able to drop the term 'New Romantic' and have them instantaneously know what I mean.

She's going to come to goth night with me!! Not the soonest one, but another in the future. I am so happy. Having someone to talk to about your weird fixations is really nice.

What a lovely night it was. I allowed myself to order food (which I never ever do), because I had only eaten a bagel the whole day and since I don’t like many foods other than the things I eat everyday, I didn’t know what to order. Five Guys was tempting me but I told myself it was too expensive. Getting impatient I gave in. It was only the second time I ever ate five guys and well… it was basic and overpriced but that milkshake?! Popcorn-Peanut Butter-Bacon! The best thing to have on my period. And the delivery guy was the kindest and fastest guy ever.

It was 10pm and I was in my pyjama, freshly showered, my hair still wet, I decided to go to the cinema. It was time for the art house sneak preview. There were so many people there today! I can tell winter is approaching, because people are going to the cinema and theatre again. I got some sweets and that ginger lemonade and chatted with my colleagues. The office girl was also going to watch the preview and we ended up watching together!!! I normally sit in the corner of the very last row in that hall, but for her I made the exception of sitting in the front. And we ended up sitting next to that cute neighbour of mine! I want to be friends with her, but she’s like 30 and I don’t know how to approach her, I also rarely see her. Anyway! The movie!! A Different Man. I saw the trailers and loved that they used LCD Soundsytem’s New York I love you, which I listened to on repeat in October. I loved the movie a lot.

I thought I’d be ok missing out on the Verboten festival but it turns out, I wasn’t. FOMO got me because of Light Asylum. I am so glad I went.

I was at the rail for Light Asylum and got to dance with the singer of Creux Lies. Also discovered Hallows!

The ending act wasn’t my fav, but hey, whatever. Everyone has their own tastes, and 3 out of 4 is pretty rad.

I REALLY can’t justify the other days considering I’m going to the most expensive show of my life next Friday. LCD Soundsytem better blow my tits right off.
