since losing my edge, i've been a huge lcd soundsystem fan. other dfa stuff is hit or miss for me but lcd has just grown on me so much that i want to have murphy kids.

somehow contrived (mostly by being broke) to never see lcd play live until i put my live-savings of $300 on the hook and headed for coachella 07. unlike 70% of the crowd, ratm and rhcp were not on my itinerary. it was lcd and a few other bands. coachella was great. lcd blew my mind.

having a memory like a teaspout, i can't recall the setlist at all. the band were as happy jamming as they were playing tunes -- and lcd are one of the few acts whose jamming i found as fun and amazing to hear as their best tunes.

IF YOU HAVE THE SETLIST OR A DECENT QUALITY RECORDING OF THE SET, HIT ME UP?

ok -- i'm going to post this and make my name in history as first lcd reviewer lest some other beta user beat me to the punch. checks out the pics and vids from my bf at the time. i stole his camera.
