1999 in music. • Page 12

Actually yeah I take my post back. "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" was on some comp that I had and it sucks, so it caused me to not want to listen to LCD Soundsystem for a long time

 

I need to still read Meet Me in the Bathroom, but outside of a select few of that crew of coked up NYC 00s bands, I was never really in love with them. The Strokes are good. Interpol is my favorite

 

"Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" is one of like two songs of theirs I actually like. Haha

 

Interpol rules and I say that with really only listen in to their first album. I didn’t bother to listen to any of the other ones

 

JK

 

A fellow New America fan! I love that album for the autobiographical lyrics. A Streetkid Named Desire is such a fun song.

 

Even not being super into a lot of those bands, I enjoyed the book. It's a really impressive piece of oral-history reporting, if nothing else.

I'm actually shocked by this. Haha

 

Daft Punk Is Playing At My House is good y'all trippin', it's just a joke

 

i know the story behind it. that doesn’t mean it’s a good song.

 

Someone Great is by far the best LCD song, which says a lot in a world where All My Friends exists.

I like most of their songs though, they range from fun at worst (for the most part) to legitimately amazing. Daft Punk is Playing at My House is good imo. I feel like JM came off kind of shitty in the book but I forget, legitimately almost everyone did haha.

 

I’ve more or less been those kids before. Haha.

 

No, you're wrong. If you know the story of a song, it's a good song

 

………this is the story of a girl who cried a river and drowned the whole world

 

you joke, but I used to love that album. I know you're shocked, act shocked.

 

For the longest time I thought Interpol was from Liverpool or something. Granted I never consciously listened to them, just seemed like the name of a band from Liverpool.

 

it’s gonna be your number one next week

 

I thought they were English for a while as well.

 

Spoiler: it's in the top 15. Double spoiler: it IS #15

 

The UK so badly wanted Interpol, The Strokes and The Killers to be English.

 

Also thought they were English lol damn

 

Can I just have The Fragile at all 3 spots???

If not then my top 3 will go like this:

1. Nine Inch Nails- The Fragile
2. Rage Against the Machine- Battle of LA
3. Slipknot- Slipknot

 

hell yeah

 

"Into the Void" is truly one of the funkiest songs.

 

like they need to play this live more than twice

 

the version of La Mer from the wave goodbye tour might be the best single song i’ve ever seen live
