heLCD Soundsystem Blond Boring and Freakin Awesome By Helen Bach

I’m like the White Rabbit.
I’m late. So perhaps you hip bastards (ahem Iman) were years and years ahead of me in this discovery.
  
It is new to me

 

Hello LCD Soundsystem.
1- the bands name is dumb
2- they are not attractive


These 2 factors got them shunned. I judge books by their covers. Occasionally a book is left open and I skim the page and become entranced. Only to check that cover and realize I had passed it by earlier.

Meh, a risk I’m willing to take. I’m a video generation girl, I want to see you, I want a cool name on my t-shirt.

So its easy to see how I missed this.

Yes I write for this blog, yes I speak to Iman daily, hundreds of times..yeah hes written about them.
 Honestly I don’t have time to read stuff.  I’m busy.

So on my birthday I was googling cool songs about getting old and I loved the title “I’m Losing My Edge”. Youtubed it (made Youtube a verb! hell yes!)

Dumb video but I did like that he gets repeatedly slapped.
He sounded like Christopher Walken, that’s sorta cool-ish. But he’s boring and blond.

Silly me, I told Iman I liked that song. And after my all too familiar scolding I was sent,
“I Can Change”.

A great song really, not really as hip as “Edge”, which made it more fun. It reminded me of some 80s new romantic sound, like oh I don’t know Visage or something it just had that puffy shirt vibe going on and that silly techno beat.

But

I wont dance- don’t ask me.
