Losing My Edge

[conormcguire96]

i personally think this song is pretty fuckin funny

[enbdavies]

I was there.

[123carlosfandango]

'i heard you have a compilation. of every good song, ever done, by anybody' You gotta love that stone cold delivery. thanks to stanton warriors for giving LCD to me

[carlosVcomedy]

RIP 3:29

[MikeyfromNY]

"They were.. actually... really, really nice"

[KingWi11]

... i learned a lot of bands from this song. thanks james. Gil Scott Heron rules.

[Effi0123]

I am acctually belonging to these Kids why he is losing his edge. But I still adore this song!

[sethfafa]

Agreed completely with both of the two below me,

He's got such an underground sound and unique... Everything that it kinda shows how deprived of good music the mainstream really is, I somehow found LCD just a few months ago and I've been hooked since and it's been here for years

[jacoblangvadhotmail]

Dont worry mate . I was four years late.. A trusted friend said Buy - and I did. Never too late to pick up a bit of egde :-/

PS add yrself some new friends maybe?

[edgarenas]

can't believe this song came out in 2002 and I just heard this for first time in 2010. My friends are useless musically. this pisses me off =(. I like the spanish version of this song on youtube. its shows the album covers of all the bands mentioned.

[rudym55]

LCD Soundsystem's last show in Chicago? I was there.

[aphexmandelbrot]

@rudym55

I was there, too. To the right of the stage. Union park. And I did not expect this song to be played.

High5 Pitchfork buddy.

[Maximillion666]

Funny i must have heard this song a hundred times and i never get sick of it.

[digitalavatar74]

I hate hipsters.  I'm 35 years old and I listen to French electro, 80's new wave, and Vangelis. I'm a self-loathing hipster.... or a contrarian asshole.

[tuxedosponge]

Holy shit! He was there!

[fastrnb]

Anybody notice the similarity to the video of Can playing "Paperhouse" on German television?

[squiggyklane]

ya don't say...

[theogeny]

"I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band. I told him, 'Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime.'"

"But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.

And they're actually really, really nice."

LMAO

Now these are what I call great name drops.

If LCD Soundsystem were a woman, I'd be having sweaty sex with her on the dance floor.

[omabuub]

joaaaa

[gayspoon]

simon cowell?

[Jeanutti]

Kind of looks like.. :)

[dajoelsta74]

I love the way the kids who are taking his edge away (he actually likes cuz they are Really Really nice) and the first one playing Daft Punk at CBGB's and squeezing the slits in there-

this song pretty much rulz

[rio197]

"you wanna make something real" yeah

[kikichunt]

If you're going to drop names, make 'em good ones - or in this case, some GREAT ones.

We MAY be aging hipsters, but we're STILL hipsters, and we've been a long time waiting for such a pedigreed, ironic, credible anthem.

If you don't 'get' this, you're either too young (no sin) or were just never there at all (how sad)

"I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.

I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars."

ROFLMAO!

[industreal]

Are you scared to be old? Are you scared? .. Or just old.

[kikichunt]

Bless, no, on either count - should I be? Aging is rather inevitable - at least if you survive long enough. But I am slightly surprised to find I'm older than LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, given his appearance, and some of the stuff he's talking about in this tune . . . How about you?

[industreal]

Both my girls are well into their 40's .. All I have to say is good for you .

[oleedee]

oh how fabulous for you and everyone!

[thrillkillphil]

I like LCD Soundsystem, but he is not an aging hipster, he is just aging, and embarrassing to watch.

[Oli3TB76]

kinda reminds me of talking heads, esp the way he 'sings'

[servilesinner]

"borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered 80s"

"you wanna make something REAL"

[ac39]

this video was directed by fischerspooner...

[charlesmont]

I am all up for the nerdy, weird and awkward stage presence of people such as david byrne, but don't you think this guy is a little too awkward. I mean, i don't know if this is an act or not, but it doesn't matter...I actually believe too much that he hasno idea what he is doing, whic sometimes accompanies the akwardly placed lyrics. Is this a purposful 'revolutionary' musical change, or just a mirror of some guys favourite old 80's bands?....

[Rfgordils]

Neither. This is the anthem of aging hipsters. Reflecting on the stages of rock and roll that brought us to where we are today. This song is for everyone who was there through all of the important events which are now only seen in obscure rock and roll documentaries. LCD Soundsystem does a great job at capturing what made so many bands in the past great.

[Rfgordils]

(was a reply to charlesmont by the way... I don't know why my reply was moved to the top of the screen, oh well.)

[wapakman]

You got it. As an aging hipster he speaks volumes to me. I was there...

[madishm]

with a funny start, but good song(Y)

[jonnie1969]

KILLING JOKE - CHANGE!!!!!

[cranberry6]

I've coasted on how cool my generation is for soooo long, now we're "how cool we were."

This song brings history up to bite us in the ass.

[zzzonezz]

gen x was a blast. we are all losing our edge to the footsteps. GO LCD. thanks for the retro perspective.

[eleKtriK676]

The mention of Captain Beefheart is the best one of all since so few know who he is, and how he says he told them not to do it that way :P

[ScottFrostbender]

I don't think James'll lose his edge for a while now. He's really, really good.

[themissingboy]

David Banner.

[kenji1223445]

i was there

[holdingcompany]

he lost his edge.

[DJkevvykev]

Ha Hah! Can/Suicide/Daft Punk/CBGBs/Modern Lovers/Pere Ubu...

My son said "err - Dad, this is you"

Darn you James Murphy!! U R right.

[zzzonezz]

i think that nails it. he vaguely reminds me of the mirror in some ways. i'm really a metal head mostly but i love this shit. it's like yesterday and today all in one. thanks LCD

[9INCHNAILZ]

Thanks for posting! James Murphy is a genius. Cant wait for the new album this month.

[nobrainnobrain69]

[ih8pikeys]
