lcd soundsystem dance contest

So whose ready to show the world that DC isn't a bunch of hands in the pockets stage starers and do some lockin', shagin', robotin',or any of the 1000 dances out there.
I will be on hand to serve as your DJ and dance contest judge. If I come tap you on the shoulder kindly leave the dance floor so others can bust the funky chicken.
Quick question… How intertwined is LCD Soundsystem and DFA records. Is James Murphy just an artist on the label or is behind some of the DFA remixes, etc…

Yeah it's partially his label and the remixes are done by him and Tim Goldsworthy (or is it Sweeny? I always get those 2 confused).

I think I won this competition last time, being on stage and all.
BUT, I will say that I'm definitely bringing my "A" game, and my American Apparel shit for the concert came in yesterday!

there was a small group in the middle/back by the bar that accepts credit cards. that's where my group was dancing… the rest of the people in our immediate area simply couldn't be bothered. hate that.

If you see me coughing in the DJ booth Sunday it will because of the dust being blown off the vinyl… While listening to some New Order remixes I was reminded of the cool Richie Hawtin remix of "Blue Monday" trapped on vinyl, which prompt a scan through the much neglected collection. There was the 12" inches goodness of B.A.D., Charlatans vs Chemical Bros, Clash, and Detroit Techno of several varieties all saying pick me pick me. Along with my favorite Beastie Boy instrumental b-side. Of course I'm really diggin' the Steve "Silk" Hurley of New Orders "Fine Time" at the moment. The only think I know for sure at this moment is hope those guys in Tribe Called Quest found their wallet…

this is a great interview with James Murphy.
http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/news/article/0,,4138840,00.html and last night one of the guys i was hanging out with at the kooks, is a neighbor of James. I know he mentioned something more than that, but the massive intake of beer has done nothing for my memory.
