My good friend Greg sometimes sends me tunes he's loving as and when he comes across them. Which is quite often as he's a cool music aficionado. The latest song he's sent me is an absolute corker. Never really listened to much LCD Sound System before but "All My Friends" is off their latest album, Sound of Silver and it is frigging awesome.
He pointed me to this line in the song: "you spend the first five years trying to get with the plan, and the next five years trying to be with your friends again". Magic, and absolutely nails the feeling i think a lot of young people go through working in a "grown up job" for a while. I couldn't find the rest of the lyrics online anywhere, but did find this article on the album, and the song, and the line. It's from Marathon Packs, a cool but very clever music blog. The author uses the words "insidious", "sinuous" and "motif" in the same sentence, but in spite of that Marathon Packs is now a new found favourite of mine.
You can listen to it on their MySpace page.
