In addition to listening to a lot of Panda Bear over the break, I also spent a lot of time listening to the new LCD Soundsystem album, "Sound Of Silver". As we drove through the expansive shanty towns that dotted the outskirts of Mexican cities and countryside I couldn't help thinking about the harsh irony presented by Murphy in the song 'North American Scum'. It's kind of twisted to go to a 'vacation destination' in Mexico (where we spent a few days camping) and see gated communities of all whites, literally trying to keep the Mexicans out of Mexico--fucked up, I know.
Political commentaries aside, this is a great song (and an excellent album overall), check it out:
LCD Soundsystem - 'North American Scum'
Buy "Sound Of Silver" at insound.
PS
Since I've been so stoked on LCD Soundsystem lately, I snagged and altered their record label's logo for use on the blog, I just replaced the 'DFA' in the lightning bolt with the Climate Change logo-- hopefully they don't mind.
