lcd soundsystem - losing my edge

this song has been in my head ever since i rediscovered it when i went through some old cd's and found it on an output records label compilation. it's very james murphy and has all of that live feel even with a drum machine driving the track.

it has a glorious intro that sound like effected guitars & drums and it creates some tension but then it goes into a sparse groove. murphy goes on a lethargic ironic rant throughout the song and makes fun of all musicnerds, hipsters and me, well not exactly me but i know myself and i understand what murphy talks about. and i love it with the level of funky that he brings out.

it has the progression of funk music but with a rock & roll slant, i want to say punkfunk but with the drum machine it's not completely true. it also has to do with the fact that it's more house & electro music than that. all and all something that really sound like those early dfa records that everyone fell in love with.

if you listen to the vocals murphy comes off as a bigger toolbag as further you get into the track and i love it. this track is so good.
