When in 2011 LCD Soundsystem announced they are separated forever, it made it look like a really important band - a farewell concert, a documentary, a vinyl box set of their albums, and a good financial record of the venture. Six years later, however, they return and it seems no one is angry that they have a little gone wrong with the finality of their separation. Once David Bowie himself has pushed them to join, as James Murphy shares in an interview, he dares to complain, and he has nothing to do with it. The American Dream is like a rebirth, but marked by many extremes: friendship, love, the fall of heroes and a more special phantom - the American Dream. Serious topics for a project that begins as a joke. At the same time, it is so typical of Murphy, known for its effect on post-punk and art-rock sound, but in sync with the bubbling synthesizers that pierce against the backgrounds of texts disturbed by the superficial nature of life. It is worth listening if you love not only to listen to, but to look for lyrical or musical references - in this case to great men like Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Alan Vega and Bowie - all people who died in the years since the last recording of LCD Soundsystem.
The pixies must of been an influence also. You can hear it right the way through

Great track. This one reminds me of a crossover between Bowie and New Order.

Small Boy
Yesterday I had stopped at a traffic signal. As I waited for the lights to turn green, a small boy approached me. He was holding a bunch of pens in his hand. He asked me to buy some. I told him I didn't need any. He gave me a beseeching look explaining that they were very cheap. The boy had a sweet innocent face and looked tired of trying to sell his pens. I had seen him going to others but no one bought any of his pens. My friend who was with me suggested to give some money to the boy so he wouldn't bother us. I did give him money by buying two of his pens.
I explained to my friend that her suggestion would have been a deterrent to the small boy's effort to earn some money instead of begging for help. She agreed and we went on our way. The boy was trying to help his family by doing something. This I thought was commendable.
