Somehow I missed out on LCD Soundsytem's previous work, including 45:33, which as the name suggests is a 45 minute download, commissioned by Nike and available on iTunes, as a download for runners. LCD Soundsytem is basically James Murphy and various guest musicians. Murphy started out playing in post-punk and hardcore bands, and was a well know producer before he got into one of my favorite genres - fun dance music with dark lyrics. This is Happening is his third full-length studio record. If you were a fan of the self titled debut or the critically acclaimed Sound of Silver, you will be very happy with this latest offering; there is no wholesale reinvention, just more of a very good thing. If you want great lyrics, you'll love "Drunk Girls," if you just want to dance, there is plenty for you on this record. LCD Soundsytem should be on your iPod, they are one of the best bands of the 2000's.
