For those of you that think that this is something we are all going to enjoy........it's not (well for some of us).

Join Cath, Si and Stu as they dive into two albums by an artist that redefined Indie Dance Punk for a generation.

It's the awkward genius James Murphy and his disco infused band of dreamers - LCD Soundsystem and their albums Sound of Silver and This is Happening.

It's louder. It's bolder. It’s a fuck-you to nostalgia while simultaneously being the most nostalgic thing you’ll ever hear.

So, strap in and let’s see if we can figure out if this is actually happening… or if we’re just, like, all in a dream.

00:00:00 - HELLO!

00:37:08 - "Someone Great" vs "All I Want"

00:44:32 - "All My Friends" vs "I Can Change"

00:53:55 - "Us vs Them" vs "You Wanted A Hit"

01:01:35 - "Watch the Tapes" vs "Pow Pow"

01:08:09 - "Sound of Silver" vs "Somebody’s Calling Me"
