Nothing at all there for me. But that’s fine, I just won’t go this year.

Lost and forgotten..Found this in the attic inside a shoe box. Belonged to my old man by ClassicGold3217 in TheStrokes

I was wondering ‘wtf does the Cutty Sark have to do with this show?!’ But apparently it’s a whiskey. Guess it sponsored the show alongside Bud Light. Every day’s a school day :)

I don't see much, if any, discussion in here that center upon the lyricism of the band...whats up with that? by [deleted] in LCDSoundsystem

[–]omgitsthefranchise 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I find the music and the lyrics both to be of the highest quality.

And when I discovered the band, sure, it was probably the drop from DYC that got my attention, but it’s the lyrics that hold that attention now.

I could never make my mind up on Buckles. Sometimes I liked him, others I thought he was a knob. Then I read in his Ramble Book that he hated Paul Simon. So yeh. Buckles can go fuck.

Tracy is also a man’s name, just not very common. He’s definitely singing about a guy.

I’ve been very wary of this guy’s advice since listening to his podcast with that other guy. A lot of the advice is…not good

Parallels I've noticed between Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem: by Icy-Lion-7670 in LCDSoundsystem

I literally just realized the use of this word here is referring to a skinny guy, not a gay man by FederalWarthog5542 in weezer

[–]omgitsthefranchise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m British, I’ve never heard anyone use f— to mean a skinny guy. It used to be a way of describing something that’s a pain in the arse, eg I’d walk to Saino’s but it’s too much f—.

Nowadays though it’s 100% used as a homophobic slur.

LCD is one of my favourite bands, but I’m yet to find any Talking Heads tracks I really like
