For those of you who still think we're from England.

LCD Soundsystem is something of a curiosity to me. Some American dude doing funky electronic dance party songs that for some reason sound totally British seems like something that would piss me off a lot, but it usually doesn't. It makes more sense when you consider his past in some hardcore post-punk bands and the fact he actually turned down the chance to be a writer for Seinfeld. Apparently he's a pretty cool motherfucker. You probably have heard "Daft Punk is Playing at My House", which is pretty much the best party song ever.
This is off the new one, Sound of Silver, and features a funky ass bass line, a punk rock vocal inflection, and lyrics about how Americans aren't from England. It seems simultaneously scathing and patriotic. I imagine myself in a dark warehouse grinding on some girl who is tripping on ecstasy and having the time of my life. In that way it's quite similar to the aforementioned song about Daft Punk.
Some fat American Christians might disagree.
LCD Soundsystem - North American Scum
Easily the funnest song/video combination ever:
