New LCD Soundsystem Video - "All My Friends"

Though we nominally enjoyed LCD's show at Bowery in March, it wasn't 'til their set at Coachella last weekend that we fully succumbed to the band's insatiable drive to sweat-drench its victims. A set highlight that night, along with a 12-minute "Yeah," was Sounds Of Silver's "All My Friends," which incidentally is being covered by all James Murphy's friends. The slow-moving clip's simple enough, some smoke, some mirrors, and a little water 'cause why not. Brewing fashion face off: James's suit and facepaint combination, or Brian's t-shirt and tie combination? (Thanks Travis for the heads up!)

is it just me or does anyone else hear a little joy division in this song?

Yep, it's just joy division without the poetry, or simply nostalgic new music for middle-aged (obligatory 'gum over 40 reference!) music fans who want to believe that they're still relevant. Full disclosure: I'm one, but I'm not buying into it.

Considering it's my favourite song on the album, I'm glad it's a single and all...but wow, does this song ever lose something by being cut down to radio/video length.

The video isn't bad, but disappointing that a song with such a sense of motion isn't given a video to match.

Remember in the nineties when every band could have a decent, visually-striking video? Why can't that be the case this decade? Almost every video done these days is low-budget and shitty - someone tell these directors that the two don't have to be synonymous.

i like the video. true the song loses a lot with the edit, but the vid is still pretty cool. remember the old bowie vid for life on mars? it's just bowie in a suit lip syncing and doing his little expressions. simple.

theres a part about halfway thru where he looks off to the side of the camera with this pained expression, i thought it was pretty powerful.

the piano gets annoying, but great lyrics. actually, just a great song in general.
