Lose: 'Low Lights', 'Freestyle 4', 'Silver Surfer intermission', and 'Facts', then tighten up '30 Hours' and it's straight fire.
And while we're being honest I could do without 'Wolves' too.
That kid that said "Nobody likes Tidal" in front of Kanye is a god damned hero.
And as much as I dig Pablo, IMO any album that contains 'Facts' can't be considered "an absolute destroyer from front to back."
Inside scoop: I ran into Brendan Canning yesterday in T.O. yesterday, and he mentioned they were playing P4K, aaaaaaaaand plan to do more shows.
Oh and they're working on new material!!!!!
Any golden beer will do under pressure, but i suggest 2 of these for all young americans

I love the band, but i kind of wish that LCD stayed retired. Kind of takes away the bluster from that big farewell show at MSG.
I know I sound incredibly naive, no one stays retired. But I honestly thought James Murphy might.
Great, great article James, and I completely agree with your take on FRR. Being a 'Turonno' boy, these guys were basically the soundtrack to my twenties, and they always put on a helluva live show (and usually featured a full lineup) whenever they came home to play.
It's not mentioned, but I'd also highly recommend the highly underrated Kevin Drew quasi solo album "Spirit If"
Also "Cause = Time" contains one of the best guitar riffs in indie rock.
