LCD Soundsystem - "Live Alone"

LCD Soundsystem - "Live Alone": "What may be the last 'new' LCD song - a cover of Franz Ferdinand's 'Live Alone'. Here, LCD puts FF through a Bowie filter: the song starts with Mike Garson-esque piano rambles, but moves into the Bowie/Eno vocals of his late 70s work, along with some new wave disco styling from the same period. A curious but intriguing workout. (Also worth noting: LCD may be returning the cover favor to FF, who previously covered LCD's 'All My Friends' for one of their EPs some years back. I love worth mutual admiration societies like this one.)"
