The best part is the little riffy thingy that you hear throughout the whole song. (stay tuned for more hard hitting investigative music journalism)

I’ve posted this on Lowsound, but I want to share it here too. Last year I got to interview James and Nancy from LCD Soundsystem thanks to Ira at ExploreMusic. It was a blast, they’re both cool as hell. I think this may be their last ever interview :).. so enjoy!

There’s an album too, naturally after this masterpiece.
As previously tweeted, this guitar right here is amazing, and because it fits in with our instrument series, it’s #111 on the blog.
Enjoy! I’m going to check out the rest of the album. Jamie XX is a bit of pimp right now in the UK.
Buy the song and listen through to 3:23 for bonus points.

This was the part where he’s heading home after his date at the beginning of the movie, running through the campus courtyard for what seems like a long time. This music actually makes you feel that an idea is brewing, but it’s the bass that tells you how important it’s going to be.

I love that instrument in the background. This is a good one to start off year #3. I thought I’d be rich by now though…
I’m doing movies now too, check it out at www.thebestpartsofmovies.com, or on FB, Twitter, Yelp etc. etc.

Big Synth drop right here. I was lucky enough to interview James Murphy (the main guy from LCD) a couple weeks back for ExploreMusic and I asked him about this part of the song. He said he’s a big gear guy, and that he sidechained about 6 synths to get this the way he wanted it. I remember watching a video of Kanye talking to Timbaland about whether the kick drum on Stronger had enough oomph…there are parts of songs that a producer knows have to hit hard, and I think some producers spend days if not weeks tweaking the compressors, filters and effects settings once they’ve already got the notes played.
You’ll be thankful when you hear this, I am. Check it out.
