Last night I saw Shut Up and Play the Hits, a rockumentary about LCS Soundsystem's final show at MSG in 2011. Definite must-see for fans, and the interview of James Murphy by Chuck Klosterman is excellent and elevates the movie to a universal reflection on self-consciousness and aging.
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Leonard Cohen - I’m Your Man ...
That was near the top of my lists the whole way. I listened to it several times during the draft. Nice to see it picked.
CJ is filling out my list nicely ... first Throwing Muses, now Leonard Cohen (not to mention FB's New York pick)

I put the odds at 35% that one of the two albums El Diablo was thinking about taking but has no you tube I own at last one song. Just a feeling.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

Okay...I was typing that BEFORE I knew El Diablo made his pick.
I own a few Rocket from the Crypt songs, and i was just starting to realize how much I like those songs. This draft interrupted a push I was going to make to learn more about their music. And I missed having a song off that album by one album. Damn!!
Another Devil pick I like.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

Originally posted by eldiablo505Technically, maybe, All Systems Go can be called a compilation album, for the record. About half the songs on the album are from their 7" releases and the other are "new". It's easily my favorite RFTC album, though, and some of the compiled stuff is legitimately impossible to find on the original 7" releases.
I'd put the odds of me changing my pick at about 35%.
I did find a song from the album though!!!!
Indeed, the band was productive enough on that front to be able to release a fantastic compilation of its various 7" and comp appearances after only two studio albums.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Here is a live version of Boychucker at Denver's Riot Fest. I was at this show. The show was out in a farm in Byers, CO and Speedo kept making jokes about how excited he was to play in Byers, which should help explain what he's talking about before the song.
