Guns N’ Roses made a very big impressions on Friday night at Reading Festival. Guns N’ Roses were booed and jeered — only to have have the plug pulled on them at the end of their crushingly disappointing set.

We have received a lot of emails saying that Axl Rose just look out of condition and was struggling to even sing! 80,000 disgruntled festivalgoers didnt hang around as the major headed over to the NME/Radio 1 Stage, where LCD Soundsystem were giving a lesson in how to headline a festival.

Having spent the last year and a half working on the soundtrack to Noah Baumbach’s new film Greenberg, and his own forthcoming album ‘This Is Happening’, he’s got a rather full looking touring schedule up on his website, including a lot of European festival dates (his UK shows are mostly sold out).

Let us fuel our excitement about these upcoming events by watching the newly released video for the first single, which is titled Drunk Girls. The album will be released on the 17th of May, and there are more odd videos up on the LCD Soundsystem website.

basically, we’re back. and going on tour in a few months.  so we’re packing up our lives and getting progressively better at packing light and working with airmiles, etc.  and i guess gathering gear and practice and all the other crap that comes with putting on this broadway musical called “lcd soundsystem” (jazz haaands!).

otherwise it’s the same.  i (james) miss playing live a bit, which means it was a GOOD idea to take an extra year between these records.  now i can finally get rid of that pesky life i was living and actually live from april on in either a bus, plane, stage or hotel room.  sometimes i can go out to eat, too.
…
um, so…  we’re going on tour.

Great news, as far as we’re concerned – dates below, more details on venues here.

Mr. M is looking very comfortable with a few post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas pounds added on. Obviously a man more after my own heart than I thought. Fear not though, January’s resolutions are bound to hold!
