CRESCENDO? YES, PLEASE.

I get giddy when I hear this song. I use the extended 8-minute version for the tail-end of my runs. I become totally absorbed in the music and spurned on by the repetition. I love every minute of it.

Unfortunately, the video is nothing to write home about. James Murphy doesn't have the prettiest face, and I'm not sure why it takes almost two minutes for the rest of the band to emerge. The banality of the video almost mocks the intensity of the song.

Nevertheless, LCD Soundsystem is fantastic live. I actually heard them perform last summer with Arcade Fire. I have to say, it was the most electrifying concert I have ever been to. I couldn't stop moving the entire night. Well, I've got to keep moving on with my day, so enjoy the tunes and keep coming back for more!
