Song of the Week- 2/16/08

I've decided to do this song of the week thing from now on. Every Saturday I'll put up one song a week and I'll kinda say why that particular song has been an immovable object on my playlist for that particular week.

This week, we have "Someone Great" by LCD Soundsystem.

LCD Soundsystem is producer/DJ/musician James Murphy's one-man-band. His music is dance music with hints of disco and punk. The greatness with LCD Soundsystem's music is, however, in its lyrics. "Someone Great" is a perfect example of this. The song is about the loss of love and seems to imply any type of 'love' we know, be it romantic, one for a child, etc. Throw in the precise production and catchy backbeat and melody and you have a great song.


There's your song of the week.
