UK Number 40s: LCD Soundsystem - North American Scum (2007)

 


I was still listening to some new music around this period but I had no idea whether any of it was commercially successful or not. Most of it wasn't, but one that was perhaps more popular than I realised was LCD Soundsystem.

When they decided to call it a day in 2011 they were big enough to play their final gig at Madison Square Garden. From a Top 40 perspective though they just had a number 29 and a number 40 to their name.

Their debut was "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" which was from their self titled debut album. This one came from their second album "Sound Of Silver". The performance of this record at their farewell gig had Arcade Fire on stage doing backing vocals.

Despite this being just one of two Top 40 hits though, when I went to see them on their comeback tour they never played this. It was a shame really because it sounds much better live than the studio version.
