Open up your heart.
ELEVEN/SOUND OF SILVER/LCD SOUNDSYSTEM
Get innocuous. Get stupid, jump up , go crazy! Dance to the underground. Dance like your life depended on it. Everybody. Dance. Now. Escape. Escape to the dancefloor and dance your life away. Do it. Do it now. Get lost in this moment, with this DJ, with this iPod, with this CD, with these sounds reverberating from this soundsystem, right here, right now, on this here dancefloor, with these people, at this club, in this living room, under this here blacklight in this backyard, on this seemingly never ending weekend night. Tonight, let the DJ, the iPod, the CD, the Soundsystem, save your life. Press play and listen carefully to the words you're shouting along to as you move them hips and you realize that these words, these thoughts, that desire to never give up on the good times, the right here, right now, that, yes THAT is the Sound of Silver, a nine track, nearly 60 minute existential reflection on growing up, getting older, and refusing to let the best days of your life be those from your past, no matter how good they may have been. Create a new scrapbook, get lost in the moment, and treat everyday like it is your last before all your friends are gone. Enjoy the slinky and slowly lit two and a half minute intros [Get Innocuous], Watch the Tapes when the time calls for it, get away on a kick drum two-step groove [Time To Get Away], and when you're back's against the wall, and it's you vs. them you have no choice but to show em what you got til the wheels fall off.[Us Vs. Them] Why? Because this shit is exciting. This here and now, and this is what we live for. These are the nights and the future sordid tales that make us, and often break us. And we love it, and we must relish in it, before it's all gone, before someone great is gone, before it catches up to us, and we're nothing more than North American Scum holding on to a lifestyle that no longer affords us. But don't think about that, cause right here, right now, you're on fire baby, and this party can't stop, won't stop rocking to the rhythm.
