It’s kind of a stretch to connect James Murphy’s most recent dismissal of an LCD Soundsystem reunion with the release of “Get Lucky“, which happened within a few days of each other, but it’s still worth noting. After all, it has now been seven years since Murphy waited “seven years and fifteen days” (another reference from a self-consciously referential band, this time to German trance outfit Groove Coverage’s “7 Years and 50 Days” from the year before) to play Daft Punk at his house party. Even if Murphy says, once and for all, that his band will not be returning to keep partying with the guests — “the band are just friends and we make things together and eat food together, and STILL ALL GO OUT AND DO THINGS, just not all together as LCD” — we’re still living in the house that LCD Soundsystem built.
