I finally checked this one off the old bucket list. I think I have every artist mentioned in the LCD Soundsystem track “Losing My Edge” with the exception of This Heat, The Trojans, Royal Trux & Index. The player below is worthy of signing up for Spotify, and I started it all off with “Losing My Edge” to refresh your memory of all 55 artists.
There are still tickets to the late showing at The Belcourt, and you can check out that trailer again here. After the Belcoourt, when you are fully ready to cancel any plans you had for Thursday morning, you should head over to Mercy Lounge for their FREE afterparty with DJ sets by Cherub, Jensen Sportag, and Coach. Don’t miss this one night only nationwide party!
