James Murphy & Pat Mahoney (LCD Soundsystem) DJing House of Vans For FREE

New York LCD (Still) Loves You

Longtime readers of Fucking Nostalgic know that we all collectively have a Big Thing for anything LCD Soundsystem-related. We've been skipping pebbles wistfully across ponds ever since they called it quits in April, but always get very excited whenever former band members pop up for DJ gigs around the city. We're also pretty big on House of Vans, which over the summer served as a great venue to see bands like OFF! and Superchunk on the same night.

Which is why it is HUGE news that former LCD masterminds James Murphy and Pat Mahoney have once again let their powers combine as Special Disco Version for a FREE show on November 1 at House of Vans. DFA labelmate (and LCD frontlady Nancy Whang's other band) The Juan Maclean will be on hand to DJ as well, already making this a night designed to make my head explode even before you throw the free beer into the equation.

RSVP for that now over here, and infinite thanks to our friend and FN reader Mariel for the tip. And now I'm gonna throw that LEGO version of LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends" music video up after the jump so we can all get wistful.

Watch/Stream: Thom Yorke's DJ Set At The Boiler Room

One of these days, I'll actually be in the same room as Radiohead's Thom Yorke as he busts out a kickass DJ set. But for now, watching him spin at Tuesday afternoon/night's TKOL RMX 1234567 party at London's Boiler Room via the Internet will have to do, and as expected it turned out quite awesome.

The Boiler Room has posted an official video and download of his whole set, both of which you can check out below due to the magic of embed codes. As he demonstrated onstage with Flying Lotus at LA's Low End Theory earlier this year, it will never get any less cool / hilarious to see Thom dropping and dancing around to Madvillain's "America's Most Blunted."

Thom, Ed, and Phil are all slated for more British radio appearances this week (Sunday, tonight, and... last night respectively), including another new mix from Thom. Check out Dead Air Space for more info.

Nancy Whang (LCD Soundsystem) DJing Brooklyn Bowl On 8/20

Not gonna lie - the Fucking Nostalgic team is still pretty wistful about the end of our favorite NYC dance-punk / electronic band LCD Soundsystem. We all had a blast rocking out on the floor at their final show at Madison Square Garden, and the recent release of an unofficial LEGO-based tribute to the band's "All My Friends" music video definitely tugged at our heartstrings a little more.

But even with the end of LCD, James Murphy has been keeping very busy DJing around the world, kindasortamaybe collaborating with Reggie Watts, and getting ready to cook at fancy food festivals. Not a bad "retirement," I'd say. However, if you're looking for a more immediate, local, and FREE fix of our dance scene heroes, LCD Soundsystem keyboardist and chanteuse Nancy Whang will be over at Brooklyn Bowl next Saturday (August 20) to throw down on the decks with her own DJ set, along with a live performance by Workout.

Brooklyn Bowl is one of my favorite venues in the city and admission for this party is free if you RSVP at GBH.tv, so definitely make it happen. Interestingly enough, this is a couple of blocks away from where another excellent nostalgic dance-punk band, The Rapture - who just returned to Murphy's DFA Records - will be throwing down the dance party of the summer at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Gonna go ahead and assume that's not a coincidence, so be sure to make it out to Brooklyn for a classic DFA-fueled summer night.

[UPDATE: She's also DJing tomorrow night (8/12) at Union Pool. Thanks to My Free Concert for the heads up.]

And because why the hell not, check out multiple Nancies in the video for Shit Robot's "Take 'Em Up" below the jump.

Fucking Nostalgic presents...

We are very excited to announce the first event presented by Fucking Nostalgic, "A Fucking Nostalgic Saturday Night Out," which will be held at the extremely awesome Motor City Bar in the Lower East Side of Manhattan on Saturday, July 2nd! The party goes from 10pm-4am, is totally free to get into, and we will have plenty of giveaways for you to take home with you, so make sure you come say hi and grab some freebies.

On the decks, spinning high voltage rock & roll, will be myself (DJ CGerzzz), FN contributor DJ Dana Distortion (who organized the event), and DJ Boozy Jo. Motor City is located at 127 Ludlow Street (between Rivington & Delancey), and is easy to get to via the F train to Delancey St. If you haven’t been there before, it is the epitome of LES rock & roll dive bars, and 100% fitting for Fucking Nostalgic. Can’t wait to see you there!
