Last week, in the Ft. Myers airport getting ready to fly back to Detroit, I saw "The Decade's Best Songs and Albums" enticing me on the cover of Rolling Stone. Now I'm not an avid reader of the magazine, but I'm mildly obsessed with people's opinions on music so I decided to pick up a copy for the flight home. As I flipped through the magazine I spotted LCD Soundsystem's "Sound of Silver" mentioned as one of the best albums of the decade, and it gave me a renewed interest in the perennial-favorite DFA headliners. I've always been into their music, but I'm only now realizing that literally every track James Murphy and crew touch is brilliant. Also fueling my LCD obsession is the new single "Up and Down (Beep!)" by Special Disco Version, a duo consisting of Murphy and LCD collaborator Pat Mahoney. It's a catchy track with that classic, irresistible DFA feel, drawing heavily from classic disco sounds but it also has that indie-dance bump to keep your booty shakin'.

And just for fun, a couple classics:
