[kj] OT: LCD SoundSytem

[Jiri]

I saw LCD Soundsystem with Arcade Fire last fall and was surprisingly 
thrilled by their live set -- and consequently exhausted by the end of 
the night (I wasn't expecting two inspiring live music sets). Special 
treat was having the drummer positioned toward the stage front and 
sideways, so we had a great view to appreciate his manic playing along 
to the electronica-ish tempo.
