candy - the wiki for electronica pretty much describes it as i believe it to be - music made by computers and synthesizers. no better or worse than anything else, but i wouldnt classify LCD that way.

Thats doubtful. If you like LCD you will probably like Hot Chip but they have a different vibe so maybe not. My friend who is into Hot Chip doesnt listen to LCD, so i dunno. regardless, not solely using a computer and/or turntable doesnt mean you dont make electronic music
what are some examples of Phish exploring some space in jams in the past two years? i cant get into anything theyve done recently
i suppose the disco biscuits dont play electronic music either because they are a band consisting of a guitar player, a bassist, a drummer, and a keyboard player.

7 below / ghost jam - in the second set of albany 2, 2009.

In fact considering it is all live and no synthesizers, it might be fair to say it is possible they are not electronica at all...
Although most of it is live, they do use synths. LCD is Dance-punk which is a category of electronia. Here are what the other band members play live:
* Nancy Whang – vocals, keyboards, synths * Pat Mahoney – drums, percussion, drum machine, claps, synths, * Tyler Pope – bass, guitar, synths, claps, drum machine * David Scott Stone – guitar * Matt Thornley – percussion, snaps * Gavin Russom – synths, vocals * Al Doyle – guitar, percussion, synths, bass
There is a lot of synth in there, but that in no way takes from the talent behind the music. Fact is, there are some sounds that can not be produced without synth.

Honestly dude I like live Phish because it takes me to the place I want to be, and I have loved every song of it I have seen live since the reunion. I only listen to live Phish I have seen outside of that rarely, and then usually only shows I was at because it reminds me of how great they were. They are not a band that it does well to try and over rationalize, it is better to just surrender to the phlow.
Some of us are for Buffalo Springfield playing Roo, and think James Murphy couldn't hold Matthew Dear's jock.
Interested to see why you compare Murphy and Dear.
Because they are both djs who worship at the alter of Bowie and Eno, but one does it much better than the other, imo.
I think LCD Soundsystem is fun, but their albums have gotten progressively wankier and less interesting to me, whereas Matthew Dear has gotten more interesting as his work has progressed.
Don't get me wrong. Murphy always puts out those 3-4 great songs each time around. It's just the other stuff I find boring.

Because that's what Bonnaroo is looking for. A single act that will sell 80,000 tickets.
I don't think Bonnaroo has ever booked that band. Off the top of my head I can think of about 4 bands who could sell out 80k tickets *guaranteed* on their own.

not trying to bash live Phish (exactly) but to label them a jamband these days is a misnomer. thats great they you love to see them live and hearing them play their songs, but thats exactly what theyre doing. ive had a great time at the three Phish shows ive seen but i really didnt get "it" that everyone promised would be there in a Phish show, and i dont see a point in listening to a 09 show when i can put on something from 97. not even sure why Phish was brought up when talking about LCD, but im sick of hearing them referred to as a jam band when they havent even gone near territory explored in the earlier days never mind trying to push beyond it. its just frustrating.
but to say LCD Soundsystem doesnt make electronic music, you are just nuts.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

I need to listen to Dear more, I listened to his new one a couple times and liked it but never went back to it for some reason.
What I like most about Murphy though is he always has a way of sneaking in a funny line around a serious one, and he's self-aware to the point where he doesn't go overboard. He also builds the song around drums which I love.

Also I was going to argue the Eno thing because I always imagined him copping Byrne, then I remembered Eno handled all the production on those great TH records.

My deal with LCD Soundsystem is that their first album was genuinely great and interesting and the band could have gone in a lot of different directions and Murphy took them the most obvious route. Which is a fun route, but pretty limited one, imo.
I guess I feel like what Dear is doing is incorporating recent electronic music with his base influences whereas Murphy just rips off his idols and packages it in the most catchy way possible.
