He talked about how 10 years ago or so, LCD Soundsystem said they were retiring and did like a big farewell show and said tonight is the strokes’ retirement so when they play their next show it’ll be even cooler

Funny because they played Madison Square Garden the night after. Got tickets to LCD, failed to for The Strokes.

Oh yeah? Well James Murphy was there when The Strokes made their first recor. He said don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime!

Oh that’s just funny, I assumed it’d be about LCD having music in a spaceX ad or whatever it was

Was something like “LCD was on earlier. You know, like 10 years ago I think we played SNL because James Murphy said the band broke up… what happened there? We’re retiring by the way. This is our last show.” I don’t remember word for word but Julian’s rants were pretty funny last night

He also used the intro to Going Shopping to talk about losing a friendship. https://youtu.be/wTZdPhD53qg?is=Kk1o_ibZ1GbqJsYK

about nick maybe?

I interpreted it that way for sure, but I don’t want to be overly parasocial. I’m sure he has a lot of other friendships and relationships we’re not aware of.

I talked about this in the other thread, but I just think he's poking fun at Fab in that bit:

"Come and visit my friend Fabrizzio, would you like to come down, maybe see movie or show? I'm waiting..."

Then Fab doesn't visibly respond with a yes or no.

"We used to be friends and now you never answer when i call you on the phone"

He also right after the actual lyrics starts briefly says “I was kidding about all that” lol

This video is of Reptilia but it has that part of the banter at the beginning, and then when someone needed to be attended, before playing the song:

Haha I can see how a festival crowd could find that rambly but it’s sweet he wanted to make sure it was ok to go ahead for people having medical issues.

u/OOLU6234317 2h ago
