Time To Get Away: LCD Soundsystem Bid Farewell Tonight

After a decade of Daft Punk references, white suits and Muppet videos, James Murphy announced the dissolution of LCD Soundsystem a little over a month ago. And now, with ticket scalping drama and four celebratory, three-hour-long shows at Terminal 5 past, their alleged final show ever as a band will take place tonight at MSG. But even if you didn't get tickets, you can watch anexclusive stream of the whole show at Pitchfork starting at 9 p.m. In the meantime, you can check outthe collective mourning process going on across the internet. Pitchfork has an excellent, definitive look back at the complete LCD Soundsystem oeuvre, which comes to a tidy 46 studio tracks, spread over three official albums, one instrumental album, and various singles. It's especiallyappropriate considering thatLCD Soundsystem were arguably the Pitchfork band of the decade; after all, they ranked Sound of Silver #17 in the 2000s albums of the decade list, and named This Is Happening the second best album of 2010.
