You Wanted a Hit

LCD Soundsystem

Love this anthem. It helps me celebrate this artist life I’m trying to live each day. A reminder to excavate creative work with my own voice.

“Make it as personal as you can, because you are a miracle…if you're going to make art? Let it be very personal to you.” — Francis Ford Coppola

I imagine painting a canvas, when a committee wrestles the brushes and paints from me— changing colors, textures, and the image itself. This sometimes happens to filmmakers.

I love how LCD Soundsystem followed their hearts and transcended the music biz with some brilliant, unpredictable and personal records. Not to mention this 9 minute single that’s both a promise and a veiled threat. Because they’re art makers first.
