We're Custom Made and Lifelike

Kick Out the Chairs
Munk feat. James Murphy and Nancy Wang of the DFA - Kick Out the Chairs.

Listen. I don't have time to give a big ol' write up about this, but I think you'll understand. This track just speaks for itself. Not only does it have the dry-kit drumming that James Murphy is so famous for, but it's got this ridiculous punk rock bassline and a wondefully melodic chorus with female harmonies. This is what dreams are made of. Seriously. You couldn't ask for a better song than this. Stop reading this crap right now and dance your butt off. It's Thursday. The Sun is out. There's not a cloud in the sky. The rain is finally over and you've got work to do.

So slap this on your stereo and get to it.

You're going to have to put your time in to buy this album, but believe me, it's worth it to have this in your crates. You can start with their label, Gomma Records in Germany. From there you'll be able to find a suitable online retailer. While you're at the Gomma site, be sure to check out the huge collection of dj mixes -- there's some great downloads on there. Of course, don't forget to swing by and say hi to James and Nancy over at DFA, since their vocals definitely make the song.

I love this song, too. I played it during the epic Coolfer/Stereogum DJ session at the recent Gothamist show at the Knit.

when i saw lcd soundsystem live a few months ago, i sorta wished that they would do this song live, but sadly they didn't

great track. pretty much everything i've heard from Munk (and Gomma in its entireity) is worth a listen- the Gommagang Zwei compilation from a couple of years back is a great album- munk, princess superstar, mocky, headman, kamerakino all feature..
