Shut Up And Play The Hits

[Allan Balliett]

Jesus, my take away from reading this was that Johnny Marr was in LCD
Soundsystem!

I'm doomed to a future of increasing confusion as my days spent on earth, a
condition  which I don't think listening to  LCD Soundsystem can clear up.

Where does one see this Ledo of a movie?

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Morrissey.
