LCD Soundsystem cover Franz Ferdinand for Record Store Day 'Live Alone' (Domino, 2011)

LCD Soundsystem join Debbie Harry, Peaches and Magnetic Fields' Stephen Merritt in an EP of Franz Ferdinand covers for Record Store Day.

LCD's version of 'Live Alone' is a louche, laid-back but funky take with James Murphy doing his best Alex Kapranos impression. It's a bit Roxy Music, a bit Bauhaus, maybe a bit Tom Tom Club. It sounds like something from the lost soundtrack reel to Pretty In Pink. In a good way.
