Music for Perfect People

Well over a year ago, Franz Ferdinand released a Covers EP for Record Store Day that just so happened to feature an LCD Soundsystem cover of the single “Live Alone.” As a little holiday treat, check out the video for the James Murphy & Co. cover.

As April 16 approaches, and your wallet readies itself for another Record Store Day, it is probably safe to assume that you have a list of items you want to purchase, and a list of places to find them. Well, make room on your list of “wants” as Franz Ferdinand will be releasing an EP titled Covers, which will feature other bands’ reworking of certain tracks off their 2009 release Tonight. The EP will feature LCD Soundsystem, Blondie‘s Deborah Harry, Peaches, and The Magnetic Fields’ Stephin Merritt.

You might have though LCD Soundsystem was done for good, but may be they had this trick up their sleeve all along. Regardless, check out LCD’s cover of “Live Alone” below ..
