Hockey Night Dudes + James Murphy Make a Band!

This is some of the best news I’ve ever heard: one of my longtie favorite under the radar bands has been Hockey Night, I fell in love with them after hearing their song For Guys Eyes Only several years ago, which has been a staple on all of my summer playlists since that moment. Well, sadly Hockey Night is not band any longer, but they have formed a “classic rock” band with LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy! This combination of greatness is surely to yeild nothing but excellence.

The album is due out early ’09, but the project is as yet untitled.

LCD Soundsystem + MGMT = All My Children

Here’s another great remix from Immuzikation for your sunny afternoon. It’s pretty wonderful, too. LCD Soundystem is sort of a saving grace in their genre to me: in a world of leather wearing, french cigarette smoking, mustachioed hipsters, James Murphy’s chubby sloppiness is the most wonderful thing imaginable, and the pairing with the MGMT track here is pretty perfect.
