| LCD Soundsystem – You Wanted a Hit Lyrics

To me this song is a statement about authenticity. Lots of music comes out as an expression of a spontaneous , creative drive but usually in the "real world" that has to be met with or compromised by money, consumer demand, demographics etc. This song is about saying fuck you to the "real world" by questioning the validity of it's demands (ie: "You wanted it real/but can you tell me what's real?"). |

| Sonic Youth – Disconnection Notice Lyrics

To me this song is about being told that you're no longer 'connected' to that which you are or do. specifically, since it explicitly mentions being a professional musician in the second verse, "hurry up, the stage awaits you don't forget to memorize your lines" i always figured it was something of a personal note from the band about how ill received NYC Ghosts and Flowers was, how maybe in one fell swoop years of acclaim suddenly "slipped away". I had never heard that bit about Kurt though, that's interesting. |
