Shit. I could only identify 34 out of 70 of these pixel-drawn record covers. Surely somebody can do better than my miserable score. Try it.

Note to self, download this shit:
singles review from Pitchfork
LCD Soundsystem: "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House (Soulwax remix)"
The original rides a monstrous T.N.T. riff while James Murphy brags about his French robot house party. All the furniture is in the garage. Robots descend from the bus. The neighbors can't call the police. And the best part: the jocks can't get in the door. Ya burnt, jocks! Can't come in!
Believe it or not, "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" is a really fucking silly song. Silly and great. So much so that, if someone told me Soulwax could make it (a) sillier, (b) greater, and (c) actually sort of Daft Punk-y, I would give myself the middle finger three times and sell my Suicide Girls blitz package on eBay.
First things first, here's a link to that blitz package.
And here's why Soulwax are genius: The guys can the cheeky metal riff and keep things small at first. They rock hard synths really deep in the mix, letting Murphy rant like before but hinting at bigger blowouts as squelched throbs increase in volume and bite. When the robots descend from the bus: robot noises. When the neighbors can't call the police: a hilarious police siren sounds and refuses to go away. When there's a freak-out brewing in my house: holy living fuck. Think the second third of "Yeah". Think "Da Funk" without Da Filter. Think "Disco Inferno" with tighter pants and less underwear and the best wedgie ever. Soulwax keeps things slamming, then takes a break, then heads back to Slam City, but not without this Parthian shot: Murphy's gawky cowbell solo gets shanked then tossed into a pool of reverb. Call me a jock, but I think that's hilarious. [Nick Sylvester; December 15th, 2004]
Some of you may remember Soulwax from their killer mash-ups personnas, 2 Many DJs and the club sensation X-Tina vs the Strokes, "A STROKE OF GENIUS"
