Is it possible that a brand-new YouTube clip of Brooklynite Andrew Carter re-interpreting an LCD Soundsystem song using nothing but a cello and some effects pedals is the greatest “Someone Great” yet? Okay, maybe better than the original is a stretch. But I say this dreamy chamber-music cover of LCD Soundsystem’s Nike-approved electro tune is pretty cool. Watch after the jump (clip via Buzzfeed) and decide for yourself.

I don’t know, sounds kind of messy. P.S. LCD Soundsystem rules!!
LCD Soundsystem rules, indeed. I almost hate seeing their name mentioned on this website. Who broke from the corporate ‘MUST PROMOTE BRITNEY SPEARS’ dictum to get this in the door? Someone’s gonna be expecting some ANSWERS!!!
It’s Great. I’m sure shistey labtop or pc speakers aren’t the best way to hear it, but I’m impressed for sure.
It’s funny to me that Music Mix follows an LCD Soundsystem post with that god-awful Adam Lambert song. Since Idol ended, I’ve always thought James Murphy should produce Lambert’s album. But instead, they saddled him with crap commercial producers.
Anyways, when does LCD’s next album come out?
james murphy writes amazing tracks. i hope the next record matches sounds of silver.
