LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge

This one is quite a calamity as James Murphy professes why he will never be as cool as the new hipsters, but will always compete. The song Losing My Edge actually pushed the boundaries of what edge was at that point which compounds the irony of the title from someone who manufactures New York hipster cool at an alarming rate. The first time I heard this song it made me laugh. It reminded me of some people from my past who always had to try to outdo everyone else in the cool department as if there was a hidden camera running and someone was going to come running around the corner with some over-sized check shouting "Congratulations, you are our grand-prize winner for being the coolest person in the world". James Murphy realizes that such endeavors are pointless, and thank god so do I.
