Pitchfork

Prepare, North American scum: LCD Soundsystem is coming our way. James Murphy and his disco machine have announced a post-Coachella trek across the continent (with a couple of hometown NYC warm-up shows beforehand). Peppered in between full-band gigs will be DJ sets by Murphy and bandmate Pat Mahoney in various cities. (All of the venues for those DJ sets are yet to be announced, however.)

"North American Scum", the first video from LCD Soundsystem's new album Sound of Silver is on display over in Forkcast right now.

And Murphy's quest to send the album to number one on the Billboard 200? Well, the number one album this week (Norah Jones' Not Too Late) sold 400,000 copies according to Billboard.com. Better get to work winning over soccer moms, James.
