As of last weekend, LCD Soundsystem is no more. On April 2nd 2011, the fantastic New York-based band fronted by James Murphy performed for the very last time in front of a packed Madison Square Garden. Their farewell show’s 23rd and very last song of a 3-hour set started off with keyboardist Nancy Whang playing Angelo Badalamenti’s Twin Peaks theme (“Falling”), which then seamlessly blended into “New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down.” Talking about going out on a high note!

Here’s the video of the magical moment:

When I found out one of my favourite bands played the theme to one of my favourite shows I can’t describe the joy and astonishment I felt.

I’ve seen the LCD video 20 times and didn’t notice the Twin Peaks reference. I started re-watching Twin Peaks a week ago. I watched the LCD video again last night and said, hey, isn’t that the theme to Twin Peaks? I found this article googling to confirm.
