James Murphy has made it his craft to understand the exact rock’n'roll affects to avoid, which ones to indulge and which one’s to smartly avoid by acknowledge whilst indulging. Which is why the trailer for LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up And Play The Hits might manage to give you chills, even if you know that your emotions are being wisely manipulated.

Ranking the top artists of the past 365 days is a tricky proposition. What seemed like a simple enough question when we asked you to rate 100 top artists becomes a labyrinth of questions regarding the state of music in 2011. Is dance music really taking over the American landscape, or does hip-hop still rule the minds of music fans? Is it fair to nominate an act that didn’t release a proper record this year, when the internet has made the act of releasing albums virtually obsolete?

Tracklist after the jump.
Let’s look the history of the Hood Internet:
Rick Ross vs CSS / Tag Team vs LCD Soundsystem / Ghostface Killah vs Beirut /M.I.A. vs Vampire Weekend / The Cool Kids vs The Dodos / and more recently /Wallpaper vs Genesis / Tune-yards vs Rihanna / Little Dragon vs Kelly Rowand
It boggles the mind of what these two mad geniuses can create. I didn’t even know these two songs can mash up but they do and it’s amazing: it’s dance-crazy, it’s rock-crazy, it’s wickedly crazy. That is why I call them the “Kings of Mash-Ups;” and hey, I might even go as far and say that they are the Kings of DJs (I might… but I won’t).
