LCD Soundsystem - "Bye Bye Bayou"

We can all agree that LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver is one of the best albums of the past 10 years. Good, glad that's out of the way. After their amazing, self-titled debut and the aforementioned follow-up, James Murphy & Co. have released a new track on the website 22 Tracks. "Bye Bye Bayou" was originally released by Suicide's Alan Vega, and LCD Soundsystem reinterpret it as a disco anthem (hence, its placement under the Disco tab). Although this is essentially a cover, hopefully it means that LCD Soundsystem is on track to release an album next year. We've been waiting.

PS. 22 Tracks is pretty great, and I can't believe I hadn't heard of it. From their "About Us" section:
What is 22tracks.com?
A jukebox consisting of 22 tracks selected by specialized dj's from Amsterdam

Why this jukebox?
To provide a quick overview of the latest music.
To promote new artists and let you discover new genres.
To directly link to the artist's MySpace and iTunes page, where you can buy the track if you like it.
We do NOT support downloading music.

How long will these playlists last?
Every couple of days a couple of tracks per genre are refreshed.
