It’s hard for me to think of a more perfect meal than the simple roast chicken with french fries I had at Le Repaire de Cartouche in Paris, a restaurant run by the legendary Rodolphe Paquin. Rodolphe has one of the coolest cellars in Paris, so his food is intentionally unfussy, to allow the wine to shine through. I’ll never forget eating his chicken and dipping fries in this silky, umami-rich mushroom sauce while drinking a bottle of Philippe Jambon’s La Grande Bruyère, a Chardonnay made from grapes grown in Mâcon. A classic French thing to do (and something I highly recommend) is to spend Sunday with your friends drinking good wine and then eating a roast chicken with french fries for a late lunch.

Delving into the atmosphere of 90s sitcoms, LCD Soundsystem will be portrayed by Eric Warheim, Macaulay Culkin, Christine Ko, Jon Daly, Luenell, and more for a new holiday special, All My Friends. The feature arrived on Prime Video and Amazon Music’s Twitch channel on December 22, seeing the actors portraying members of the legendary electronic band ahead of a concert special performed by LCD Soundsystem themselves.

A little over a week ago, LCD Soundsystem announced they’d be the subject of a new holiday special. Not just that, but it was to be released on December 22. The project is shepherded by Eric Wareheim, who is playing LCD frontman James Murphy and directing. The cast features a murderer’s row of who’s who, with Macaulay Culkin, Christine Ko, and Aparna Nancherla as the band. As for the special itself (titled All My Friends after the LCD song), it’s a ’90s-styled sitcom, which, if you grew up in the era of TGIF, teeters between the fun and the corny. According to Wareheim, that was the intent.

“I’ve already conquered film, [LCD Soundsystem founding member] James [Murphy] has conquered music, but we have yet to conquer the sitcom — the HIGHEST form of art,” Wareheim said in a statement. “We’ve been working on this project for 15 years, and for this show we’re unveiling a uniquely emotional perspective of the sitcom universe for the holidays — provided by one of the greatest bands of all time and my dear friends, LCD Soundsystem. I can’t believe Amazon Music is letting us do this.”

The "All My Friends" sitcom spoof -- also starring Tony Cavalero, Rex Lee and Aparna Nancherla -- will be part of LCD Soundsystem’s Amazon Music The LCD Soundsystem Holiday Special, premiering Dec. 22.

As soon as LCD Soundsystem’s 20-night residency at Brooklyn Steel comes to a conclusion later this month, the band will be putting out their first ever holiday special. Dubbed The LCD Soundsystem Holiday Special, it’s centered around a ’90s-style sitcom about the band directed by comedian Eric Wareheim, followed by a live performance from the band.

LCD Soundsystem have announced The LCD Soundsystem Holiday Special, which airs on Amazon Music’s Twitch channel and Prime Video starting December 22 at 9 p.m. Eastern. The special opens with All My Friends, a 1990s-style sitcom starring comedians and actors as members of the band. Eric Wareheim directed the special and stars in the role of James Murphy. He’s joined by Macaulay Culkin, Aparna Nancherla, Jon Daly, Christine Ko, a puppet, and others. Watch the trailer below.

Comedian Eric Wareheim reimagines LCD Soundsystem as the centerpiece of a classic sitcom in the trailer for the band’s upcoming holiday special, set to stream Dec. 22 at 9 p.m. ET on Prime Video and Amazon Music’s Twitch channel. The LCD Soundsystem Holiday Special will boast a special, career-spanning performance from the actual band, including the first live rendition of their 2015 single, “Christmas Will Break Your Heart.” But the show will be preceded by a Nineties-style sitcom episode, aptly dubbed All My Friends (after LCD Soundsystem’s classic song of the same name). Wareheim wrote and directed All My Friends, and he’ll...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, right? You know what that also means? Holiday specials! LCD Soundsystem is getting on the act, featuring in an upcoming special titled The LCD Soundsystem Holiday Special. Before that, however, will air a ’90s-inspired sitcom episode, called All My Friends (after the 2007 LCD song). That pre-show special will feature Macaulay Culkin, Christine Ko, and Aparna Nancherla as the band, with Eric Wareheim directing.

LCD Soundsystem is currently in the midst of a long run of shows at Brooklyn Steel, which ends on December 21. But if you haven’t been able to snag tickets, then not all hope is lost for you to see the band in some capacity this year. On December 22, the group is airing The LCD Soundsystem Holiday Special via Amazon.
