Those ad campaigns keep coming - but have LCD Soundsystem been ripped off by TGI Fridays?
LCD Soundsystem are no more. The seminal dance-punk group called it a day last year, bidding farewell to their career with an emotional final stand at Madison Square Garden.
Now the band's profile has been given an unexpected boost - by TGI Fridays. The restaurant chain have launched their latest North American ad campaign, which contains a song which is not too dis-similar to James Murphy's output.
Compare and contrast below (via Pitchfork).

The issue of 'soundalike' tracks in ad campaigns seems to be prescient right now. Beach House recently suffered from a carbon copy, while Sigur Ros posted a fascinating blog about the subject last year.
