I know it's probably a bit trite by now, but the new LCD Soundsystem is turning out to be one of the best records I have heard in a very long time, and will likely be in the upper echelons of my picks for best of 2007. If you havn't heard more than the phenominal single North American Scum (or any of the numerous, free, promotional remixes from the site dedicated to the one track) then I would suggest that you get out there and purchase a copy of Sound of Silver, because you won't be sorry.
One of the best performances I had ever seen on a latenight show (the DFA 1979 Conan O'brien performance not withstanding) was LCDSS on the Late Show playing Daft Punk is Playing at my House. Well, the latest installment just looks like James Murphy changed clothes and came back to play the single he hasn't written yet. With an almost identicle stage setup (sans Murphy's brilliant cowbell solo), here is the performance of North American Scum on the Late Show from the other night.
And an MP3:

I've already gone through the stages of loving it and listeing to it every second, to hateing it, and back to loving it again.

It's just so good! And there's only, like, four bars of actual music!
