[edit] Music video
The music video for "North American Scum" was directed by Ben Dickinson. It features James Murphy initially in a photo shoot, then entering space via a door, planting a DFA Records flag on the moon and engaging LCD Soundsystem live drummer Pat Mahoney in a fight on the moon, and finally leaving space through another door where he meets himself in a room filled with leaves.
