You know James Murphy, right? Focal point of LCD Soundsystem. DFA label boss. Rare groove ‘n’ disco-edit disciple. Crate digger. Sculptor of chilly, stark post-dance punk. The David Byrne for the DJ generation. Svengali to a roster of globe-spanning leftfield dancefloor mechanics.
There he is.
You may or may not have heard that he turned down being a scriptwriter for Seinfeld as the show was launching. Yup, apparently he almost went down that route. Funny guy, I’m told. Pithy Facebook status updates, I bet.
Has anyone else noticed though, that just after Daniel Bedingfield disappeared off the radar, after some ‘quad-bike accident’ a few years back (the most dangerous popstar sport) that LCD rocketed into the limelight far bigger than ever before with the Sound Of Silver album/tour…
‘Daniel’
‘James’
Y’know. Just sayin… I mean, I’ve never seen them in the same place.
Make of that what you will.
Next thing you know he’ll be signing all-American drivetime pop-rawk to his label.
Oh wait.
Here’s a track off Free Energy’s new record on DFA. It’s called ‘Free Energy’ (click on the track name to download).
