LCD Soundsystem was around since 2001, so since they pulled the plug last year lets say they had a healthy 10 year run. Not too shabby, enough to bankroll some cash. Not super duper famous but famous enough to consider it a success.
James Murphy is the master of ceremonies of all hip puppets. I have to stop and note that 'hip puppets' was a typo, I was to write 'his puppets' talk about your Freudian slips. His fans wont go away, they wont even acknowledge the band is gone and really there is no reason too. The film 'Shut Up and Play The Hits" is on the horizon and the DVD, cd, swag tour will follow. Murphy has ventured into the coffee business and now..well hell, lets throw writing in to the mix.
Murphy is 42, that's pretty old. Older than I expected him to be, so well perhaps he does have something to write about.
'That's what I went to school for, so it's where I come from academically,' he said in an interview with GQ Magazine. 'I'm writing now, actually. A novel. I'm always making things, but whether they turn into something that I'll consider making a part of the public world is different. I mean, I write songs every day, but only once in a while do they go out into the public sphere.
'I'm also dubious because as a person who's known for something else, something that I wrote might get published before it was ready. Maybe I'll have to send things in under a pseudonym, just so that they're considered fairly. Editing is no joke.'
If memories of LCD aren't enough to keep you satisfied, James Murphy does the occasional DJ set. Yeah, he's never goin' away.
