James Murphy, "Shut Up and Brew The Coffee"

Oh talk about loosing your edge.  Looky here Mr LCD Soundsystem is now java-man.  "I make a lot of coffee," the musician told NY Magazine after the Sundance premiere of his concert  documentary, "Shut Up and Play the Hits." "For my birthday, my  girllfriend got me a training course with the world champion.That's what I'm going to do when I get back to London."  

With his skills sharpened up, he plans to meet with a New York roaster to "start tweaking beans and temperatures"  for a commercial espresso blend. "I thought it would be fun," he said. "I have beans that I like."

This is a hot mess. This is exactly what happens after 'farwell concerts'.  Coffee?  So this hipster is not a roaster and the music world mourns the loss of a damn cool band. Why?
