James Murphy was the big man behind the recently discontinued
LCD Soundsystem. In case you've never heard of him, he's like the David Byrne for the post-whatever generation. It's a pleasure to hear him talk about music. This interview (2006) by
m ss ng p eces is totally up to the minute.
What Murphy says about the
robotification of musical taste makes a lot of sense. What he says about atonal music and 'musique concrete' doesn't make sense at all ~ but that's ok. On his shirt you see the album cover of
Future Days by Can.
