This already amazing interview with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem is made inexplicably more awesome by the following bracketed description: "[mimes being on the Internet]." Total winner.
That interview was awesome.
-slackjawed stare alternating with excited openmouthed smiles / wags index finger / cranes neck forward and back-
I was also big on Sisters of Mercy, once.
Yeah so I always found their music a little innocuous? (heh) Like, perfectly danceable but nothing special? But then I saw them live and holy fuck I wanna quit my day job and follow them for the rest of their remaining shows.
Also as a former member of a band that played exclusively in 5/4 (thank you King Crimson and prog rock), what the heck is a 5/7 time signature?!
Yeah, I was wondering that too. What's a seventh note?
I think it must've been a joke. Though I'm sure there are some eastern-influenced modern composers who will proudly play you something in 5/7.
Now I feel sad for not buying Pitchfork tix, but…the bathrooms…
I've been to Pitchfork several times (going this year as well), and I always thought their bathrooms weren't too bad for a festival, certainly better than some of the outdoor concerts here in NYC. Maybe this is one of those times where it's convenient to have low standards?
I don't think that having 8 bathrooms is enough. I also don't understand people's inability to shit in the hole. An hour is too long to wait to piss in a shit-covered box. Anyway, do you have any extra tickets?
Now that LCD is wrapping up, he can come over to my house and tell me in person that it's okay to be an old, that people are doing things later, that it's taken me this long to get out from under the pile of marketing that got dumped on me, etc., etc. Every day he can tell me this.
When James Murphy said Daft Punk was playing at his house, I always thought he peant he was buddies with Thomas and Guy-Man and he'd set up a living-room gig for them. Damn you English and your confusing usage viz. collective names.
It's a good interview, but I really wanted it to end with him saying, "Oh, I'm joking about the 'last album' thing. I'll be making these until I die."
Sigh.
Doesn't it always feel like everybody in the world has a copy of Synchronicity? If you know somebody and they have a turn table and you ask to see their records, there will inevitably be a battered old copy of Synchronicity. And Frampton Comes Alive.
Oh and this interview was enjoyable.
"Waaw. Wawawawaw".

Great interview, I must be about the same age. Love his remix of Gorillaz 'Dare'. The cowbeller really worked the room.
