I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids.

Everybody thought I was crazy.

#gymmusic Repost *58 - Murphy does sustained tension, continuously but minutely increased tempo and shouty-chanty-chorus-release but than anyone else on earth. An all time indie house disco funk rock n roll classic.

An all time favourite. Can't get the real video to load to TIMJ in the UK so it'll have to be the fan upload. I think I've seen them live more than I've seen any other single band.
I still love LCD Soundsystem's sideswipe at musical hipsterism.

Have you seen my records!
James Murphy, "To me, Losing My Edge was the perfect narrative song that could have ever come from me. Everything had a layer behind it. Was it making fun of other people? Sure. Was it making fun of myself for making fun of other people? Sure. But it was also about me kind of believing the things I was saying, and it was also about being a little embarrassed for being the kind of person who would believe those kinds of things."
