James Murphy said the following via facebook:

here’s the deal. we are probably coming to your town or near your town next year. NO LIVE DATES are announced, but clearly they will be. if you don’t see philadelphia right now, that doesn’t mean we’re not playing philly. i mean, i’m still working on the record!

Hoochie mama. Such direct words from the Murph make me want to throw on Sound of Silver, turn the lights off, and have a pitch black dance party. He basically said he’s coming to Guilford!!! (Don’t know where that is? Neither does anyone else not from Guilford, CT.) More likely, he’ll come to Boston and New York and we’ll make the trek.

In almost related news, Kid Cudi appeared on Conan last night, performing “Pursuit of Happiness.” He sampled LCD Soundsystem in “Can I Be.” Check it out.

The four of us here at f/k are always talking to one another about music, as you can imagine, and one of our more heated debates as of late has been over the best album of the MM’s so far. Albums like Kid A, Person Pitch, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Funeral have been thrown around, but I feel that we sometimes forget the golden gem given to us by James Murphy in MMVII, Sound of Silver.

More commonly known as LCD Soundsystem, Murphy has been working on this side project of his since MMII. After refining his skills for a few years Murphy hit the world with Sound of Silver, and now, to his amazement, he finds himself in the mix for the coveted award of f/k’s best album of the MM’s. Congratulations James.
