James Murphy on taste and art

In honor of LCD Soundsystem’s final show, m ss ng p eces has posted an edited version of an interview they shot with James Murphy in 2006 – around the time that online music sales and taste engines (“if you like x, then check out y”) supplanted the music store experience.

To assist in the pangs of LCD withdrawal we watched an interview we shot with James Murphy back in the summer of 2006. It was a 30 minute interview which we’ve cut into 9 minutes for your viewing pleasure. Murphy shares his thoughts on musical discovery, the future of taste, artistic value in the face of technology and what he did with our plot device, something.
