quote:LCD Soundsystem Beg Fans Not To Leak New Album, But Too Late
Two nights ago, LCD Soundsystem played a secret show in New York. On stage, frontman James Murphy said that fans could copy their new album, but pleaded with anyone in the audience who may have an advance copy not to leak it before the release date. Unfortunately the plea either fell on deaf ears, or was just made in the wrong place to the wrong people.
Albums, movies, TV shows, software, games and just about anything that can be digitized have been leaking out onto the Internet for a long time now.
Over the last 10 years there has been a growing tendency for those affected to acknowledge that leaks happen (rather than pretend that they don’t) and increasingly news of leaks have made big headlines
However, as with all ‘new’ phenomena, leaks have become so common that it’s pretty much taken as fact that everything will leak in some way or another – it’s just a question of when.
While bands like BuckCherry were more than happy to leak their own music in order to gain some publicity, others aren’t so keen for their material to end up on the Internet, particularly at a time of someone else’s choosing.
It seems that LCD Soundsystem is one such band. According to NME, two nights ago the band played a secret gig at New York’s Webster Hall, which was part of a drive to mark the band’s return to the live circuit.
After playing tracks from earlier albums, the band played some songs from their new album “This Is Happening” which is due out on May 17th. Then frontman James Murphy made an unusual request to those in attendance.
“If you got a copy of the record early and you feel like sharing it with the rest of the world, then please don’t,” he said on bended knees to the 1,500 fans present.
“We spent two years making this record and we want to put it out when we want to put it out. I don’t care about money – after it comes out, give it to whoever you want for free but until then, keep it to yourself,” he added.
The album has already appeared on at least one private tracker and it won’t be long before it leaks to others and onto the wider Internet.
Although Murphy will undoubtedly be disappointed at this leak, he should take comfort that the band’s fans will be supportive of them and their forthcoming gigs will be filled to capacity. Hopefully they will also pick up some new fans.
As ever though, the biggest question is who leaked the advance copy? The smart money is on an industry insider, as usual.

Vond het ook geniaal. Jammer alleen dat ze geen leuke nummers van this is happening hebben gespeeld.quote:Op woensdag 5 mei 2010 03:36 schreef Evil_Koekje het volgende:

Ik vond 013 eerst wat ver weg vanaf Groningen dus ik had besloten om niet te gaan. Maar ik had zonet This Is Happening aan staan met Home, en ik kon gewoon niet anders dan 2 kaarten bestellen.quote:
Aja, voor mij is het voor de verandering wel een keer dichtbij, ben benieuwd of het uitverkoopt. Maar Groningen.. zit je dan niet om half 11 al weer in de trein?quote:Op zondag 1 augustus 2010 08:38 schreef Evil_Koekje het volgende:

Geen idee of er iemand mee wil, maar ik ben erbij.

Ik wacht nog wel even tot Tilburg, misschien dat ik 'm daarna eens aanzet. Heb al wel All My Friends gezien, kippenvel.
quote:In a special edition of World Cafe, LCD Soundsystem performs in studio ... in London. James Murphy's band played the Glastonbury Festival on June 27 as part of a European festival tour and had a few days to kill, so it stopped by The Pool at Miloco Studios in Bermondsey.
The recording is killer, and "Drunk Girls" — the first single from LCD Soundsystem's acclaimed album This is Happening — sounds much better here than on record. Props to engineer Joe Adams and his assistant, Matt Wiggins.
In an interview with host David Dye, Murphy explains the danger of reading too much into his songs, clarifies the future of LCD Soundsystem, and calls summer music festivals a "mixed blessing." Murphy was such an intriguing interview, we didn't have time to include a live version of oldie-but-goodie "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" in the broadcast. But hey, that's whats the web's for, right?

Jammer dat ze stoppen, maar ben blij dat ik ze afgelopen jaar nog twee keer heb mogen meemaken. Dat ze er maar een mooie dvd maken voor de mensen die niet in de buurt van New York wonen.
Ik meen ergens gelezen te hebben dat het inderdaad op DVD uitkomt.quote:Op dinsdag 5 april 2011 01:01 schreef Evil_Koekje het volgende:
Zal toch vast wel een dvd of iets van uitkomen toch?
Trailerquote:On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with NEW YORK magazine calling the event "a marvel of pure craft" and TIME magazine lamenting "we may never dance again." SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is both a narrative film documenting this once in a life time performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.
