Simon Reynolds kindly reprints most of his thorough profile of LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy at blissblog; it originally ran in a German muzikmagazineichsprach. (One wonders why Britney Spears didn't come up this time.) Murphy comes across as a representative member of that growing breed, the collector-performer (coformer?), someone so supremely aware of music history up to and including yesterday that it can make your neck hurt just trying to keep up with the references --- "I mention Bloom's anxiety theory pretty regularly in interviews!" sez Murph. (Ira Kaplan, holler.)
