James Murphy is keeping pretty busy for someone that stated they wanted their life back or some semblance at least. I caught a DJ set by James Murphy once at the Church here in town. For those that haven’t been, the turntables are set high above in the sanctuary and you need to climb a ladder to get to the decks. I kind of ambushed JM to get the shot above, of course this was before LCD Soundsystem had turned into the behemoth that it is now. Check out his “10 songs that save me” below and listen to his 50 minute DJ from his visit to the Boiler Room or watch it here. The LCD frontman will be making his way to Boulder for a DJ set at the Boulder Theater on August 2 (get tickets here).
