the original live stream was easily the best live 'event' ive ever experienced on the net so yeah a polished version of the whole show would be flat out sensational i think.
who's Klosterman btw or do i.. not want to know?
― piscesx, Thursday, 19 July 2012 07:52 (eleven years ago) link
I'm hoping when the DVD/Bluray comes out it'll have a music-only edit, because that'll be one of the finer concert films I can imagine.
iirc the whole final show will be on a second disc
― shmamille shmaglia (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 19 July 2012 13:44 (eleven years ago) link
think there's probably more footage of his grandstanding and repetition of his his 'theories' than there is of Murphy's answers
this is exactly what I was afraid of; Klostermann is okay in small doses but I can totally see how he could basically ruin a movie like this
I'm sure someone else could describe him better than me but he's basically a long-time stoner journalist who writes half-baked theories at length before ultimately concluding that he thinks they're worthless or that he really doesn't have an opinion, priding himself on how underdeveloped his own thoughts are. Y'know, the guy who writes a five-page essay on a band he's never heard that ultimately turns into stories about listening to Van Halen records while hung over 25 years ago. He does occassionally write some brilliant stuff, but you really have to dig for it.

i'd never heard of him going in. he seemed kind of an idiot, but he's not in it enough for me to have formed a proper opinion. i guess this means he's not in it enough for it to be a serious problem, unless you go in knowing his thing and ready to bristle every time he comes on screen.
― caek, Thursday, 19 July 2012 14:04 (eleven years ago) link
i actually didn't mind klosterman as much as I usually do. his theorizing fits lcd/murphy better then most his interviews imo.
but yeah, basically the movie comes down if you want to see concert footage of lcd and are a fan, see it. not much doing otherwise.

― bnw, Thursday, 19 July 2012 14:05 (eleven years ago) link
This is the last thing I expected to write: I got weary of the music fast while wanted more of Klosterman's interview. He started gaseous but in the last bits he asked a couple of sharp questions which Murphy couldn't wriggle out of. As for the music, it reminded me of my mixed reaction to an otherwise spectacular show I saw in fall '10: Murphy has no business singing live.

does he take him to task for making a big deal out of "splitting up" what is really a one-man band?
― frogbs, Thursday, 19 July 2012 14:08 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i think that's fair alfred. the questions he asks are themselves good. he clearly has his own answer in mind when he's asking them, which is not so good/interesting, but it is a good interview to watch i think.

haha if an ilx music journo ever interviews murphy please please ask this question
― iatee, Friday, 20 July 2012 01:44 (eleven years ago) link
the live band was about nine people plus crew on the last tour, and he said he was "splitting up" the band inasmuch as they were going to stop making albums and touring, but would probably still record a bit and maybe play shows in NYC. hardly a disconnect.
― ¥╡*ٍ*╞¥ (sic), Friday, 20 July 2012 02:02 (eleven years ago) link
ya but the 'splitting up' narrative requires multiple people who you care about and want to see together
― iatee, Friday, 20 July 2012 02:03 (eleven years ago) link
I demand you acknowledge the importance of Nancy Whang.
― hot sauce delivery device (mh), Friday, 20 July 2012 02:14 (eleven years ago) link
oh yeah, I mean the live band is great, but it's not as though say Murphy plus the entirety of Hot Chip and other random labelmates wouldn't be basically as good. Still, Murphy is one of the most self-aware musicians we've ever had and kind of an idealist to boot so I can see how this is really a big deal for him, "it has to end this way, otherwise LCD's legacy isn't going to be what I want it to be"
― frogbs, Friday, 20 July 2012 17:31 (eleven years ago) link
did he say 'splitting up' or 'retiring'?

Update – 4:00 p.m.: DFA Records, the label co-owned by Murphy, has issued a statement denying the band’s plans to reunite. Despite this, our sources stress the band intends to reunite next year, and we stand behind our original report.
