i like ultimate fighting. i like glam rock, punk rock and disco. i get all
excited when somebody else throws a good party and i can just go to it and get
wasted without dj'ing. i like to be around people who aren't douchebags. i'm
from new jersey originally (like morgan geist--yeah you heard me) which should
explain the ultimate fighting stuff and the use of the word "douchebag". i've
lived in new york city since the late 80's when i was still a teenager and most
of you were popping screaming out of your mothers' loins. i was in a new wave
band called the mystery meats when it wasn't "retro" because new wave was new,
and named thusly because of that fact. i played a red bc rich guitar that i
borrowed and a blonde fender 60's musicmaster that i stole, and there lies the
internal conflict that has dominated my life: awesome and horrible red, angular
bc rich guitar or subtle and possibly boring 60's minimal base-level guitar.
i am married to a woman who is way too good-looking and decent to marry me,
but due to a long period of hypnosis, low-level drugging and sleep deprivation,
eventually capitulated. we have a dog that is similarly too good for me. seriously.
the dog is hot. the dog is basically a model. well, more of a pageant girl--but
you know what i mean. she could be a model, but she's pretty backward and country
about fashion... she's into prom dresses and, like, overdone base makeup and
fake nails. but she lives in new york now, and she's changing a little over
time, which i think is liberating for her--the dog, i mean--but i hope she doesn't
change too much and do that annoying new-york-girl thing where they all try
to be edie sedgewick or something--"ooh look at me! i'm crazy! i can't be contained!"
it's an act played by people who don't know anyone who's actually schizophrenic.
knowing real crazy people takes some of the "glamour" out of it for you, you
know? like: what's glamorous about soiling yourself? oh crap. am i supposed
to be writing about me?

james "jitsu" murphy and pat "disco dad" mahoney made FABRICLIVE 36.
we are exceedingly proud of it.
it's pretty disco, to be honest, so expect no "punk funk jams".
and please don't ask us to play any lcd if we dj near you. (awkward!)

somewhere secret hides some split lcd/arcade fire 7"s. i actually don't know where, so i figure i'd make it seem mysterious. we do have them, though.
probably at the dfa online store.
we played this myspace show at the TLA in phily because we were told over and over that it was some sort of a big deal, blah blah blah. the pros were we got to play in philly where i (james) lived for a hot minute in the late '80s, and have fond memories of, and--get this--it was free. but it was early and filmed, which is straight weird. we did manage to get a good cheese steak and blueberry muffins from the pink rose.
here's the evidence.
god, i love ringtones. so much that i had these hand crafted exclusive versions of some lcd songs just for you.
look! more crap!
