About Me

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!)


for more info visit fabric
order from insound
a bunch of stuff ep!
not to be outdone by the fabulously titled "confuse the marketplace",
we've also made a bunch of stuff
it's basically a bunch of stuff that you couldn't download for whatever reason.
you know what they say: necessity is the mother of convention!
includes:
all my friends (franz ferdinand cover)
get innocuous (soulwax remix)
us v them (windsurf remix)
tme to get away (gucci soundsystem remix)
us v them (live on morning becomes eclectic)
why there's no john cale version on this, i'll never know.
buy it here
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!
