1) James Murphy (born 1970, raised in Princeton Junction, New Jersey) is a musician, producer, deejay, and co-founder of dance-punk label Dfa Records. His most well-known musical project is LCD Soundsystem, who first gained attention with its first single, “Losing My Edge”, in 2002 before releasing a self-titled album in February 2005 to critical acclaim and top 20 success in the UK.
Murphy’s second LCD Soundsystem album, entitled Sound of Silver, was released on March 12, 2007. In October 2009 Pitchfork Media named the track “All My Friends” off Sound of Silver, the second best song of the decade, and a week later, Sound of Silver was ranked at #17 in The Top 200 Albums of the 2000s list.
On February 23, 2010, the official LCD Soundsystem website announced that the band’s third album had been completed. The first single isDrunk Girls. The title of the album and the cover were revealed on the DFA site on March 30. The album, titled This Is Happening, was released in the UK on May 17, 2010 and in the US on May 18, 2010. The album debuted at number ten on the Billboard 200 in its first week of sales, selling approximately 31,000 copies. It also topped Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart the same week of its debut, which dethroned Lady Gaga’s The Fame from its five month reign on the chart for one week. The album received “universal acclaim” according to review aggregator Metacritic, earning an 84/100 rating based on 38 professional reviews.

@Colton56, fuck you! How can you insult some1 who is disliked by you? Listen to the music you like and shut up! And one more thing: What is harder: playin' guitar or making electro music? That second one it's easy, I know many ppl, who aren't proffessionals and they can do it. And what about guitar? You should have some respect to all Guitarmen.

DARKZSOU7 - I hope he gets better too! Any1 knows any bands/songs that are similar to Murphy's solo projects? (Convergence, Feeding The Machine). Damn I so fucking love them. Every song is PERFECT. I love prog metal so these albums are ideal for me. In other prog albums I like one song more, than another. Another song I don't like, another I love, but... EVERY song from his solo projects are AMAZING, PERFECT, AWESOME! I hope he'll be healthy and record more solo projects. But for now - can any1 give me some songs similar to his solo projects?

"James Murphy, legendary rock/metal guitarist (helped me with World Under Blood's TACTICAL cd) has just informed me that the brain tumor he was diagnosed with in the late 90's had been improving and shrinking for the last several years... is returning rapidly. if my wife felissa and I could get our facebook friends to each paypal at least $1, he will have an easier time covering the expenses that come with having no insurance and being a musician/producer. i'm asking you to contribute as much as you want, but the person that contributes the most will recieve something very special from my wife and i. im ot trying to make a competition out of this, i just want my buddy well again. please share this post and the paypal address is felissarose123@aol.com 100% of the money will go to his treatment and expenses. thanks so much in advance!!!" - http://www.reddit.com/r/self/comments/l3m7t/deron_miller_cky_is_asking_for_1_donations_to/

I Think both Murphy guys should do a song together or even an album. This would be fun, especially concidering difference in genres.
