Movie

In class, we watched a movie about LCD SoundSystem's last performance and the day following that. The movie showed the view of the lead singer's, David Murphy, last day and the day following it. At first, the band never really wanted to play an arena, they always wanted to play for parties or people having a good time. Over time, they began to become big, and then they said they wouldn't tour. Ends up, they toured. They played an interesting style of music that had a lot of electronic aspects, but had a rhythm, and also had a lot of singing. The audience in the pit was going crazy. They were jumping and dancing for all that we saw, and although they were touring, they had a party-like atmosphere that kept true to what they said they would do. I liked some of the songs that were played, and others I didn't like so much. David Murphy, to me, looks like he should be a an opera singer of some sort, not the kind of music that he played. That caught me by surprised, but none the less, I liked it. I thought they sent out a good vibe, and the documentary was interesting. I thought it was extremely unique how they just stopped making music, didn't want to be known as LCD SoundSystem, and then just started living normal lives. There are very few instances where anyone or group in anything just quit, while they were at the top, making a lot of money, just because they wanted to stop making music. I admire that a lot.
