[edit] Seinfeld

'At age 22, Murphy was offered a job writing for what was then a little-known sitcom named Seinfeld. He did not expect the show to be successful and chose to continue with music instead.^{[citation needed]}"

I see this listed on some various websites, but really, how can this be verified; without any real sources, it is pretty irrelevent to the bio of a musician, don't you think? I mean, where in his bio do we see that he has been a script writer before or after?

I put the bit back in, with a citation. I also don't think it's irrelevant as this is a bio of a person, not a musical project, hence why it's not put on the LCD Soundsystem page. Plum743 12:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Uh.

Vandalism at the bottom of the article here?

[edit] removal of rock DJ

yes james murphy does disc jockey. however, he best characterized as a musician first and foremost. playing records / djing has been has become more popular for large audiences and individuals like mr. murphy who have captialized on it.

also, james murphy isn't strictly a rock dj in the sense clint boon or jarvis cocker are, he's more adept and electronic.

[edit] gay?

Isn't he gay? I've met him many times and always thought so, but now that I think about it I'm not totally sure. Aroundthewayboy 03:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

He's married as far as I know. I think she was in an electoclash band.Secretlondon 16:33, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

A lot of married men are gay. -anonymous

"I t’s early on a Saturday, and Murphy is stumbling around his apartment with his wife, a model turned designer named Mandy Coon. They live in Williamsburg, in a refurbished building next to a garage adorned with orangutan graffiti." Quoth New York Magazine.... though I do wish he were gay.... he's hot as all fuck.--PulpAffliction 02:37, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] As could be expected?

As could be expected, the Canadians lost, and the band could no longer use their original name.

What is that supposed to mean, exactly? I guess I know what it's supposed to mean, but it doesn't seem very unbiased.
