James Murphy retired/ended the buzzband LCD Soundsystem, but for some reason he is still addicted to indie fame, buzz, the spotlight, getting blogged about, and being famous on the internet. He is truly the Brett Favre of indie rock, using the 'retirement ploy' in order to capture the entire world's attention and gratitude, but then continue to stay active in the scene. He made such a big deal about his retirement, and made every1 stand thru a 10 hour show at Madison Square Garden, u kinda wish he would stop showing up to promote his band, even at fake awards shows.

Next thing u know, he shows up at some awards shows called The Webbys trying to scrape up his last bit of alt fame and notoriety. LCD Soundsystem apparently won the award for 'Artist of the Year', which means they used the internet the best. Doesn't seem like that is true, but I guess they live in the greater NYC area and had nothing better to do, and all of the tech-bags who showed up 2 this fake awards show probably felt like they were special.

He even paraded out the old band, including the Hot Chip guy and SAD LCD AZN. I feel really bad for her. I just want her to 'go solo' and prove 2 every1 that she basically 'made' LCD Soundsystem, but until she moves past the psychological damage that Jimmy Murph did 2 her, I just don't know.

Which buzzband does the best job of 'using the web'?
Does LCD Soundsystem even use the internet 4 anything besides selling tix thru Ticketmaster then getting angry at Ticketmaster for not selling tickets to 'the right group of ppl'?
Did LCD Soundsystem deserve this award?
Does this mean they 'already unretired'?
Was it inauthentic of them 2 accept it?
Do u wish James Murphy would just retire and go away?
Is he addicted 2 fame?
Is James Murphy the Brett Favre of indie?
