Pitchfork: Do you pay much attention to new music at all? Do you have the time for it?Ha. People who can already easily release music are always saying things like "it's too easy to release music."
James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem: I don't really have that much time. I guess I'm interested but I guess I'm not. I would like to be interested. I have this vague sort of prejudice where I'm like "Ehh". But, you know, I like being proven wrong. And I like being proven wrong by stuff where everyone's like "Oh yeah, they're big!" I'm like, "What's this? This is interesting!" People say, "That's the Drums. Everybody knows what that is." And I'm like, "Oh, I like this!" Like a year later. I remember I did that with Arcade Fire like two years after the fact. I said, "Who's this? This is good!" And everyone's like, "Oh, Jesus." I'm not like, y'know, [mimes being on the Internet]. "What are the kids doing?" But it's tough. It wears you out, as Thom Yorke said. I just think there's too much music. It's too easy to release music.

Big pizza. Big pizza.
If you like onions and anchovies,
You will love our de-lic-i-ous pies.
(Simultaneously with "pies") Big pizza. Big pizza.
Just take one look at the size of them,
and you'll trash your burger and fries.
(Simultaneously with "fries") Big pizza. Big pizza.
You won't believe how many we have sold.
Tasty hot and very tasty cold.
If you like sausage and parmesan,
Pepperoni -- and baloney...
We challenge you to finish every bite.
You'll be chewing morning, noon and night.
If you have taste buds and fortitude,
Buy our pizza -- and EAT!
