status ain’t hood interviews james murphy of lcd soundsystem:

“I never made a living making records. And I never expected to. I still don’t expect to. We go on tour and I lose money. But I actually get to make money DJing. I make a living DJing, straight up. My bills are paid by DJing and by production work. But I haven’t made money on production work because all the money just got reinvested in the studio for years. So I make money as a DJ. But I was so broke for so long that not selling a lot of records doesn’t phase me of affect me or bum me out because I never sold a lot of records. And nor am I 23 years old thinking it’s my time. My time was 1993, and I didn’t do anything with it, so this is a fucking bonus. This is a free shot as far as I’m concerned.”

the whole interview makes for good reading
