http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/james_murphy_9039.jpg LCD Soundsystem was an [[NewYorkCity NYC]]-based sort of {{dance-punk}} [[BuffySpeak band thing]] that was the project of James Murphy, who plays most, if not all instruments on the records. For the sake of the sanity of this article, the project will be referred to as a band so the word "they" will be used.
