James Murphy isn’t losing his edge, he’s losing money — a reported $93,899 — by way of his absent business partner and DFA Records co-founder Tim Goldsworthy, who was compensated for unperformed work. On Friday, Murphy filed a lawsuit with the Manhattan Civil Supreme Court for “breach of contract” and “unjust enrichment.” It’s also been reported that Goldsworthy was using DFA’s money for non-business reasons, including improper use of credit cards and cash in their bank account. CoS has pointed to an interview with label manager Johnathan Galkin where he explains that three years ago, Goldsworthy and his family left the country unannounced for London and have not made contact with DFA since. “Attempts to amicably resolve this matter were rebuffed,” according to the lawsuit. It doesn’t look like anyone is going to dance themselves clean of this one.

うーん、結構ショックだ。
So true.
そうですよ。たくさんお金があります！晴れるといいですね…でも、ジェマズマーフィはdouchebag、と私の日本語はちょっとよくない。すみません。
.There are a lot of money! I hope that it will be fine … but the Jema’s Murphy douchebag, and my Japanese is not good for me. I’m sorry.
Can’t trust them online translators, son.
Fun to see some Nihongo up in here. I’m on my work computer or else I’d join in. Where’d ya learn that, Wesley?
On that note, it’s a shame you think Murphy is a douchebag.
I don’t really, I just thought it’d be a fun way to end the sentence.
Anyway, I have to take four semesters of a foreign language for my major, and I already took Spanish, German, and French (for like three weeks) in high school, so I decided to go with Japanese. The hard parts aren’t the vocabulary or the grammar, it’s the thousands of kanji you need to memorize in order to be properly literate and the fact that it’s spoken so damn fast. That shit sucks.
I hear that. I lived in Japan for 5 years (3 as a child). I was able to learn the language and hiragana/katakana, but I’ll be damned if kanji is near impossible for me these days outside of the basics haha.
Goro-san, are you really Nihonjin?
and if i sue into submission
i can still come home to this
Living proof, that sometimes friends are mean.
One evening while pondering his financial losses atop a churning krautrock beat, Murphy ponderously yelped, “If I could sue all my friends tonight…”
or, Daft Punk was playing at his house, but then he was like “uhhh sorry guys the $93,000 I was going to pay you was totally taken by one of the co-founders of my label cuz he’s a dick” and now they aren’t.
He seems to know what he’s doing in life. I would love a cup of coffee made by James Murphy. Man.
I’m going to sue Stereogum and Converse for annoying the shit out of me yesterday!
Let’s make it a class action lawsuit. Maybe we’ll get free shoes. I wanna look like the demographic Converse thinks I belong to.
got ya
now if someone doesn’t mind combining those two images, i’m gonna go eat
WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT
^ That’s about how annoying this Converse shit is.
it’s pretty bad. and thanks
Anything for you, Mr. Draper.
Looks like that pop-up stopped so that’s good.
Adblock is really great and I recommend it for everyone.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen quite as severe a neck beard as on James Murphy
yeah, pretty jealous. i have this weird patch underneath my chin that just doesn’t grow. just a constant reminder that i’m not yet a man
I have a more severe neck beard, but I wouldn’t be jealous of me CAUSE I CAN ONLY GROW A NECK BEARD.
