James Murphy eloquently ripped the internet a new asshole — an impressive feat considering its already full of them — but that’s not stopping him from using it to offer up tidbits on his anticipated new record. There were the amusing Facebook updates, but now he’s gone one better, releasing a video bit filmed in the L.A. mansion that doubled as homestead and studiostead for all his friends. That’s how it starts. On his process: “I always have to live where I’m recording, and that’s full stop. To make an LCD record I have to live there. Otherwise I get distracted by stuff … so I don’t get to work by 3. This way I wake up and I’m already here, ready to go.” And on why he chose a Los Angeles mansion with a pool as the site of recording: “‘Cause it would be awesome dude, have you seen this place?” Fair enough.
LCD’s new record is expected in March, which is also when Greenberg comes out (3/12), the Noah Baumbach film which James soundtracked and even cameos in. After that, catch ‘em opening for Jay-Z on the Coachella mainstage.

That’s Lew Ashby’s place.
Good thing he’s dead. Miss you, Moody.
that is not Lew Ashby Place – that is Rick Rubin’s place http://www.flickr.com/photos/headley/295862752/
Yeah I recognize it from Fade to Black – it’s where Jay-Z recorded “99 Problems”
Yes, it’s Rick Rubin’s place. But it served as Lou Ashby’s house (a fictional character.. a great one in fact) in a few episodes of Californication. So you’re both right.
I’m afraid I’ve come to believe that it does take a little taste andimagination to enjoy the Twitter and the net…Bowie gave me “Stay With Me”…I’ve now I’ve got “Just One Smile”on my mind…Is that good?
he needs to lose some weight.
I’d just like to reiterate that James Murphy totally has that “hot dad” thing going on. Doesn’t even matter if he’s actually a dad or not.
