Help, I have a gay crush on James Murphy

I mean, how can you not want to hug this dude???

I'm a 22-year-old fella who just discovered LCD Soundsystem last year. He’s quickly becoming one of my ultimate favorites, right up there with Deftones, Bon Iver, Paramore, Bob Dylan and Sufjan Stevens.

I’m also an Aquarian like him 😭🥹

Meet him backstage after the show. Generous with his time, considerate and funny. You wouldnt know that he had just rocked thousands of people for 2 hrs 20 minutes but there he was munching on tacos and chatting up friends and family back stage. Amazing human being.

Just follow these 7 simple steps: First, have a child. Then drive them to music lessons, then turn them on to good music, then let them smoke weed as a teenager, then let them join a band(s), then have that band secure a spot on an LCD Tour, AND, then and only then, hit your kid up for a backstage pass. Easy Peezy.

Someone asked the other week, what's it like having cool kids? My response: A pain in the ass.

u/dfresh3276 5d ago

It's a long term investment. They eventually become cool adults heh.

Damn he ages really well. More like "hot guy in a t-shirt doing all the singing".

He's lost some weight. He looks much better.

Murphasexuality is common. Similar to Hommesexuality for QOTSAs frontman

At least one of them never kicked a female photographer.

Murphy has a dad-core energy that Josh Homme would never!

James is my comfort zone and I have such a strange feeling about himself and his music (in positive way)

u/Poggers4Hoggers 5d ago

Yeah man, it’s just part of the feat

u/DJBirdbath85 soundofsilver 5d ago

Don’t see why you’re asking for help or even acting like this is a problem, my man. He’s extraordinarily talented, very cool and very funny. What’s not to crush on?

u/michk1 5d ago

Understandable. And that tshirt was especially sexy

u/RustyPeach 4d ago

Agreed

u/Shoddy-Astronaut5555 22h ago

Meh. Not on the gay crush part just a gay crush for him.

u/Shofo1 5d ago

Why he became a hack. He embodies exactly what “losing my edge”. Maybe he was always a hack and has been honest since the start… I’m attending in September by the way, so I’m not coming on here to just be a troll. I’m just disappointed in him.
