Douglas Wolk: May 2010 Archives

"You're very generous," James Murphy told the audience a few songs into the LCD Soundsystem show at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon, last night. "By which I mean that we're putting out a certain amount of energy, and you're giving us back that and more." It might have been the most gracious way I've ever seen a performer acknowledge having an off night. 

Banksy's film "Exit Through the Gift Shop"--which I just saw in Portland, Oregon, and which is currently making its way across the country, according to its official site--is a thoroughly entertaining piece of work. It also seems like it's unusually difficult to approach critically. (Spoilers for it are under the cut, if anyone here cares about such things.)
