I'm never a real big fan of bands and artists having big send-offs for themselves when they "retire". Maybe I'm the ultimate cynic but too many times I feel like it's just an elaborate method to bank on the moment they inevitably come out of retirement or re unite. Maybe artists like Jay-Z made it way less authentic a move for possibly other, actually sincere artists to try and fallow suit. Oddly enough, fellow New Yorker James Murphy, iconic brain child behind dance-punk outfit LCD Sound System, finds himself in the same "self proclaimed" final concert at Madison Square Garden as Jay-Z did in 2003. Premiering in this years Sundance Film Festival, "Shut Up and Play the Hits" focuses around Murphy and days leading up to the final show at Madison Square Garden. How Murphy and LCD Sound System choose to walk off into the sunset is completely up to them, in the mean time we can all hopefully get a taste of what it was like to party one last epic night with the old gang.
