James @ Terminal 5 in March (more by Andrew St. Clair)

The annual 'Fashion's Night Out' is this Thursday (9/8), and that means free events at clothing stores all over NYC. One of those events takes place at VPL @ 5 Mercer Street in Manhattan. Running from 6-11pm, the "Mercer x Howard Block Party" will feature a performance (DJ set most likely, though they never speficy) by James Murphy "and more". James will also DJ on 9/10 in Columbia, MD at Virgin Freefest (who also initially advertised the performance as "James Murphy solo").
UPDATE: :Block Party is cancelled.
In related news, Tokyo Police Club have been keeping busy releasing cover songs including "All My Friends" by LCD Soundsystem. Listen below...

Dear #1 Poster,
You are clearly a BV virgin poster. So, please allow me to break this shit down for you.
A James Murphy/LCD posting, with pic included!, will reach 50 in about one hour. I'mma let you get that crisp, clean $10 bill ready to hand over new kid on the block.
Put down your fucking Billyburger and pay attention!

I heard back in 2006 that "The Avalanches are FINALLY going to put out their 2nd album this year." They're just clearing samples, guys!

This just in: Frohawk will be DJing the same night at Sephora!

12:35: that's because a Thom Yorke DJ set sounds like a bunch of computers farting for an hour.

I heard your band traded in your guitars and got turntables. I also heard James Murphy traded in his turntables and got donuts.
