But he also understood that putting together unlikely things could produce interesting emotional friction.
And his intense, theatrical sense of self-awareness short-circuited criticisms that his music was unoriginal—that seemed to be the point. Being older means that you have a longer list of old highs to chase, if you have the energy to do so. He was suggesting an emotional grammar without ever clearly employing it. His songs offered glimpses of drifting apart and letting go, of feeling love and being loved, but rarely more than just glimpses.
There was always an incompleteness that felt meaningful. The book is broadly about making it in the city and conjuring a scene you want to be a part of. Rock traditions finally unravelled, and Murphy became the new establishment. I also thought it was a curious title for a time like now. But while the concert and the music is at its heart Murphy mixed the sound for the movie himself , there is another strand to the film, one that looks at why a band who play in front of 19, people would give it up, and what they might do next.
In the film, Murphy is quizzed on his motivations by the author Chuck Klosterman recruited after Southern and Lovelace read his interview with Murphy for the Guardian. It becomes clear that they are less about the band and more about himself: his fear of burning out on the road, of being seen to milk his career for fame.
There is also a sense of Murphy being supremely self-conscious, always second-guessing himself and his motivations. That he might, therefore, become a figurehead for a generation of hipsters for whom irony was a default setting seems rather appropriate. For Southern, the MSG concert marked a moment for the hipster, too.
As it approached, the concert felt more and more significant for that. LCD seemed to play such an important part over the last 10 years and them ending and the way the world is changing seemed like a theme for the film.
