Shut Up And Play The Hits

[Johnny Marr]

is a documentary of the final concert of LCD Soundsystem, interspersed with
an interview of frontman James Murphy the following day as he discusses
what the band meant to him and why he decided to break them up at the
height of their popularity and acclaim.

Early on in the film the camera pans to a well stocked bookshelf and pans
in on well thumbed copies of Mason Dixon and Inherent Vice, before Murphy
begins to explain how he began reading Gravity's Rainbow when he was a
teenager more as a posture than out of genuine literary curiosity, but that
Pynchon's writings, themes and perspective have fundamentally altered his
own view of art and the wider world.

LCD Soundsystem won't appeal to some of the older members of the P-list - I
suppose you could call them post-punk revivalists - but John Cale liked
them enough to cover All My Friends.
