Despite the fact that James Murphy literally got down on his knees and begged his fans not to leak the new LCD Soundsystem album, some big meanie went and did it anyway.
At a secret gig in New York on Monday, Murphy pleaded, "If you got a copy of the record early and you feel like sharing it with the rest of the world, then please don’t. We spent t wo years making this record and we want to put it out when we want to put it out. I don’t care about money - after it comes out, give it to whoeve r you want for free but until then, keep it to yourself."
In response to the leak, Murphy is now streaming the album in full at https://www.lcdsoundsystem.com/thisishappening.
'This Is Happening' is due for release in Ireland on May 14th.
