James Murphy and Sam Lipsyte Tonight

James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and Sam Lipsyte, author of “Home Land” and “The Subject Steve,” and a recently Guggenheimed novelist and Columbia professor, will be at Joe’s Pub tonight. Lipsyte “began his descent as the much feared Sam Shit, front-man of the internationally ignored Dung Beetle Rock Band.” And Dung Beetle’s engineer was none other than James Murphy. Not really sure what this evening will involve, but…the Joe’s Pub website says “Sam and James reunite in a context that will be part conversation, part consternation, and part Ultimate Fighting.” Huh? Tickets are $20.
