I recently wrote an article titled “Shut Up And Don’t Play The Hits” which is a spin on Shut Up and Play the Hits, a 2012 documentary film directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace that follows LCD Sound system front man James Murphy. In it, Murphy talks about the strain on musicians taking new music to old fans in hopes of drawing in new fans, and the pull to play the hits to the delight of old fans but the confusion of new fans.
In this article I talked about how Carolina wins when they avoid the big hits and play so fast that the other team cannot get to them.
