LCD Soundsystem Star Snubs Janet Jackson

LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy snubbed Janet Jackson when she asked him to write a "funky and dirty" track for her.

The rocker was approached by the Nasty singer after she was impressed with the band's debut single, Losing My Edge.

Jackson asked Murphy to help boost her chart hopes by creating a tailor-made song for her - but he ignored the request.

Murphy tells Uncut magazine, "I got a phone message from Janet Jackson saying. 'Hi, I love Losing My Edge, can you do me something funky and dirty like that?' I can't really do off-the-peg stuff, so I never called back. It's not a problem. I'll always find a way to make a living."
