The folk at Steregum allude to the Kermit The Frog-like sounds of LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy on “Sound Of Silver”, so I guess it makes sense that Murphy and director Simon Owens imagined this electro-ballad to be sung by Kermie himself.

I caught this video over at Evil Monito this morning and couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Of course, it helps that I’ve been obsessed with this track since Monday morning when I stumbled upon it of Fader.

Atlanta, Georgia’s Deerhunter makes hollow cool. You listen to their tracks and it’s like watching a Polaroid develop in front of your eyes. The imperfections of the process making their presence even more exciting.
They’re currently on a US tour promoting their self-entitled double album — the second in their tenure as Indie-heavyweights. Pitchfork Media spent [...]

I recorded some clips on the way to the airport last week and added some tunes. This is basically a test to see if I know how to add a podcast to the blog. Enjoy.
