With one of our New Music Thursday features today hailing from the 8-bit musical realm, we were reminded of our 8-bit hero, Dan Deacon. It’s an interview and performance from February 18, 2005 on Savannah, Georgia’s WSAV NBC morning show, Coastal Sunrise. We love this video for so many reasons, not the least of which is its home-video quality, Dan’s hand movements while the interview is talking to him, and the enjoyment of getting to see one of our favorite musicians before he was who we know today.
