Adult Swim's Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim really want you to see their first feature film. They’ve asked people to sign a pledge to go see Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and not the upcoming film The Lorax because it  “looks BAD." They’ve enlisted several of their famous friends to make videos including Paul Rudd and his son, a bloody Weird Al, Fred Armisen and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, who appears with them in The Comedy, and really struggles with the task because he wants to see The Lorax, if he’s “on a plane or something.”

Since breaking up LCD Soundsystem James Murphy has stayed busy as the most interesting man alive, going on GQ party flights, releasing a documentary about LCD's last days, and finding the time to open up for Deadmau5. His newest project may be the coolest one yet: a supporting role in The Comedy, starring Adult Swim acidheads Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! fame. According to the synopsis, Heidecker plays a guy who "whiles away his days with a group of aging Brooklyn hipsters, engaging in acts of recreational cruelty and pacified boredom." Ah, so it's a documentary. After the click, you can watch a clip from the movie where Murphy makes an appearance.

A pretty amazing movie trailer is circulating the web today, in anticipation of its premiere at Sundance on January 22. Shut Up and Play The Hits is an intimate look at the days leading up to LCD Soundsystem’s final shows at Madison Square Garden. More specifically, it’s "both a narrative film documenting this once in a lifetime performance, and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision." That’s according to the film’s website, anyway.

With LCD Soundsystem playing their last ever gigs this week in New York, it feels as though a bookend is being slid into place on NYC's Decade of the Hipster. Fitting that LCD should be winding it all up at Madison Square Garden, anathema to everything indie kids ever pretended to stand for -- after all, LCD's James Murphy made it clear from the get-go what he thought of the swelling Zeitgeist when, in "Losing My Edge," he sang, "I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered 80's."

When celebs like Kim Kardashian bitch-tweet about their travel troubles, we only have so much sympathy for them. But when people we truly love, like LCD Soundsystem, experience traveler's trauma, we feel their pain.

James Murphy met Sam Lipsyte when the celebrated novelist went by the name Sam Shit, and Murphy was the sound engineer for his band Dung Beetle. Last night, the two old friends took the stage at Joe’s Pub for a free-form discussion which revealed, among other things, that in the LCD Soundsystem song “New York I Love You,” Murphy consciously made the decision to tweak his voice to sound like the perennially downtrodden Kermit the Frog. This is awesome because it brings new dimension to this independently inspired video (in which Murphy appears). A few more choice details from the evening’s chat after the jump.
