Title: jekyll port

preview (mostly looks the same): http://magoni.github.io/murmurs

the difference:
i ported the site to jekyll (read about it and set up a local development environment [here](http://jekyllrb.com)). the html source doesn't look much different but check out the individual releases.html/artists.html pages in the repo; the templating language takes care of the nav and head info. if we want to change nav or head stuff it's located in the _layouts/splash.html (for the first splash page) and _layouts/default.html pages, and will change sitewide if changed in those files.

hosting:
* github pages is free hosting so all we need to make this live is a custom url
* we might want to move the whole thing to tumblr because people could follow updates/it's also free hosting

things to consider/possible improvements:
* we can make artists into jekyll posts and have small bios on each artist page with a soundcloud widget instead of linking directly to artist soundclouds?
* releases page maybe should be a grid with album pictures that link to pages with the bandcamp players (or just directly to the bandcamp release)?
* mouseover artist images could turn images to color?
* minimal murmurs logo text above nav?
