>>>> Man Man got the hookup on Weeds (cast pictured here, watch that shit if you don’t already) last night to the tune of not one but two songs — the vaunted theme slot (sounded like Man Man) and another tune during the action (also sounded like Man Man). We were takin’ one for the team, looking for the tracks to post for you, but all we really found out was this Wikipedia entry — “is a playfully existential United States Viking-vaudeville punk-wop rock-and-soul collective” — and that they list none other than the New York Mets as an influence on their MySpace. WTF, people: We give up. [Wikipedia/MySpace]
>>> Anybody else clocking Sean Agnew‘s strange mind control over Pitchfork? Scenario: Angry (most likely insane) mom writes a letter about how the Animal Collective show was giving her Manson family/afterschool special flashbacks and wondering if R5/AC are a cult; Agnew goes BLAHAHAHA all over the internet, posting her letter on messageboards, MySpace, anywhere cut-n-paste will work; Pitchfork hears it like a dog whistle; AND VOILA! Shit, Forque, even Philebrity had taken a pass on this item. Look alive over there, wouldja? On the plus side, Agnew got to deliver the zinger he’s been doling out to parents ever since he was booking Ink & Dagger shows: “We are not a cult and you have horrible grammar. Good luck on your journey with your child.” [Pitchfork]
>>> Because really, it’s all about the new new new Designer Drugs mixtape. Believe. [BigStereo]
