Paul and Aziz Cause a Stir on Sirius Satellite Radio


From Product Shop NYC:


Blog Radio: Special Guest Cohost Aziz Ansari Interviews Jeff Mangum??



**FACTUAL UPDATE**: I thought that our "exclusive interview" with "Jeff Mangum" would immediately be exposed as a fake, especially considering that the interview was done by comedian Aziz Ansari, and that "Jeff" talked about releasing a soloflex machine, starting a dating show for VH1, killing the singer of Beirut, and the fact that he sounded exactly like Best Week Ever's Paul Scheer. Do I need to be any clearer about this? I know I should have kept this going longer, but this was obviously done without any intentions of upsetting or confusing fans of Neutral Milk Hotel or people involved with the band. Thank you all for the emails, but neither Aziz or myself have any connection to Jeff Mangum, except owning his records. Now here is a nicely edited version of the post. Enjoy.....


Product Shop NYC's latest Sirius Blog Radio broadcast was insane! In the studio were Jason PSNYC, 3xWes, and very special guest Aziz Ansari. As if being joined by one of New York's funniest men wasn't fabulous enough, Aziz somehow wrangled an exclusive FAKE phone interview with Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum!!!


In this most surreal interview, Aziz questioned THE FAKE Jeff on, among other things, his feelings on mentoring current "it" band Beirut, his future musical ventures, and his take on the pitchfork induced scandal where someone posted under his name in an the Elephant 6 Forum.


A big thanks to Aziz for joining us in the studio, getting us an exclusive interview with A FAKE Jeff Mangum, and selecting half of this weeks playlist, which included Coltrane, Cass McCombs, Alan Finger, Ariel Pink, The Greenhornes, and others.


You can listen to the entire obviously FAKE BUT STILL HYSTERICAL interview here.
