Man Man are on tour with Modest Mouse! Okay, i realize that everyone's been abuzz about the Modest Mouse tour, but somehow i failed to notice that Man Man is their tour mates. i did notice that these musical pirates and their apocolyptic circus performances had gained fans here on mog, so i thought i would share the goodness...Music Linkswww.wearemanman.comwww.myspace.com/wearemanman They have the most amazing music video, created by Jeremy Mayhew for their song "Banana Ghost". It has black and white paper collage action, a la Monty Python meets Max Ernst. Watch it here. (you too, supersecretOprah! this video is so much fun!)
