Aesop Rock and Slug (of Atmosphere) assist Seattle's newbies Grayskul on this great new track. Nothing funny about this Office.

Atmosphere at work in Dallas (cred).
Unfortunately I didn't get to see Slug and Ant at Rock The Bells this weekend. They always put on a great show and have released the 9th installment of The "Sad Clown" series: Sad Clown Bad Summer Accompanied by Piano. The EP has a bunch of rare and limited tour only recordings, one of which can be downloaded above. Very pleasant little EP. It will only be sold at Paid Dues and Rock the Bells and online through Minneapolis' Fifth Element while they last. CMJ writes about the EP too.
