Want to see some weird shit? Well, this past weekend was the fifth annual AUX Experimental Arts Festival in Athens, GA and as you can imagine by its name, it was pretty experimental. But, the festivities brought out Jeff Mangum, the Neutral Milk Hotel deity who rarely performs, to jam with weird-ass masked project called The Soap Scums. Though this is probably only for the Mangum completists, it is still a pretty entertainingly strange watch, with a toasty conclusion.
