It was announced today that courtesy of Germany’s Mahr’s Bräu brewery acclaimed metal overlords Mastodon will have a limited-edition beer named after them. Shortly thereafter an unexpected storm of *press releases flooded Flavorpill HQ, announcing future band-product collaborations. They are as follows:

-Iron and Wine has inspired a limited edition series of “Cheese and Grapes.”

-Wavves is reportedly selling miniature surfboards made of pure, Grade-A dank.

-Vampire Weekend is growing organic garlic necklaces for their fans. “It just made sense,” says lead singer Ezra Keonig.

-Spoon is selling forks. Always expect the unexpected.

-Mew is in the process of securing a commercial deal for the upcoming Pokemon release.

-Frightened Rabbit, Grizzly Bear, Deerhunter, Wolfe Parade, and Fleet Foxes are, rather predictably, commissioning band name embroidered fur coats.

-Sunset Rubdown recently announced their plans to team up with KY Jelly.

-Noah and the Whale is writing a children’s book produced by Wes Anderson.

-Phoenix is in the studio recording voice-overs for the Muzzy remake.

-The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are sponsoring the production of D.A.R.E.’s “No No No’s,” an instructional pamphlet that warns teens against the dangers of “boozing and loozing.”

-Animal Collective has given the word of approval for Scuffy’s “Optical Illusion Leashes,” mostly to tame rabid fans and PETA members who uniformed about the band’s activities.

-Radiohead is giving everything away for free. No “name your price.” Guitars, Thom Yorke, royalties, you name it — it’s all just free.

-Death Cab for Cutie released an iPhone App that displays “cute puppies,” fearing that their audience gets too “sad” and “emotional” during concerts.

-Neutral Milk Hotel has put out their first new release in over a decade: Neutral Coffee Mate. ZERO calories, baby!!!
