Attention readers attending the SXSW festival this year/fans of TV chefs with obnoxious accents and giant teeth: “We are also reaching out to offer Battles a slot as one of the five bands in the ‘Feedback’ showcase” supposedly hosted by the Food Network’s own Rachael Ray. “Battles music has long been enjoyed by Rachael and is a staple of her iPod.” Given the blog in question, I suspect Internet prankery at work with this “leaked memo,” but would be happy to be proven wrong, especially given how weird the first 31 days of 2008 have been.
