So Animal Collective gave away a “strictly limited, rare and exclusive mix cd” to people who pre-ordered their accolade-covered new album Merriweather Post Pavilion from Rough Trade, and the disc included tracks by the likes of Erykah Badu and Grouper. Given that the album in question was patrolled by the Web Sheriff like it was made of solid gold, I have to assume that someone went to great pains to clear the distribution of every track?
