A few days ago, we discovered Groupie Dirt. Noticing it hadn’t been updated in quite a few years, Noisey decided to contact our more scurrilous acquaintances to get the scoop on bedding some of today’s buzziest bands.
Ben GibbardThe newly-single Death Cab For Cutie frontman hasn’t wasted any time in getting back into the dating scene. In fact, from what we hear, he never let his marriage to one New Girl stop him from dipping his mic into any stand that would hold it. Apparently, while Zooey was at home knitting, wearing cotton, and talking to Siri, Mr. Gibbard was out chasing tail. Blondes are his choice; think Pam Anderson, pre-reduction surgery. Now double that. One of our sources sent in this note: “The glove compartment/Isn’t accurately named/Because it’s where Ben keeps his Trojan Magnums/Dude loves banging in cars.” Vroom!
Mount Eerie/The MicrophonesField recordings aren’t the only “field” things Phil Elverum is into. Several groupies have also told us he loves the outdoors. By which we mean: he makes loves outdoors (by which we mean: he does sex in fields). While no one’s quite sure why Phil decided to change his name from “Elvrum” to “Elverum,” one source suggests that it’s because he wanted to let ladies know that they’re in for some superfluous length, if you know what we’re getting at! ;-) Mr. Elverum is known for being quite the wordsmith. We hear he regularly sends his flings text messages like, “Do you have any melancholic longing in you? No? Well, do you want some? ;-0” ~pond sounds~ HOWL!
