The new season of Portlandia airs tonight on IFC with an episode partly filmed at last year’s Pickathon festival. (Parts of it also appear to be filmed at Edgefield.) It lampoons music festival culture in general, with an appearance by the Flaming Lips, gags about porta-potties, and Natasha Lyonne dressed in a bunch of feathers. It has some good jokes about using a drone proxy to attend a concert, some bad jokes about man buns, and those weird cartoony sound effects that the show insists on using. Here’s a teaser. You can watch the whole thing tonight, if you want.

If you DON’T want, however, here’s the new video from White Glove, who brought us “Division Street” and now bring us “Fred and Carrie,” from their just-released album A Little Piece of Wood (hear the whole thing over on Bandcamp). They, um, don’t seem to like Portlandia very much, nor do they care for condos and the city’s influx of yuppies. This is childish, but its broad strokes are admittedly pretty amusing.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Thank you White Glove!
