    I love Aimee Mann for so many reasons. Her music is, obviously, fantastic and she keeps putting out great albums. She’s also very, very funny. Her appearance on “Portlandia” was hilarious and now the video for her track “Labrador:”…well, just watch:

    Aimee Mann – Charmer by Prescription PR

    The CD is out today and she’ll be playing a show at the Wilshire Ebell Theater on October 13.
