phantogram ice cream signThis made us smile: Bluebird Microcreamery, a small chain of ice cream shops in Seattle, is offering Phantogram ice cream -- er, make that "PhantoGRAHAM cracker ice cream with a Dark Tunnel of Chocolate." Phantogram was in Seattle to play the Capitol Hill Block Party festival, which also included Neko Case. After a stop in St. Louis in August, Josh and Sarah are touring in Europe this November. Oh, and they've been collaborating with Big Boi -- because he heard them in a commercial, Shazam'ed the song, and contacted them via Twitter. [Culture Mob] [Seattle Weekly] [SPIN]
