The New York Times tracked down Perrin Kaplan to talk to her about the mouthy K.K. Slider. Kaplan assures everyone that Animal Crossing's K.K. Slider does not have an anti-music industry agenda. "People can read a lot into a little," Kaplan said, "but musician K.K. Slider — a guitar-playing cartoon dog — is saying only that he's a free spirit who cannot be bought and sold for any amount of money." He's like Neil Young, I guess.
