The New Pornographers - Moves (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYyu5vbwvbA#ws)
There is so much awesome packed in this thing!!
Quick and easy to overlook: the Billboard charts around 1:45
-
also 3:05ish
-
Has there ever been a better love letter penned to the Best Show? I think not.
Impressive. And good to see Clive Davis finally get it.
-
"We Won't Forget You" (GG's Son) is the best thing ever, along with Moves bumping Mother 13 from the top of the charts.
Awesome job, Tom!
-
What about WHITE PEOPLE AIN'T SH'T from Superchunk? Only at #7!? That's crazy talk.
-
Pointing out that little detail is just a side note to how GREAT the whole thing is! Too many amazing moments to list them all, but the charts might slip by as you are overwhelmed by the whole thing.
-
My mind was blown at the sight of Kevin Corrigan alone.
I was intrigued by this line from the Expectant Dads credits:
He is currently developing two television programs for Comedy Central, one of which stars Paul F. Tompkins and the other of which stars The Gregory Brothers.
I was aware of the former but not the latter. How exciting!
-
Can't really make out most of the Billboard, but happy to see that MickNickPickMickNick have charted!
-
it's great to see Tom's ideas executed with such a skilled production
hope it blows up ...
-
"Fishtown Stomp" by Kurt Vile

I would be honored to have Kevin Corrigan pull a gun on me. Congratulations, Mike!

Those screenshots make me very, very happy.
I love this video. That is all.

YouTube comment:
2:15 that guy on the left is awesome!!!
KamiCaaze
They're talking about you, Mike.
-
I don't know what to say other than this is incredible and I just wet myself.
-
I'm worried about Mike.
-
Congratulations to all, a perfect music video! I'm not worried about Mike, he seems to be in his element.
-
Genius.
-
I have the biggest smile on my face right now. This was truly brilliant.
-
"Fishtown Stomp" by Kurt Vile
Totally gunna shout this out at a show.
-

That's what's worrying. He took that barrel into his mouth as* a baby would its mother's teat.
*Couldn't stand the "like" I had here, though I know it was more colloquial.
-
I reposted the video on my FB last night, and a mutual friend pointed out that Horatio Sanz as John Collins is perhaps the masterstroke of this whole thing. The funniest thing ever.
-
Is AP Mike playing himself in this? I don't understand.

living years '11 by norse savage
Oh that is so good.
-
Music video of the century.
-
So many people I love in one video. I seriously had a legitimate "Am I dreaming?" moment while watching this.
By the way, where was Therese? Her name is in the credits.
-
By the way, where was Therese? Her name is in the credits.
I believe she is one of the limo assaulters.
Another fantastic video. The best part is being able to watch it over and over and it just gets better every time.
Also, I would like more Expectant Dads.
-

That's what's worrying. He took that barrel into his mouth like a baby would its mother's teat.
Ha! It's so disturbing and so great at the same time.
-
I like John Oliver at the pro-America, anti-Canada rally. Also Ted Leo being the scaredest when Hodgman is yelling at them and the most violent when they kick his ass. Nice touch, that.
I love AP Mike, but I'm behind in the podcast and I really was getting to like Steve and am sad that he didn't last.
-
Watched the video before work at 6:00 A.M. when I was always certain that was too early to laugh. I was wrong.

I think it'll appear on any audition reel he sends to Werner Herzog.
-
I like that just for once, New York is the stand-in for Toronto.
Take that, Toronto! Your reign of filming location bullying is OVER!
-
He looks downright Kinski-esque.

I am going to have to watch this numerous times to catch everything. Great fun. Mike is a breakout star in this thing.
-
Mike doing the "5 fingers of death" throughout the coke table scene is wonderful.
-
it totally warms my heart that this this whole extra layer of inside jokes for FOTs in the video.
like, there's definitely a large portion of comedy fans who don't know the best show or are only partially familiar with it that would get a kick out of the video but who don't understand why mother 13 and micknickpickmicknick or references to cocaine are so funny.
their probably also left scratching their heads at who the hell Mike is and why he's featured so prominently in the video.
it makes me excited to watch any future projects Tom does to see what else from the newbridgeverse he throws in.
-
I was happy for Pout.

Who is Esther Crowe?

Who is that who throws the young Newman's guitar to the ground?
-

I thought I wad the only one who noticed that! ;D That was my favorite part!

Oh, just realized: Its rated R for "brief nudity". I'm gonna say that was probably Mike too.

Woah, kids, check out track number four, "We Won't Forget You (GG's Song)"! Right on! Somebody made a song for GG Allin! I'll remember this whenever I stick a microphone up my butthole and/ or leak butt-goo in public...

Thanks, Jon. Seriously appreciate that.
-
Who is that who throws the young Newman's guitar to the ground?
Looked like a shaved Jon Glaser.
-
The guy who throws young Carl's guitar is Jacob Wolk, nephew of Andy Breckman and a PA on both of our music videos so far. He was not supposed to be in the video but the other actor was a no-show.

I will totally do a mouse pledge for the next marathon if you write and record this. I might also extend this offer to Mike Rutherford, if he's reading.
-
Yeah, I'm dying to hear Living Years '11.
Thanks for posting that, Hatch. And awesome job, everyone involved.

Also in case anyone has missed out on the little "Easter Egg" hidden in the Expectant Dads website, try clicking on the upper left portion of the main page.

Are you kidding? He totally steals that scene.

Who is Esther Crowe?
Does no one know or did you just think I was asking an existential question?

You know what, I googled it before but couldn't find anything because I was spelling it "Crowe".
Thanks.

I interviewed Tom about the video on CBC Radio3 this morning. He talks all about APMike's insane performance. You can listen to it here: http://r3.ca/0D1I (http://r3.ca/0D1I)

That could be the Ted Leo Marathon Challenge. 'If you pledge $X, we will record this.'

Who is the angry, desperate, older 7" buyer?
YES! That guy looks so familiar but I can't place him. (I'm bad at names though).

Pleasantly surprised to find that this was followed by an interview with "Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber."
-

YES! That guy looks so familiar but I can't place him. (I'm bad at that names though).
The young lady beside him looks like the lady who got stomped on at the Rand Paul rally.
-
Two favorite parts:
AP Mike holding his knife like a pencil when they're beating up Hodgeman.
The two one dollar bills in the final shot.
-
The part that makes me laugh the most consistently is John Oliver's scene, especially the part where he's repeatedly thrusting a single finger into the air. I would so make a GIF of it if I knew how.

This makes me want to see everything that was shot, ever.

I've actually been avoiding thinking about Mike giving out notes to the cast because it breaks my heart that I may never get to see footage of it happening.

From the YouTube comments:
"Skinny Horatio Saenz alone would have put this video in the pantheon of the greats... but aged, portly Alladin Sane with a gun in his mouth guarantees it... in chiseled marble."

I thought we were friends, Sarah.

I can't believe I sat in a Pizza Parlor with the star of the New Pornographers' video.

I also like the string of comments about vevo/TNP having the gall to place an ad for Expectant Dads on the video.
-
I thought we were friends, Sarah.
Aw, gee. Still, my feelings could not stand in the way of sharing such treasure with those who may hesitate to swim in the murky waters of YouTube commenting.
The number of dopes who are complaining about the disgrace of an ad for a movie being attached to the video is impressive. But the comments that get me the most are those fussing about the shocking use of "pornographers" in a band's name.
-
Hatch requested this one:

Think of how different the Internet would be if everyone just took at least five more seconds to think over what they plan to type.

Check out the Tweeted rage over the Arcade Fire beating out Eminem.

I think of Todd Barry in the video as "Record Store Ben."

more raw footage for your viewing pleasure
"Moves" Outtake #2 (http://vimeo.com/20046277)

I wonder if any innocent Canadians were walking by as that scene was being shot.
Actually, many of the Canadians I know are brawlers: this could have been the beginning of a riot.
