Le Scharpling in Yo La Tengo video "Tom Courtenay"

haha! I actually remember the dudez-a-plenty thing... because I loved Conan as the psycho boy-band manager. Especially his screaming hysteria at the end.

Tom, what's the story of ending up in that sketch?  And in the video, for that matter??

I hope it's not creepy for Mr. Scharpling to have stuff like this surface. He should be proud to have been in awesome stuff! Though I will go on record saying that the picture I've seen here of him in the UCB crowd is pretty creepy.

Considering it was posted by his lady friend, I'd say he was probably OK with it.

I'm with you on the UCB crowd shot though.

Is that David Cross as the pink-wigged glam rocker?

Yes. He also appears in this Superchunk video...

Yo La Tengo is big on the self-deprecation. The bad review in 'Ride the Tiger's liner notes, the hateful anti-Semitic letter in the 'Painful' liner notes, the disrespect from the fans that wanted to see the Beatles.

C'mon, Yo La Tengo! People love you!

(I did like the video)

Not to mention the refusal to be archived.

Yeah! What's that about?!  You can only listen to "Murdering the Classics" so much.  I'd love to be able to hear a whole actual show of that stuff.  So it goes.

By the way, "Popular Songs" is wonderful.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

REALLY?

[yesno]

Yep.  And Wurster's on a Squidbillies episode.

Not to mention the duo's authorship of, if not appearance in, some of the stronger Tom Goes To The Mayor episodes.
