Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
“Bottled In Cork”

The best song on the new Ted Leo album! Video written and directed by Tom Scharpling! Paul F Tompkins! John Hodgman! Julie Klausner! AP Mike! DJ Terre T! My friend Christine!! That guy from Titus Andronicus! Musical theater! Hilarity! Best video of 2010!

If you are very eagle-eyed, you can spot me as well, lurking, there — no, not — yes. There. At the corner of a frame. If you are not eagle-eyed, or even if you are but in addition to being eagle-eyed you prefer to use your imagination, do as I say now. See that shot of Christine, the lady in the green Sin Eaters shirt? See that shot of acclaimed playwright Jason Grote, the gentleman in the leather jacket? Now imagine someone is sitting between them. Someone is. I shan’t tell you who. Okay, it’s me. 

This was a really fun day. I applied eyeliner on the subway and lost an earring while walking to the club; it helped me get into character, as did this. On set we drank Parklifes (Parklives?) until we felt like good actors. Ted Leo played a few tunes for us in between shots. Everyone was super nice! And Christine took some behind-the-scenes photos. So basically everything about this is the best. TAKE A WHISPERING CLASS.

(I want to write something as I don’t really believe in just reblogging, but can’t think of anything more than OHHHH! TED LEO!)
