Over the past few months, Eric Wareheim has changed the face of music videos. Literally. He put music videos into Photoshop, and he melted their faces with the Melty Tool. He has also changed the butt of music videos, using the same technique. Obviously, he’s doing important work. But now we have a new music video for The Avett Brothers, directed by Jody Hill (Eastbound and Down, The Foot Fist Way, Observe and Report) starring comedy’s own Andy Daly, and suddenly it’s like, HOLD ON A SECOND, there is a new guy who is directing great music videos in music video town. The best part is that this town IS big enough for the both of them, and these guys don’t have to compete with each other or be enemies or murder each other in the street at all. Friendship!
ORDER NOOOOWWWWWWW!

I can’t wait to make some friends either.
one day.
one day.
There’s a right way to make friends and a wrong way to make friends (prison). Give it time and stay in school. Trust me.
Hey! I’m in North Carolina! I got shouted out!
I am in also North Carolina very much!
I feel like I’m watching a Jason Sudeikis* skit on SNL (a good one), especially in the first minute. Good stuff.
*or Bill Hader, if you prefer.
Definitely Sudeikis because of that crazy, constant guffawing the host does.
When he does the air guitar bit and asks “Who am I?” and then follows it up with “I don’t know” I got flashes of Suds-as-Blagojevich and Suds-as-one-half-of-Jon-Bovi.
Between this song and ‘I And Love And You’ I think I’ve found a reason to go out and spend some money! Starting to really like these guys. #stereogumonvideogum
Stereogum is too cool for The Avett Brothers. Too bad, this album makes me
also, aren’t the avett brothers wonderful? i and love and you: definitely one of my favorite albums this year!
Yes, I love those dudes. They were also great on Conan; clearly Conan thought so. Just tried to find the video on youtube and couldn’t. Darnit.
Who the fuck is this guy?
That’s Joe Kwon, the Bros. touring cellist.
Is is too late change my indie rock crush vote? I have a thing for Asian cowbell players.
Andy Daly is one of the greatest. From his ridiculously optimistic personalities he imbues his characters with on shows such as Eastbound and Down and Reno: 911!, to his extensive work with UCB and ASSSCAT, to his album Nine Sweaters, to his ridiculously awesome moustache game you can play with your television- I fyou want me to watch something, tell me Andy Daly is in it!
Thanks for exposing more people to one of my favorite bands, Gabe.
What’s a vinyl?

What’s a cassette?
Observe and Report is criminally underrated, it just might be a masterpiece.
yes! it needed to be said. badass soundtrack, too.
I think that’s because it was marketed as another man-boy comedy, when really it was not at all. I liked it a lot, though; it was quite disturbing.
November Blue was a good song and then I hadn’t thought about this band until I saw this post.
Oh yeah, wrong gum. This VIDEO kicks ass. TBS.
This video is spectacular! I saw the premier on 120 Minutes last night… No I didn’t.
Once we get to the video, the joke is dead. I like it and all, no Troll-mo, but 2 minutes is a helluva commitment to an intro when we get 3 minutes of song.
OMG I loved it! I wish I had a .gif from that Adam Sandler movie where that big beardy opera singer guy goes “GENIUS, GENIUS, GENIUSSSS!!”
Also, that singer [despite playing the guitar at chest level] lit my eyeballs on fire, in my pants. I’m assuming that’s how sex works.
What a BABE.
Loving the reference to O’dell. The tip just got me. Never gets old.
I’m
because I can’t change my Gummy Awards nominations.
