Canadians are funny. Period.
In the vein of “the rise to the top of a rock star/rock band” videos like Tom Petty’s “Into the Great Wide Open” comes the star-studded video for Canuck supergroup New Pornographers’ latest single “Moves”.
Even if Horatio Sanz wasn’t completely unrecognizable by virtue of having lost 7,000 pounds since his “Saturday Night Live” days, you’d be hard-pressed to find him here. Even harder to find? Ted Leo in drag.
This video, which I discovered thanks partially to Louie over at The Frontloader has renewed my interest in the Pornographers’ latest album, Together.

The video was directed by Tom Scharpling, the host of the awesome Best Show On WFMU. Many of the people in the video (Ted Leo, Julie Klausner, John Hodgman and especially Jon Wurster) are regular guests on his show.
