After last year’s Ted Leo hilarious music video for “Bottled in Cork“, comes a new extravagant roller coaster ride courtesy of the same director Tom Scharpling, this time for The New Pornographers latest single “Moves”. The video, disguised as a fake trailer for expectantdadsmovie.com “staring” Paul Rudd and Bill Hader, follows the rise to fame of one of Canada’s most appreciated artistic imports. Its indeed interesting to see actors portray the band members, and it’s pretty much worth it alone watching Wyatt Cenac (Daily Show correspondat) sprinkle his pizza slice with a oversized dash of cocaine or the aforementioned Ted Leo who does a great job in playing a tranny Kathryn Calder. “Moves” is off the band’s latest full length, “Together“.
