Dan Deacon - Interview/Ohio live on NBC

[niksga]

and uhh....and uhh.....and uhh....looney tunes at 11

[editeDBrown]

....I actually love the corrupted track :P

[TheObi11111]

were talkin paper forks now!

[MangoCyclopse]

fuck

[MrWowforever]

This is why I'm breathing.

[MrWowforever]

This is why I'm alive. Thank you!

[StiffyTheBand]

what the fuck

[SwineFluInCompany]

THAT WAS FREAKInAWESOME

[danielzinke]

I love the looping Audio, It's just so damn appropriate.

[t0rment2004]

The audio is so weird on this. If you didn't do it on purpose, congratulations on your accidental YouTube Poop. :P

[gabrielapetrie]

That older gent was showing a lot of class and wisdom putting him up on the show. From what I hear the other people working there from the techs to the anchors were peeved at the performance. You can tell the old guy knew it'd build them character.

[norxcontacts]

You really fukked up the audio.

[SCBianchi]

I really really like how he talks about his equipment. I also like how the interviewer busted out with an 'ubsurdist composer'...he actually seemed genuinely INTRESTED if nothing else!

[rcvesco]

Robin Williams on mollies....fabulous.

[whitebelt23]

I guess I sar a light when I said it's not that bad .

[detharmy666]

@whitebelt23 i believe you mean, "i guess i sort of lied when i said its not that bad"

its a simple mistake, and it wasnt hurting anyone, i just thought you should know

[heybuckaroo22]

Oh my god, he's so great live! It's one giant dance party. Go Dan Deacon!

[facenuggetz14]

n00b here, is there a recording of the song he plays...and if so what's it called? i get it stuck in my head all the time...

[Skoodge80]

@facenuggetz14 the song is called "ohio", google "twacky cats mediafire"

its not on itunes, but the first google result should work

[facenuggetz14]

@Skoodge80 oh sweet! that's one of the albums i didn't get, which makes it make sense that i don't have it. i only have spiderman of the rings, bromst, and acorn master. time to go get twacky cats! :D (also, i like your name if it's in reference to zim).

[Skoodge80]

@facenuggetz14 hahaha yeah it is

by the way he has all of his old albums except twacky cats for free on his website, theres an "mp3" button at the bottom

its all really weird experimental stuff that a lot of people dont like but i think some of it is really great

[ConspiracyZone]

2 words: FUCKING AWESOME

[snatchsutton]

This guy is fucking awesome!

[trollturd]

why does this have good ratings?

[VGhita]

Very glad this idiot's 15 minutes have been used up.

[eddie23a]

LOL how wrong you are, he plays sell out gigs all over the world.

[LDoyle6193]

Dan is Jesus!

[jts2398]

@eddie23a Just proves how pathetic people are when it comes to art of any type.

[madskrillz2]

@eddie23a Lol there's also a shitload of people on drugs all over the world and they all must go to his shows

[anarchy123212]

@VGhita i'm actually going to one of his shows tomorrow. hahaha

[SaneLunacy]

@VGhita Haha, fail.

[seaniesharko]

@VGhita you're and idiot.

[VGhita]

@seaniesharko it's "you're 'an" idiot, idiot. But thanks for playing...

[me25422]

@VGhita dont u ever!

[JPMartin5]

HILARIOUS!!! I think its great that an everyday local new program gave him the air time to do that entire thing... I mean, imagine the looks on the faces of the picket fence families sitting in front of their tvs... just... great.

[GregNavster]

did he say paper fucks on tv

[irrelevanttelevision]

paper forks

[itsmonicaaah]

His fly was totally open.

Ohhhh dan

rofl

[4meansduck]

Dan is so awesome, genius, and talented. I wish he was my boyfriend....

[DouglasStewartVO]

He has E-volved from Devo

[NEROGODDAMNIT]

And we'll beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeee talkin' to Lee.

[klx134sm]

3:49 JELLYFISH!!

[JoeCuff]

Please remove the uncorrupted. Thanks !

[pyromen321]

This guy is a genious.

[DaveBonds]

Dan's human disguise is not fooling me.

He gives us hope from the outer reaches of our universe, through the path of dumpster dive computers.

There are no other words to describe my enthusiasm.

[dudemanspence123]

oh my god this guy is awesome!!!!!

[Konner]

It's really cool to see a local news station showcasing such an oddball artist.

[brock786]

haha love this guy just heard about him. reminds me of zappa if he was a short kinda chubby (nowadays) white guy

[BBMeventually]

When was this interview?

[APLAPLAX]

G E A N I O U S

[hardlux]

His fly is open.

[UsefulChamber]

I should watch the morning news more often!

[crackerjohnnybravo42]

HA! he kinda drew back when he said he found it in the garbage... nice

[pearlthirteen]

motherfucker!!! this shit hurt my ear!!!

[bluearchon2002]

i agree man

[graverubber]

best interview ever

[sirinferno]

guys add &fmt=18 and it'll be fine

[eddie23a]

so it does, thanks

what's going on here then, some sort of format error?

[sirinferno]

fmt=18 uses a different backend video file, so clearly the ordinary one is just screwed up

[GratefuLSD]

thanks for the tip!!!

[gabrielgabriel2000]

&fmt=18 fixed the problem!

[diskochimp]

Am lovin' the Kid606 remix...

[coglegTHEpirateOFNUL]

I think you've done this on purpose just to piss us off.

reupload the original plz

[eddie23a]

read the caption at the start

[theshantanator]

@eddie23a

ya it just takes u to start of the same video?

[cockroachbalogna]

@eddie23a doesnt help lol.



[eddie23a]

@cockroachbalogna appears to be completely knackered now, oh well. It's kind of appropriate being all screwed up.

[gdougey44]

YEAH, this video is the shit like this

[mrbean022387]

LMFAO. I think its better like this

[tohuvohu2]

the vid was fuked with on purpose people do that all the time on here

[eddie23a]

It wasn't fucked up by me, it was fine when I uploaded it 2 years ago, it's a youtube glitch, only started doing this recently

[princeparise]

It was probably Dan Deacon in all seriousness.

[sail247]

i have the file, i'll upload it right now check it out

[eliotdangerflash]

This was the best video on youtube, it must be fixed. Do you not have the file anymore to reupload?

[1MoMurda1]

Do us all a favor and remove this crap video thanks

[ostimeg]

this was useless

[mamatis]

This is annoying as hell...and not the good kind of annoying.

Give me Negativland.

[EFK76]

i recently saw negativland & dan deacon perform together with many others in TN.

[eddie23a]

you getting audio weirdness, looping delay and white noise? It shouldn't be doing that, seems to be a bug in the system

[buffalohsoljah]

is anyone else having problems with the audio? some kinda delay/ reverb action?

[eddie23a]

yes I see what you mean, that's weird, it never used to do that !

[echeesekid]

dan said that that guy introducing him there was the only guy that wasn't really pissed off at him for the show

[clubzen]

lol this is ridiculous. His new album Bromst is incredible though...

[JackOfSpades93]

this guy is so freaking awesome.

i saw this clip from lynchland, and he, like liam lynch said, blew my ass off.

[JettHead82]

Fly. Open!!!

hahahahaha

balding.

[markandjohanna]

His performance on this does nothing for me. Like he's said before, it's all about the feeling of the space and audience, and this is so sterile. However, normally he's excellent. Dan, no more live to airs!

[datfunk]

savannah, GA? i might just move there b/c they're AIRING THIS GENIUS! been trying to find this guys name since 07. im ALL about finding true raw music thru the minds of children. my kiddos come up w stuff on the fly that boggles the mind, DD captures it masterfully

[toohxcforlife]

Savannah is a great place if you like to get drunk and listen to racists bitch about the "Meskins" and "neegras"

[whitaj28]

i like how his fly is unzipped

[nolanpotter1]

nice.

[particleplease]

i actually saw this live on my news station like 2 years ago. savannah news is BS anyway.

[jackdleahy]

In my opinion, which is a very tasteful one, this is the best video on Youtube right now. From the local interviewer's subtle and awkward/forced laughs and questions and how he is just trying to look good during an interview and not as much about the actual guy he's talking to, to (obviously) Dan Deacon's weirdness. Dangerflash put it perfectly: pure gold. Apologies for the awkward run on sentences.

[eliotdangerflash]

Pure gold. The best part is that the local time is 5:30-6:00am on the clock in the corner. Those poor random viewers.

This also reminds me of the video of Ween on the Jane Pratt show from 1993.

[eddie23a]

forget Springsteen, they should have had Dan play at Obama's inauguration :)

[SitYourAssDown]

hahahhahaha, am i the only one who noticed that his fly is all the way down, this and many other reasons is why dan deacon is presumably..............AMAZIN­G

[brendanrivers]

2:36 watch the hands

[timthanks4]

Dan Deacon is a revelation to humanity as we know it.

[jaeshim1]

true one-man band

[trane1959]

AWESOME CHANNEL 59 COVER BAND!!!

[doody1414]

weird as shit, but its awesome.

[freeskivtt]

2:36 watch the hands! i love this guy to death.

[Sedanstotina]

Thank you man! I´m listening to this over a year and I still like it as much as I did at beginning. I love it!

[USsoldier75]

:) Thanks

im mad nT

[Hooklineansinker]

i like when he starts doing that thing with his fingers at the begining of the song

[meggadoomer]

did they mind him in the loony bin

[mclarenv12]

Anyone notice his fly is open?

[sirbardcat]

bright sunshine. grab the jackets.

[schnav]

this nothing beyond gimmicky. too bad, he has a ton of talent, just has no idea what to do with it. irony and cleverness only take you so far.

[imthepb]

one of your favorite youtube videos is "huge breasts jiggle"

[joet88]

it's not really ironic/clever though. It's just genuinely absurd. In an awesome way. Like Harpo Marx.

[deceptikub]

he knows exactly what to do with his talent. he's doing it RIGHT NOW!

[angellameangel]

beutiful beast wonderful old guy haha sikkk =]

[airbagsavedme]

Do they cut him off? He seems to be just getting his flow, and i know the song is longer. Check out the way the announcer chuckles when he cuts in.

[drumbotic808]

I think this might be mislabeled. Isn't WSAV NBC in Savannah, Ga.?

Either way, it's one of the most awesome videos I've seen in quite sometime.

[eddie23a]

Ohio is the name of the song

[bensterism]

if you want to know where he was performing google "The Mao Space 117 W. Gaston Street"

[partypeoplediedie]

This man is superior to everyone.

[bigman1225]

Awesome, can you imagine your parents watching this not knowing who this guy was and seeing him for the first time?

[sukisuzuki]

too cool

[bankyandbrodie]

worship dan deacon!

[yarnlaserr]

i wonder what the everyday ohio citizen was thinking when they sat around in their livingrooms watching this

[Vocalities]

Why can't I stop watching this?

[cacogoyld]

i made me the same question...

[amazingmrmuffin]

well...i'd a perked right up if i saw that in the morning...kudos!

[lwimsett]

Dan Deacon is God's male secretary

[sapphirerose666]

he's a good guy, hard working

[chaffel3]

lol @ dan deacon skinny

[GenineTheGreat]

Watching this makes me happy...I love how he sorta dancesaround while he's doing it, he looks like he's really having fun.

[racerx124]

"..yeah I found that in the garbage"

[Candie567]

your fly is down!

[DangerousButTasty]

We're talking paper forks now!

We're talking bacon cuts now!

We're talking turkey, talking turkey walking

Every walk now!

We're talking 16 ska bands!

We're talking 19 ska bands!!!

We're talking rudie suits, and rudie flutes

And hooty flutes do!

[shiftymonster]

this video does something to me that is beyond the norm

[irrelevanttelevision]

Indeed! it had rather a strange effect on me too.

Dan Deacon for president

[Manseb]

I just saw him an hour ago in Adelaide, Australia. Crazy show. Kinda fun.

I think his fly is undone in the above video. Maybe.

[BojanglesUdon]

Some of the sounds he got from that equipment remind me of the Max Headroom pirating incident, and that's an awesome thing to be reminded of.

[HoboSheriff]

that interviewer was actually really nice

[Necrotide]

What was with him pointing out how old the equipment was?

[cheesefrog99]

This is from a Georgia TV station, not Ohio.

[evanjmyers]

the song is named ohio...

[tripplethrendo]

this video is so fly

!!!

[whitefro024]

that shit is money!

[mankaloo]

Is Dan's zipper unzipped??

[mchenrysk8]

always.

[mankaloo]

really, mine too. i don't know why but it's a bad habit, I don't feel alone anymore. GO DAN DEACON.

[ThennyDlux]

those news dude were probably all like "WTF"

dan deacon rules

[PanFriedSuzy]

wiki people, it is georgia

[xrxevilxox]

actually, looked it up, Its savannah georgia

[candyflippedaround]

looks like a herb in that outfit

[brokenflashlight]

yeah this was an actually good interview. he asked good questions without being condescending.

[gregoryy2k]

He asked good questions

[shatminer]

GOLD

[lorcan1989]

what song is this and what album is it off?

[eddie23a]

It's called Ohio on Twacky Cats, it's a free download on Comfort Stand Recordings, google it, should come top search.

[cj4cy]

this is great

makes me smile

[rexswindoll]

does anyone know when this was recorded?

[incuvana]

where was this?

[pussycruncher69]

Looks like it's in New York.

[xrxevilxox]

its maryland

[kieranedling]

how can you tell.

[newpagesdenise]

The best part is the fact that his zipper is - or at least looks - undone. Nice.

[dallen8]

Never underestimate the humor behind just weirding people the fuck out

[hypercatjohn]

its a powerful method, andy kaufman brought it to the masses i reckon, and so few people got him, he ended up being hated haha :)

[JoeThePsycoRobot]

thats awesome

[DrewAkers]

no1 has commented on the .. crucial Awesome Video Effect Circle Shot!!

Local News needs more silly video effects, imo.

[JUANTIKI73]

Fearless Insane Genius

[SargentCLEW]

How did it happen??? mass amounts of psychadelic drugs

[NOMIND101]

Dude... Watch his face and manerisms the second time he goes into "I guess I sorta lied..." Like after the "We're talkin' paper forks now, we're talkin' bacon cuts now..." breakdown. Particularly when he says "...that cat" for the second time... WTF?!?! LOL!!!

[PwnStarr]

Yes, goofiness aside, Dan is a brilliant musician^^

[andrewfields]

it's funny that he's like "it'll start in 1 second" and the news guys all like "1-2-uigh!"

[NOMIND101]

1,2-uigh!

LOL!! Yeah, I get a kick out of that everytime I watch this clip.

[Fluxuate]

the very first time i saw this video, i thought he was retarded... I couldnt tell if he was serious about the six year olds

[bffive23]

i went to college with him, and i would be shocked to find out that he was a republican. he was a studio comp major i believe and heavily involved in student government

[TimeBandits]

Dan Deacon heals.

[pesto8134]

BEST

[exactspace]

great footage, thanks for posting this

[MatthewStoneWOWOW]

He is playing at DURRR tonight in London

[cricketsoda]

Are YOU retarded?

This guy = kicksyourfuckingassyourepublic­anshittree.

[s7rugg1e]

Dan Deacon is a Republican you dolt. He posts regularly on Freerepublic. com

I thought this sounded a little weird, so I did some research. According to one interview, "There is a guy on an opinion message boa
