TLSOE - 07/10/08 - part 3 - Stephin Merritt and Edgar sing

[PenguinJockey]

I'm guessing Stephin himself voted this down.

[tsimtsum2000]

Stephen Merrit is sooooo cute, especially those eyes of his.

[tsimtsum2000]

bwahahahahaahahah, this is such a hilarious situation, Especially from such a "always depressed" looking guy.

[monettube1]

a sock with blue horns....oh my..

[BethGoth15]

I always laugh at 1:32. He goes little too deep! LOL

[orson198305]

yeah it sounds like a fart :D

[pooppoopplopp]

Thank you for uploading this. Stephin seems to be tuned up a half step, I think on the NPR recording also.

[namesareforrhinoceri]

sheer yay! So cute it boggles the mind.

[BeWaTer99]

This might be the "happiest" interview by Stephin Merritt. :P

[TheDaddyCokes]

I love this song...this is the first time I've seen Stephen Merritt raise (half) a smile. Good to see his sense of humour showing. Keep this up and he might lose his reputation as the most humourless musician on the planet. Thanks for posting!

@TheDaddyCokes if someone thinks that Mr. Merritt is "humorless" they simply don't get him. He has the most wonderful sense of "dark" humor in the music biz currently.

[TheDaddyCokes]

@Lunarwill Agree. I was referring to his reputation..there are many (critics etc) in some circles who consider him distant and "humourless". Not me. I recognize his funny side, and as I said earlier its good to see in this video. I also recognize that with some people, maybe especially Buddhists like Merritt, not smiling a lot doesn't mean you are not funny or enjoy humour. But I wouldnt really care even if he didnt have a sense of humour, I'd still like him for his great music.

@TheDaddyCokes Stephin Merritt is hilarious. But obviously his humor is above you. D:

[TheDaddyCokes]

@senatorgreenday Never said he didnt have a sense of humour. In fact I said its good to see it showing. Merely referred to his "reputation", not my own opinion (which is perhaps similar to yours).

[Landerovitch2]

@TheDaddyCokes Stephin actually has a great sense of humor. Just listen to his lyrics. He's quite dark person though.)

[delightfulcreature]

Merritt is such a good sport. And that tender look he gives the puppet at the end - so much lol.

[hairnetparadise]

lovely!

[pacolli]

the coolest video ever!

[luckybuho]

I need a doctor. I see a guy singing to a sock and I am moving. Snif!
