Ok, this was confusing the hell out of me.

I was checking out the Arrested Development boards, and someone posted that David Cross has a myspace account. Well, sceptic that I am, I checked it out.

www.myspace.com/therealdavidcross (still sceptical)

Now, I was listening to Radiohead at the time, so imagine my surprise when Anthem for a 17 Year Old Girl was playing as well.

David Cross is a BSS fan, that may be the coolest thing ever.

David Cross is some sort of indie rock hero, I'm not really sure why. I mean he's great and all but I lack to see the connection, he was even in the New Pornographers video for "Use It"

Crazy, I mean I knew he hated bad music (His ripping on Scott Stapp rules), but I didn't know he was into indie stuff.

I saw him as more of a, put on some Foghat and light up, type guy.

He was in the new Strokes video as well, but I'm not sure if that counts as good music, I mean I've never been a big fan.

I'm going to see him at ATP. Tobias is the best character (apart from Gob) in Arrested Development, and I'm really looking forward to seeing his stand up.

Man...if you think you're getting Tobias with David Cross's stand up, you'll be disapointted. He's very smart, very politcal, very non-pc. He's a fucking riot no doubt, but he's nothing like Tobias.

FYI, Tobias > Barry Zuckercorn > Franklin > Gob IMO.

Or you can check out Shut Up You Fucking Baby or It's Not Funny, his two stand-up albums on Sub Pop.

I read in Magnet that he's actually friends with some of the members of the band. They even revealed a part in the article where he was badmouthing Neko Case to Carl Newman, which was amusing.
