The New Pornographers have just released the video for their pop anthem "Use It" (watch the video in Windows Media or Real Player), which appears on their latest album Twin Cinema. If watch closely, you may notice Carl Newman (the band's red-headed frontman) sports a WFMU t-shirt (designed by Chris Ware; also seen on Blaine Thurier in the photo to the left) for part of the head-bobbing sing-along. Playing supporting roles to our t-shirt are comedian/actor David Cross and Canadian rocker Nardwuar.
If you missed it, the New Pornographers recently performed live on WFMU during Brian Turner's show: you can listen to the archive right here (real player) or download a video clip of the band's performance (avi file, 44 MB).
The Kaz FMU t-shirt appears in Devo's 1989 video for the song "Disco Dancer" worn by...a disco dancer.

A promo for an entertainment show here in Canada with a pornographers interview plays part of the video featuring a quick glance of the shirt several times a day. You would have to know the shirt, but it's still strange to see it.
