More musical lookalikes...

Today's musical lookalike feature is a timely homage to Conan O'brien, mostly because I'm copping his 'If They Mated' segment. Today's focus: Hold Steady licksmith Tad Kubler, who doesn't like Radiohead because they have NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE DOING and make music by pushing buttons...BUTTONS! Haha, oh Tad. I imagine he has a nightmare that involes him running through an icy hellscape, similar to this, while this chases him and "Idioteque" plays.

So here's Tad:

Tad, who by all accounts is a super guy, is also more than likely the result of a federally granted gene-splicing project. The Godless progeny of character actor Alan Tudyk, whose expansive credits include Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (Steve the Pirate), Arrested Development, 3:10 to Yuma, et al; and of Hollywood ne'erdowell and smallscreen terrorist thwart-artist Kiefer Sutherland.

Alan + Kiefer

I'd imagine lead singer Craig Finn will be one of our next targets. And Franz Nicolay can't be far off either.
