Werth & Wurster

Today's we feature a bonus version of Separated at Birth.

After the conclusion of last week's episode of The Best Show on WFMU, fans (called the "Friends of Tom [Scharpling,host]) gathered at a bar near the station for a Gathering of the FoTS where they met the host and that night's guests Ted Leo, and John Hodgman. Also appearing live was one of the show's famous callers Philly Boy Roy, who is actually Jon Wurster, primary drummer for such indie acts as Superchunk, The Mountain Goats, Bob Mould, and touring or session drummer for a whole host of other bands like REM, Rocket from the Crypt, and The New Pornographers.

As you can imagine, Philly Boy Roy is rarely photographed so while checking out a fan's photographic account of the night, I thought it was interesting to see that he looks ironically like Phillies' RF Jayson Werth.

On that note, let's listen to my all-time favorite track from Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.
