There's bound to be more clips surfacing from Fucked Up's free 12-hour show at the Rogan Store (330 Bowery, NYC) yesterday (10/14), but seems like video of the Toronto-based bathroom re-designers doing a cover of "Blitzkrieg Bop" with Moby on guest guitar/vocals is as good a place as any to start. (Other guests included J. Mascis, Vivian Girls, Ezra Koenig, etc. Akon didn't show, ha ha.)

Anyhow, Moby looks like he's having fun.

In our feature on Fucked Up’s fourth album, vocalist Damian Abraham shed some light on the thought process behind Glass Boys: “It’s about being in a ’subversive’ young people band and waking up twelve years later and being like, ’We’re not young people any more. Where do we fit now? It’s about recognizing that the...
