so, anyway, guided by voices just made it onto conan, in a way.

bit: nbc fall 2004 new characters.

character: festus the record show prospector (prospecter?)

action: festus, an old man with a long beard wearing a red plaid shirt and straw hat while holding pickaxe stands in front of a record store shelf. "oohh, heheheee!" he laughs. "i'm gonna find me some out-of-print superchunk lp's and some guided by voices side projects...ooh, heheheee!"

a suave service representative comes up. "may i help you?" he says.

"stay away from my loot!" festus yells, before maiming the man with his pickaxe.

woof.
