Deacon Does Pufnstuf

More bizarro electronica from Baltimore’s version of Thomas Dolby. Looking like a Bill Murray creation outfitted in Elton John’s Captain America glasses, Deacon, a classically trained composer with a Masters degree in electro-acoustic composition, here performs “Ohio” for Savannah, Georgia’s NBC affiliate WSAV. Notorious for his psychedelic Sid and Marty Krofft-like music videos, this cheesy morning-show TV appearance captures Deacon’s uniquely eccentric musical and personal charisma at its most raw. (Look closely, too, then tell me he’s not soccer star Landon Donovan’s doppelganger.)
