Seems like I predicted this as a reason why he was neglecting the strip, but I can't find it.  I'm not the court jester.

This is largely preliminary:

Ray: Terrence Howard
Beef: Demetri Martin
Pat: Matthew Fox
Molly: Eve Myles
Teodor: Paul Rudd
The Tenmen: Vampire Weekend

The Tenmen: Vampire Weekend

This sort of makes sense for some reason, although it sparked a question in my mind: Do we know what type of music The Tenmen plays?

Except for Paul Rudd and Terrence Howard, I'm not familiar enough with the other actors to make a call either way. Rudd could work, but can Terrence Howard be weird enough to play Ray? He's always so serious, and not in the same way that Ray takes himself seriously. I can't see him pitching ChatSacks. Also, he's possibly too beautiful.

The "Radio Achewood" page used to have two Tenmen songs available for download, but they're both gone now. I remember listening to them when they were first posted and not liking them. But I don't recall at all what they sounded like.

[theinevitable]

if demitri martin plays beef I will boycott.

i find him occasionally funny, but also resent him.

I see The Tenmen as being more like... The Soft Pack (formerly the Muslims):
covering my favorite Cure song here
and here doing their best original song. the video is kind of horrible.

the sunglasses and matching suits are where I get this from.
although the rickenbackers indicate something a little more jangly.

Vampire Weekend are way too cute and fun and happy. Even though "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" is awesome.

I don't think I know any of those actors, and perhaps mercifully, because if Demetri Martin is that guy with the new show on Comedy Central, I have only seen five minutes of him, but, that is such a bad idea it makes me want to cry. I mean, seriously sit down on the floor and bawl my eyes out.

And Vampire Weekend: I think I listened to a song of theirs lately because I thought that was such a brilliant name for a band, and was disappointed at not liking it at all.

The Tenmen play some kind of music that you can stand perfectly still while you're playing. That is the only thing I am sure of.

[theinevitable]

yeah for real, you are on THIN ICE Toaster.

[jay-ell]

The thing that I am sure of is this:

When Jough said that Kadeem Hardison should play Roast Beef, he spoke the truth that only a genius can speak. 

Amen.

I'm really liking this, although still not what I imagined The Tenmen sounding like. Apparently they shoot each of their LP jackets with a .22 (hopefully before they insert the record). Definitely going to have to pick that up.

For some reason I always imagined The Tenmen as Man or Astro-man. My friend who vaguely reminds me of Beef was a huge fan, so there's that correlation too. But I don't think they're still around? Cort, do you recall if the songs were surf-rocky?

Edit: The dude from The Muslims/Soft Pack video looks like he could have been classmates at Columbia with Vampire Weekend, although probably would have kicked their asses in the hallway after class.

[littlefallsmets]

I always imagined The Tenmen as, like, Cursive with a costume gimmick.

Then again, I always reckoned that that was the whole point of the Tenmen, just vague enough for any reader to project whatever they wanted onto them.

[theinevitable]

the problem is that I think Roast Beef would hate all of these bands.
