This is not the first time Carney’s love for GBV has surfaced, though it may be the first time he mistook a senator for one of their members on live TV. Back in March the NY Times wrote:

Mr. Carney is not so silent in another way. He is the lead singer of a band — a hobby and a passion second only to his devotion to the cult band Guided by Voices. As for any tapes of Mr. Carney actually singing, Mr. Attie joked, “The tapes can’t be revealed because Jay is an assistant to the president and they might be used for blackmail.” Anyway, he said, “There are a missing 18 minutes.”
