Ok, so I am kind of in love with this little pitchfork channel starring the slightly outrageous Tim Harrington from Les Savy Fav. It's called Beardo, and it's (mostly) freaking hilarious. My favorite episode is actually "Ghost Writer," because I have a really dark sense of humor... But I posted the most recent episode because it's a song, because it is appropriate for this time of year, and

[01-31-2009] "If only we could get this many people to show up for youth group tomorrow," lamented Les Savy Fav front man Tim Harrington upon taking the stage. Epiphany Episcopal Church was an unorthodox but inspired venue for the merry punk pranksters: when cleared of pews, the worship space provided ample room for fans to gather by the hundreds, had a high-arched ceiling that made for great a...

And that's just what happened this weekend at the glorious Epiphany Church .The venue is quite remarkab...

They are a recent band who have captured my heart and I love them dearly. I was so excited to be going to see ...
