A shrine for eclectic music

Tim Harrington’s ‘Beardo’ Unleashes The Weird on Pitchfork TV

We have an episode that we?re putting props together for that?s a puppet theatre-style episode. I think really the goal is for the show to always service the narrative ideas by any means necessary. I kinda take some inspiration in my personal life from punk music and I think Beardo can take advantage of that concept. If I have an idea for an episode that might go on in space we don?t have to not do it because we can?t figure out a situation that looks like outer space but we can?by any means necessary?if it turns out that sitting inside a garbage pail qualifies as outer space then so be it. We?re keeping the look and feel episode to episode really being whatever the quickest and most interesting way to get an idea across is the goal we don?t want the aesthetic to be exactly what the audience expects. And since it?s online you don?t have to answer to the rules of TV where things have to make sense. But I don?t want to take advantage?people?s attitude and appetite is broad.

It’s a natural combination for both source genres draw their strength from social marginalization and low-budget populism. But the bands that have made the combination work such as the Violent Femmes and the Old Crow Medicine Show have done so by supplying enough catchy tunes and strong singing to put across the quirkiness and passion. O’Death has the quot;Deliverancequot;-like lyrics and the full-on oomph of old-timey punk but they don’t add the musical pleasure necessary to sustain attention. A song such as quot;Legs to Sinquot; is all gratuitous pulp-fiction imagery screeching fiddle and tuneless yelping.
