Attention Les Savy Fav fans, Pitchfork TV has just launched the first episode of singer Tim Harrington’s Beardo! The idea began when Pitchfork filmed Tim at this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival, as he hammed it up for the crowd with $2 haircuts and deep tissue massages.
Tim explains of the episodic Web show: “I’ve been called ‘Beardo’ since I was ten. Life-size people, little kids sometimes call me ‘Beardo.’ ‘Weirdo-Beardo.’ Some of [the episodes] are just me messing around with people, and other ones are great little short movies.” Three episodes have already been completed and more will follow. The first episode features Kristen Schaal of Flight of the Concords and involves a supernatural blind date.
As for future episodes, Tim says: “I’m trying to get some political episodes going. I’m working on one about legal male abortion, another one about a provocative sex education book. We’re looking for someone that knows how to make puppets, for a puppet show episode, but I don’t have a puppeteer yet.” Sounds pretty quirky! You can view the first episode now!
