Beirut: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Beirut arrived at the NPR Music offices dusty and exhausted following a weekend at Bonnaroo in Tennessee. But after some much-needed showers, the band brought infectious joy to its short set behind the Tiny Desk.

Set List:
"East Harlem"
"Sante Fe"
"Serbian Cocek"

Beastie Boys and Bigfoot

 May 04, 2012

In 2008, Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch (who died May 4, 2012) and former THINKFilm executive David Fenkel founded Oscilloscope Laboratories, an independent film production and distribution company.

In 2009, Oscilloscope released Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie. The movie is not about Bigfoot, but is a documentary about the lives and friendship of two Bigfoot hunters from Portsmouth, Ohio. I composed and recorded much of the soundtrack, taught myself banjo specifically for the movie, and even got listed on IMDB! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2939813/

Here is the trailer...
