NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert: The Heligoats
Loading...
Uploaded by nprmusic on Jan 13, 2011
The Heligoats' Chris Otepka is the star of NPR Music's 100th Tiny Desk Concert. In many ways, he's the perfect act to mark that milestone: His music is best heard in an intimate setting, where his words can unfurl clearly and he can hold a small room rapt -- which he does here, to say the least.
Set List:
"Goodness Gracious"
"I'm Pretty Sure I Can See Molecules"
"A Guide to the Outdoors"
"Fish Sticks"

Yeah... someone disliked this? That is just absurd.

whoever disliked this is a fool. chris is one of the nicest people you could ever hope to know and a magician of words. a true pioneer of the english language set to music. :-)

Very beautiful !

Is there any truth to the Carl Beekman story? Feel like an idiot asking, but I just love that story.

@broman2255 It's just a crappy mini-Martin (LXM model) which just goes to show you, it's the vocals and lyrics that ultimately matter - not some $10K guitar. They all have their own voice, no matter the price.
-
anyone know what kind of guitar that is? i really like the size. great vid btw.
-
I think he's totally sexy!

The Heligoats "Fishsticks"by erikavalenciana10,324 views
chris otepka, as if you hadn't won me over already ... you had to go and get your guitar strap stuck on the back of your head. really? is there anything more perfectly, awkwardly precious?

this guy is obviously shy, a little uncomfortable, and completely weird...in an absolutely likable way. He's that silly witty friend everyone wishes would move in next door. Hilarious!
