Thanks so much to everyone who watched us on The Chris Gethard Show last week!!!

It was really fun and weird in a good way!

We didn’t get to meet Zach Galifianakis, because he left early and then we were too lazy to get up and hold up some kind of awkward homemade sign at the Today Show when he was on the next morning…

BUT we did meet some truly amazing characters from some sort of Italian American talkshow that was using the studio before us, and we learned a lot about public access television. Mostly that it is beautiful and we hope to be back very soon. 

Here’s the video! (If you wanna watch our parts first, they’re at about 19:30 and 43:30, but you should watch the whole thing. Especially the hula hoop lady)

So much time I’ve wasted! I feel like such a fool.

Recorded some ditties and answered some questions at WNYE 91.5fm today w/ the lovely Andrea Monorchio! It’ll air at some point in the future!

Girls Get Busy’s Song of the Week: WOJCIK - Wise Blood

WOJCIK is the project of singer/guitarist Hailey Wojcik, accompanied by other musicians on drums, strings, & field recordings. My Old Kentucky Blog says it “sounds mighty fine at volumes that may disturb others who may be in the room with you.” Her debut LP, Wise Blood, was released in September 2012.

I <3 Girls Get Busy! And my song Wise Blood is their song of the week—huzzah!
