Nessie & Her Beard are a vanguard pop music group currently active in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their idiosyncratic style reflects a broad spectrum of 20th century influences focused through a deeply personal lens. Sunshine pop, musique concrète, pre-war jazz, and mutant space disco commune with exotic sounds from around the globe to produce an otherworldly audio event. The sonic chaos is reigned in, however, by ringleader and vocalist par excellence Nessie Ness. Whether Her Beard is churning out pure white noise or dreamily reinterpreting hits from yesteryear, Nessie’s distinguished vocalizations are easily recognizable and inviting to even the most conservative music lover.
This page is variously operated by members of Her Beard, Nessie Herself, and their overlords at OCR. Address your correspondence accordingly!
Dave Tarrida - Escape EP is available now on Teleskopik! - coming up is Joe Europe and a fine dance electronica EP to be released on the 28th October 2009.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

About FTM Book Vol. 1 FTM Book Vol 1: A Basic Introduction to Transman Life is an easy-to-understand, yet comprehensive primer on FTM issues such as:
What is an FTM? How do FTMs see themselves? Appearance Stages in Transition Surgeries Available Common Personal Histories Violence Discrimination Health Issues Counseling Relationships Common Legal Issues
We've worked hard to help create definitions that will help you talk about trans issues with others, including terms for body parts unique to the FTM and by naming the stages of transitioning. This book is great for anyone who who is having trouble understanding the lifestyle or choices of a transperson. When we first began dating, we were shocked that there was no one place that Aaron could turn to show me "See, this explains what being an FTM means." We hope that this book will be a good start.
Best of all, when you order FTM Book Vol. 1: A Basic Introduction to Transman Life you can feel good knowing that sales of the book are being used to fund more research to help FTMs and their partners get through the challenges of their lives. This is a great book for youself and for anyone you know who could use a little more understanding. Also, you can help teach others about trans issues by donating copies to your local high schools, colleges, LGBT centers and libraries.
