The February 2013 taping of the “Beginnings” podcast at UCB East (2/5) is set to feature a pretty stellar lineup with musicians Andrew W.K. and Marnie Stern, comedians Opus Moreschi (The Colbert Report) and Chris Gethard, and “special unnameable guest.” $5 reservations are available now.

Besides “Beginnings,” Andrew WK has his Superbowl halftime show at Santos and Skate and Surf.

As for Marnie Stern, she doesn’t have too many dates coming up, but she will release her new album, The Chronicles of Marnia, on March 19 via Kill Rock Stars. The album is her first without drum maniac Zach Hill (who is now occupying his time in Death Grips) and was instead recorded with Kid Millions of Oneida behind the kit. Two of the tracks, “Year of the Glad” and “East Side Glory,” have been revealed from the album, and while they don’t sound as mathy and all over the place as her previous material, they’re just as characteristically weird in their own way. You can listen to both, check out the album art and tracklist, and see a list of upcoming shows below.
