Puppets

It' s Monday and life is beautiful in LA, except for one thing. It IS Monday. No bother despite my allergies I am having a nice morning that just got even better. Yawn, take a stretch, sip on your coffee and tea and then listen to this song. This has to be one of the most soothing lovelorn, musically gifted bands out right now. Enjoy a little mellow morning music.The Last Shadow Puppets, "Standing

The entire cast of Fraggle Rock gets a special place in the outhouse - the corner with a little bit of sunlight shining in only because it brought joy to me as a child, but as an adult, this is just plain freaky.

As I look for interesting things to put on my blog, I found this juicy little morsel that got me laughing and enjoying the song that I did find annoying at one point. The “Ehh’s” are what I got tired of quickly, but seeing the cool gorilla and the sun sing them is refreshing. These “puppets” are [...]

Arctic Monkeys shouter Alex Turner joins with Miles Kane from the Rascals -- no, not those Rascals, but a much younger and more likely bunch of scraggly-topped Brit rockers -- and the result is The Age of The Understatement, the first output from their collabo as Last Shadow Puppets.

Who will win the final battle? There are some weird theories floating around the Internet, but one in particular grabbed my interest. It seems to have started at Cassiopia.org and boils down to this: There are two races of people who have been sharing space on the earth for a really long time. Their origins are kind [...]

I found this while searching for something bouncy and upbeat on Youtube, and liked it so much I had to add it to our blog. It's a band called The Last Shadow Puppets and they are mad good! At first when I saw this video I thought I was looking at a younger version of The Beatles, but Miles Kane and Alex Turner definitely have their own sound and style.  The Last Shadow Puppets are lyrical, sweet and a little sad in this video. Here is their song, "My Mistakes Were Made For You". Enjoy it and sigh deeply. It's super dreamy....

“So, das hier macht Alex Turner also, wenn er nicht für Arctic Monkeys singt? Klingt das nicht ein bißchen wie Adam Ant singt Ennio Morricone?”, dachte ich noch bei mir, als “The Age Of The Understatement” zum zweiten Mal los galoppierte. Und auch beim dritten Durchhören des ziemlich angestrengten “Standing Next To Me” weiss [...]

Imagine your surprise if you're confronted by THIS at the supermarket cashier~!!That's right, folks... shoppers at Emporium were treated to a Thai puppet dance for Songkran~!!The unique thing about these puppets is that each requires THREE puppeteers for it to come alive, and the puppeteers also mimic the puppet's actions:- the left puppeteer controls the puppet's left hand and head- the middle puppeteer control's the puppet's feet- the right puppeteer controls the puppet's right handCalled hun lakhon lek in Thai, this dying art form was popularized by Joe Louis (Thai name: Sakorn Yangkhiawsod), who was also one of Thailand's top puppet masters and last "Grand Master" of small puppet performers.More info HERE~!! no strings attached~!!streetsmartsukhumvit@gmail.com sukhumvit bangkok thai

If you're in Jakarta, try to find the traditional event of Betawi. Betawi is the descendants of the people living around Jakarta from around 17th century.They have their own culture and also language, different from Javanese language or Sunda language.Almost every event that held by Betawi's people, they had a giant puppet (usually one as man puppet and one as women puppet) called "Ondel-Ondel". In marriage ceremonies or at the party of Jakarta's anniversary or en event like Jakarta Fair and similar other fairs, you will find Ondel-Ondel. This giant puppets will dance along the traditional music like Tanjidor. Size of the puppets...? Well, they're about 2.5m tall.Children love them. Some scare of them, like my daughter :).Picture of Ondel-Ondel taken from: WikipediaRelated links:Another Wi

Como ya muchos saben siempre estamos muy atentos a lo que sucede con la música de Suecia y la música que hoy les dejamos pertenece a éste país de extendidos movimientos Indies. Las melodias de Sad Day For Puppets son muy inherentes al indie como genero melódico y hasta de ritmos de guitarras alegres propias del indie tildado musicalmente como tal.

The symbolic power of the physiques that you are used in magic, is a well-known fact from the antiquity. The appearance of images benefactors, magic or powerful help to conform an energy better environment, while the invocation to these entities favors the concretion of the personal objectives. But the physiques complete, also, a commission protector, by means of which withdraw the malas influences, counteracts the damages that can arrive of the environment and they reduce the impact of the accidental events. The srcilla is a noble material that allow to make protective puppets at home for the ends that are wanted. You follow this general prescription and then, grant you the form that you need for your particular amulet.To make them, you are not necessary that you are a true artist. That t

You ever get in one of those moods where you just want to post pics of hot celebrities on your awesome blog all day? If you couldn't tell by the Jennifer Aniston and Erika Eleniak (I think?) posts, I'm in one of those moods.

Dr. Seuss Horton Hand Puppet There's room in any child's bedroom for a few more plush toys or hand puppets for days when an indoor puppet show is better than parking them in front of the tube watching another movie; unless it's a trailer for Horton Hears a Who of course. Playing with plush toys and hand puppets while making up their own stories is a much better way for kids to develop their own creative entertainment and who knows, you might have the next generation's Dr. Seuss under your own roof. When I was a kid we had a corner in our play room where we had a cardboard box that mom had us to paint and decorate as a home theater. We used dish towels for the stage curtain and had a blast painting our makeshift picture show in wild colors and sticking glitter on it with big globs of

Siempre que digo “qué master” (terraja la piba) pienso “master of puppets”. Y, como me acabo de despertar, eso queda de título -aunque seguramente haya otro post con ese título already-. Me desperté con la grata noticia de que en google pusieron etiquetas de colores. Mi sugerencia era hacer estrellitas de colores, para poder marcar con diferentes prioridades o importancias (”muchas importancias”, estoy recontra dormida) las conversaciones, pero, de todas formas, etiquetas de colores me gusta y ya pinturrajeé todo la casilla con cartelitos coloridos. Yay. En realidad me da alegría algo así, considerando que ayer pasé todo el día peleando con las cosas del proyecto porque me pasaron por arriba a mi código y tuve que estar arreglando cosas que ya estaban arregladas hacía siglos. Y me recontra embola que todo el mundo se lave las manos y no poder quejarme porque en realidad “la culpa es del repositorio”, cuando no es así. Lo que

I think I get my sense of humor from my mother. This is not to say that my father isn’t funny because he is, but in more of a “I consistently mistake actors for other actors who look almost exactly alike” (see Bill Pullman and Jeff Daniels or Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski) or “I’ll turn off all the lights in the house while you’re mother is out with her friends and scare the ever-loving bejesus out of you with a plastic skull mask.” Nana though was a natural vaudevillian entertainer for us growing up complete with musical numbers, dancing, magic, and some stand-up comedy (mom always worked blue) but the best part of the Mom Show growing up were the hand puppet shows she would put on for us before we went to bed. These weren’t just single character, free-form, off-the-cuff pleasantries with an audience who was already up well past its bedtime. No, these were epic productions with costume changes, a myriad of voices, accents, songs and a cast of thousands. These were pe

This dude is great, I mean GREAT! I just love piano versions of classic metal songs and this one is almost on the top of my list. This guy is damn good with his piano and he just plays Metallica so well. I would like to get a CD full of piano versions of classic metal songs, played by some pro pianist. Is there any?

By: Marina Neiman All of us as children played with them, whether is be sock puppets, hand puppets, or wooden puppets. They have been around for quite some time, centuries even. The most popular of the puppets are marionette string puppets. Children love to play with their life-like forms and are able to use their imagination extensively. Even adults have been known to enjoy marionette style puppets. When you walk down the street, many times you see entertainers with string puppets acting out scenes, dancing or singing. A lot of times, crowds form around and even pay the entertainer. You might have found yourself lingering around to see the end of the act. Schools also utilize puppets to educate children about different things. Maybe when you were growing up, you can remember seeing a few in the cafeteria or auditorium. Many of the string puppet acts are funny and few children actually know that they’re learning from the play. When you turn on the television, many channels, like PBS,

Finger puppets are always a cure for the summer boredom and these are a fun and novel twist to a traditional craft. Cut the fingers from a rubber glove (I used pinking shears on these to make the zig zag edge) and decorate each with googly eyes, pipe cleaners, feathers, pom poms, sequins, netting, paper, felt and anything else a dashing bug deserves. (We ran out of enough googly eyes so we were forced to make a few cyclopes).The stiff rubber easily fits on little fingers and the colorful surface makes decorating fun.Check in with Rocks in My Dryer every Wednesday for other good tips.Technorati tags: WFMW, crafts, children, summer vacation

Cheryl makes each felt finger puppet by hand, with intricate hand stitching, and each one is a little work of art.Tiny and sweet, they just couldn't be cuter. My personal favorite

Review by Steve Huey @ allmusic.com Even though Master of Puppets didn't take as gigantic a leap forward as Ride the Lightning, it was the band's greatest achievement, hailed as a masterpiece by critics far outside heavy metal's core audience. It was also a substantial hit, reaching the Top 30 and selling three million copies despite absolutely nonexistent airplay. Instead of a radical

1988 - a street in Liverpool, the press are waiting. Then a limousine pulls up outside a rather nondescript warehouse and the press photographers start snapping the car's occupants. The occupants are Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. They smile and wave, but they do not get out of the car. They can't, they don't have any legs. They are Spitting Image puppets. Inside the warehouse I have organised an exhibition of television and film puppets and this is a publicity stunt.Although Reagan and Gorbachev were the architects of glasnost, which a year and a bit later led to the Velvet Revolution and the opening of the Czech lands to us westerners, that is not why I consider this to be a beginning. The exhibition contained a huge range of puppets - Sooty, Parker from Thunderbirds, Postman Pat, Cosgrove Hall's "The Reluctant Dragon", Muffin the Mule, to name but a few. Before having my son earlier in the year I had worked as the manager of the Puppet Centre, the national centre for the p

I found this video late last night and could not stop laughing. Maybe it was the fact that I was tired but I laughed at it again this morning, so I don't think it was just a late night thing. Looks like it was done for a high school project. They did a good job, and the puppets are just funny. My favourite is the drummer.Tags: zz top, music, youtube, video, videorambler
