Afternoon Puppet Grossness: Yeasayer and MGMT

By Tinz in Articles, dumb at August 24, 2010 – 1:00 pm

In this edition of Afternoon Puppet Grossness, I bring you two music videos featuring disgusting puppets. Both are from experimental/psychedelic bands whose weirdness should not surprise many who are familiar with their music. The first is the video for Yeasayer’s “Madder Red”. The album, Odd Blood, was released February 8th of this year and the video has only been out for a week:

The second video is brought to you by MGMT. Their latest album, Congratulations, has been out since April 13th. While many have been turned off by the record, I’ve been completely embracing the bizarre sound of it. As far as I can tell, the music video for the title track was just released today. Hope you enjoy it. It’s weird.

How To Ruin A Mandolin

By Tinz in Articles, Features, Inspiration Week

Last Friday I had a late improv show and proceeded to live it up at the apartment afterward. 1:30 AM rolled around and suddenly I was addled by alcohol inspired by forces unknown to express my creativity. I did so by taking my four-dollar Michael’s paint set to my mandolin. I started to paint and [...]

The Feminist Movement

By Keith in Articles

Two summers ago, Keith and Tinz joined forces with Lisa (Cloud) Ridarelli to form the fake band, “The Feminist Movement.”
The band was cockney and from San Francisco.   Anyway, we wrote some fake jingles for some fake products for some show that never came into existence.
Here is our audition tape.   We made callbacks, but never heard [...]
