Twisted Tuesdays - Rembering Kaleidoscope Eyes
Written by AiYume Tuesday, 28 July 2009 19:38
I'd intended to do a tribute to Walter Cronkite last week, but I couldn't find the main song I wanted as a video *or* streamed music online. The second song I wanted to use is is still streamable at the FuMP, but doesn't have a video.
Then I thought I might do something ComicCon related since I just got back from that. But then I found this on a friend's LJ and thought it was hilarious. I give you the Poetry of Palin. Because it's not on YouTube I can't embed it here, so just click on the link.

In trying to find something for this week, I had a choice between something obnoxious and something a bit on the sweet side. So.... Here is a video about pandas to one of the most obnoxious songs I know.
Twisted Tuesdays - It's Time to Play The Music

Recently I found a show called Science in the Movies on the Science Channel. The host, Nar Williams, is almost too geeky, but it's in a look-at-all-this-stuff-isn't-it-neat kind of way. Some of the stuff I already know, but some of it is stuff I might actually be able to use. This coming week's episode, though, just looks like a lot of fun. This week, Nar is taking us to Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
Nearly everyone my age has seen The Muppet Show and at least two or three of the Muppet Movies. And a lot of people my age (and slightly older) have seen the Muppet bits on the first two seasons of SNL. But a co-worker recently told me of a series of local commercials with what I would call Proto-Muppets. The following clips show those commercials in all their black and white glory. Enjoy!

June 23rd is the birthday of Joss Whedon. While known for dark and generally serious shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse, he has been known to show a sense of humor. In additional the successful Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, he is sometimes caught on camera doing fun things. Here is Joss pretending he's someone dressed up as him.

"Weird Al" Yankovic has a new song out called "Craigslist". It is supported by a video, available to view for free on YouTube (and embedded below). The song is available on Amazon's MP3 store, iTunes, and other mp3 stores. The video is also available for purchase through iTunes.
"Weird Al" also has a project in collaboration with the Orange County Fair called Al's Brain. While the fair has gotten some flack for putting money toward this that might have gone toward the agricultural side of the fair, the people running the fair see it as an investment in the entertainment side which contributes to fair attendance. As producers, they may also "rent" this attraction to other fairs, which may bring in more money as well. A YouTube video trailer for Al's Brain is also below.
AlFest 2009 is still being planned for August 1st. For more details see their site at http://www.alfest2009.com/. It should be reiterated that Al will not be attending. On a uStream chat on June 16th, he specifically said he would be in Hawaii while AlFest is going on. However, in addition to at least 2 band members and lots of funny musicians singing their hearts out, look for members of the cast of UHF!
