Furthering his attempts at world domination, rapper/blogger/producer/mogul Kanye West is teaming up with Comedy Central for a project described as "hip-hop meets the Muppets." A half-hour pilot has been shot for the project, tentatively titled "Alligator Boots." It's from Jackhole Prods. , the production company founded by Jimmy Kimmel , Daniel Kellison and Adam Carolla that also was behind Comedy Central's puppet-centric "Crank Yankers." The project, which is under consideration for 2009, would feature music produced and performed by West [...]
I love the Muppets. Looking back, my adoration for Jim Henson was probably my first huge gay crush. I think what impressed me most about the Muppets was that despite the fact that they seemed geared toward children with their technicolor felt skin and bugged-out eyeballs, they weren't talking down to me or underestimating my intelligence. I got all of the sex, drugs, violence and political humor (and if I didn't I'm sure the dialogue shaped my future ideas on the world). In their movies they routinely shattered the fourth wall with complex themes of films within films in a [...]

I've been on a Muppets kick ever since they started making YouTube videos , so this was a treat. A fan edited old Muppets video together to seamlessly fit the new track from The Hold Steady. via IndieBlogHeaven
This was posted by Sound Advice friend Po Safe Beats in response to our previous statement regarding Muppets on the Internets (a statement we standby incidentally). Actually, this is pretty awesome... music. ideas. opinions. Sound Advice Music [www.soundadvicemusic.blogspot .com]
The internet is home to many wonders. Witness the wonders of this, this, and this. But after an extensive and exhaustive search, we at the Sound Advice Labs have finally found the best thing ever... music. ideas. opinions. Sound Advice Music [www.soundadvicemusic.blogspot .com]
This is a little off topic, but saw that this morning the muppets each have their own youtube channel. You can see all the new videos here , this is my favorite.
LACK OF AFRO " Press On " the debut album from Lack Of Afro was one of the albums of 2007, effortlessly straddling the cool crowd and the less so. The lovingly crafted samples, and stomping funk had the Hoxton set convinced the Avalanches had made a funk album, while Radio 2 lapped up the tunes and the inspired use of Steve Harriet's golden voice on killer single " Touch My Soul ". Brilliant though it was, I approached the live show with some trepidation... how would such a heavily sample based album translate up [...]

"Hmmm. Now how would Woody feel in this 8th sequel to a Toy Story." The last time I saw Morrissey he opened with a song that went along the lines of ".....blah blah blah Simon Dancing Bear." (Except no blah blahs and far more histrionic.) I didn't know the song and looked it up. Oh, Randy Newman. And so began one of those pursuits we've all had - the artist you should know/would totally be in love with. A friend dropped Newman live at the Record Plant on me. Guy's got a way. This is from [...]
Everyone will certainly recognize this aria from Bizet's opera Carmen . I love the Muppets but this is a whole new level of hilarity. This one's for Derek.
Seeing a similar post on Pretty Much Amazing! reminded me to post this. Feist and Sesame Street is a brilliant combination for success. I grew up watching Sesame Street; in fact I grew up with autographed pictures of Elmo and Big Bird in my bathroom. Sesame Street was a big part of my childhood, and now I get to re-live it with this outstanding version of 1234. Feist- 1234 (Sesame Street Version) FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES, A MUPPET SHOW THEME + MP3 [...]
We continue Muppet Covers Week with covers of songs performed by the Muppets and/or special guests. Ozzy Osbourne & Miss Piggy - Born to Be Wild [originally by Steppenwolf] From the 1994 album Kermit Unpigged , which featured the Muppets, uh, mupping it up with special guests such as Jimmy Buffett, Linda Ronstadt, and Don Henley. Ozzy & Miss Piggy make for stranger bedfellows than a frog and a pig, eh? Actually, when you think about it, this is really the unlikely [...]
How certain are we that this has to be the final post of the day? It's not related to blog photos of foxy women, it isn't from the music issue of The Believer , and it's got nothing to do with Sub Pop's 20th anniversary, though it's easy to imagine something like it being part of the new Singles Club. Thanks, good night, and we'll see you tomorrow. (Or rather, Maura will. I will see you Wednesday.)
i've never really been a fan of space. not keen on red dwarf, and the closest i ever came to star wars or star trek was being forced to play princess leia during countless 'wet playtimes' at infant school. if they let us outside i would head straight for the fence...anyway, i have no idea which one princess leia originates from and i don't care. i liked pigs in space though. and button moon rocked 'home lunchtimes' once a week, with its blatant product placement for heinz and fairy liquid. you would have thought they could have stumped up a couple of [...]
After 3 straight gigantasaurus uber-posts, my brain needs to be coaxed back into regular activity. Therefore, I'm keeping this one short and sweet. I will warn you, though. This sucker is an earworm. You may find yourself humming it all day if you're not careful. And if you let your kids hear it ... fuggedaboutit. Here's the acoustic hipster version, courtesy of Austin's own Asylum Street Spankers . Lots of cool references in this one, how many can you name? Speaking [...]

On some Mondays, I'll post multiple versions of songs. This week, we hear from Mr. Randy Newman, and his ursine companion. Randy Newman wrote this song back in 1965, and took it to his friends in Harpers Bizarre (best known for their cover of "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)"). They recorded it in 1967, followed closely by Alan Price , who'd just left The Animals to pursue his solo dreams. Harry Nilsson recorded it in 1969, and then Newman himself finally recorded it in 1972. The [...]
