INSIDE JIM HENSON'S FANTASTIC WORLD

everyone loves the muppets along with the man behind the magic - creator jim henson who sadly passed away back in 1990 at the age of 53 - yet the muppets will never cease to exist (long live miss piggy & kermit the frog!) i worshiped them as a kid (oh the muppets take manhattan!) and i still love anything to do with 'em (i can't wait for the new muppets movie which is currently in the works) there's an exhibit running over in washington DC at the smithsonian called jim henson's fantastic world (running through october 5th) which looks to be an amazing retrospect that i'd personally love to see (mr. henson was the creative genius behind a lot more than just the muppets...)

a few weeks ago this mahna mahna tune got stuck in my head and i couldn't figure out where it was from - finally it dawned on me...it was featured on the muppet show (and sesame street) watch it for yourself yet be warned it's addictive (the pink snowths (pictured below) on backup are adorable) i've been trying to get my parrot max to pick up the tune but no luck as of yet! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo

organized with the jim henson legacy, jim henson's fantastic world offers audiences a rare peek into the imagination of this brilliant innovator and creator of kermit, big bird, and other beloved characters. the exhibition documents henson's process of "visual thinking" through works of art, photographs, documents, puppets and other 3-d objects, and film and video clips.

METALLICA VS BRYAN ADAMS - MASHUP!

good morning! here's the latest mashup selection from my pal DJ paul v. which takes on metallica (who are returning with a new album this year) and canadian rocker bryan adams...two elements you might not think to put together but this mashup actually works quite well - have a listen for yourself below! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


† FROM DJ PAUL V.
This week let's rock out a little, shall we? I'd mentioned the 90's revival a few weeks ago, and Metallica definitely falls into that category. And since the 80's revival is practically a never-ending story - hey, someone mashup Limahl, eh? - here's a pastiche of both eras. You get the angry-dude vocals from James Hetfield, set to the fun, rock radio pop of Bryan Adams' 'Run To You,' and it's amazing how similar the chords and melody work within each other. This comes courtesy of Australia's Wax Audio. Good on ya, mate! Peruse his website to check out some of his politically themed mixes, too.

Enjoy - DJ Paul V.
