Lily Allen’s Alfie Behind The Scenes

From the desk of the way-back machine: While the inside joke of Alfie's reference to children's television was lost on us Yanks not in the know, the song still rocked and it stands up to the beats of most everything to come out this year.

We need more puppets in videos. Heck, they kept Genesis relevant for a couple more years, right? Right?

Behind The Scenes of Alfie:

Lily Allen and her puppet little brother, built and performed by Jonny Sabbagh.

Last year I linked to the music video for Alfie, a song by British singer Lily Allen (see previous post) that features a puppet by Jonny Sabbagh. I just came across some behind the scenes video from the Alfie shoot that includes footage of Jonny and another puppeteer at work and wanted to share. Enjoy!

NIN ‘Still’ for Download

And to round out the year's push toward a drm-free state. NIN's Still album is finally available after 5 years of empty shelves and supplemental-music deprived fans shivering in the corner from withdrawal. Conveniently, it is available on iTMS and Amazon for those not eager to make a new account with whatever music site is selling it (I'm still waiting for my Radiohead X-mas package to arrive from UK).

'Still' Album Now Available For Download: Still, the 2002 companion album to And All That Could Have Been, is now available for download on Amazon 's MP3 store and iTunes. The Amazon release is higher quality and DRM-free, although the iTunes release includes a PDF version of the Still CD booklet. The CD version is not available in stores, but can be purchased via the NIN merch store.

Still includes several stripped-down live in-studio recordings of Nine Inch Nails songs, as well as original material:

1. Something I Can Never Have
2. Adrift and at Peace
3. The Fragile
4. The Becoming
5. Gone, Still
6. The Day The World Went Away
7. And All That Could Have Been
8. The Persistence Of Loss
9. Leaving Hope

Here is a YouTube playlist highlighting some of the material from Still:
