"Tails" - Red Yarn Puppet Band

Artist: Red Yarn Puppet Band 

Song: "Tails" 

Album: N/A

Description:  Though the spacy, almost otherworldly sound Red Yarn brings to the traditional folk song would have sounded just fine on his debut album The Deep Woods , this video actually predates (and doesn't appear on) the album.  For that reason alone, it's worth mentioning.  But also: puppets.  Six puppeteers strong.  I can't be the only getting Emmett Otter flashbacks...

"Banana Man" - Glen Hansard

Artist: Glen Hansard

Song: "Banana Man" 

Album: N/A

Description:  This is a video Hansard recorded for the forthcoming Adventure Sandwich TV show (yes, I was a Kickstarter backer).  Yes, it's a song about bananas.  And, of course, being Hansard, it sounds great, but it's the puppets that make it re-watchable.

"Fuzzy & Orange" - Todd McHatton

Artist: Marvy Monstone's Mysterious Fun Time Dream Band (aka Todd McHatton)

Song: "Fuzzy & Orange"

Album: Todd McHatton Presents Marvy Monstone's Mysterious Fun Time Dream Band

Description: I think I like this video because the production values are adequate, not spiffy -- its "let's try this after-effect!" attitude matches the revved up, synthesized song.  Also, I love Finch's collar and necktie.
