For all of you who made it to Matt’s album release show at Littlefield, well done. It was a brilliant and most definitely unique evening of music, performance and puppetry.
We have a treat for you in case you were having Matt and Martin withdrawals. Shot by Kristen Winter and in the dead of Winter (how quaint!) - we have a special video of Matt performing his song “VHS” from his new album.
If you didn’t get to the release show, there is another opportunity to see him in a show of a slightly different kind at St Ann’s Warehouse at the end of this month. Matt Singer is teaming up with puppeteer Eric Wright to perform their new puppetry musical about the human experience of food politics, What Are You Eating, at the Puppet Lab at St. Ann’s Warehouse. Mr. Wright’s performance credits include Madama Butterfly (Metropolitan Opera) and Powerhouse (NYC Fringe Festival) and he is a co-founder of The Puppet Kitchen, whose clients include The Public Theater (Hamlet) and FAO Schwartz / Folkmanis Puppets.
In Eric’s words:
Eat right, Eat less,
eat some more (but just of this)
You ate that? Oh Dear, how could you?
Technically you could … but should you?
The dinner table’s full of “don’t,”
I think that I’ve ate my fill of “won’t”
There must be something more to food
that leaves me feeling bad or good.
Ingredients — Songs, puppets, food for thought, oxygen dihydride, pie.

Our friends and former office mates Holstee just launched a new blog where all kinds of interesting people share their stories of how the famous Holstee Manifesto (featuring a Wakey!Wakey! song) has impacted their lives. One story below, the rest here.
I stumbled upon the Holstee Manifesto about 1 year ago at a quite perfect time. I had just left my job of 2 years in search for pushing my limits only to take an agency job that put me a box- literally. A week at the agency totally depressed me as I realized I would be doing the same thing for years and growth was minimal at best. The ones who had been there for a while looked stressed, tired and miserable. I knew this could not be it as I started to realize that life was too short not to do something that mattered (a book by Hugh McLeod, Evil Plans, helped push this idea. It just so happen to be on my desk—timing at it’s best). As I could not stand (or sit in my box) idle, I started to create by Plan B list, drew out my new plan on paper for a visual to hold on to-packed up my desk and went home to get started. I set out a space in my house for “work”, started a blog and began to search the internet for inspiration, people, companies, and organizations that did work that mattered. That is when I found the Manifesto. The words spoke to me loud and clear and set me in a new path that has enabled incredible growth. I printed the Manifesto (and a few for friends as well) and posted it above my desk to look at each morning.
Over the past year, I took on the launch of this project. It is all about helping people achieve their performance and wellness goals and well as work through ailments by concentrating on what they eat and how it relates to their health. Along with this amazingly fulfilling project, I started to talk to people about their passion and created actions plans for each. I most recently decided to sell my house, keep things simple, complete a 200 hour yoga certification, travel to see friends and family and finally focus on listening to my kids (they know so much about happiness), reading inspired novels, typing late at night, exploring new places, and meeting new people (basically getting out of my comfort zone)- all for the cause of doing what I came here to do and that is helping others grow their passions while living a happy, fulfilled, healthy life.
Thank you Holstee for putting your Manifesto down on paper and spreading the message- it has been truly inspiring for me. I think sometimes if we are open to the signs (they are everywhere) and listen to the little voice in our heads (that will not go away, so just listen to it for goodness sake) and keep pushing ourselves (do something that scares you everyday- this is a good motivator) then the world opens up and we take this life, our life, into our own hands. We can then finally start to feel inspired, fulfilled and alive.

Casey Shea is an assassin?
That’s exactly the question I asked myself when coming up with the storyline for this music video. - Wesley

I don’t take royalties because I am ethically opposed to them as a means of compensation. I think they unfairly siphon money from a band who has earned it. It is patently ridiculous to work on a record for a couple of weeks in a secondary capacity and get paid for it in perpetuity. I prefer to set a price for my time and get paid like anybody else who works for a living. My wife on the other hand, she regrets my position on royalties.
