Dreams Become Real
Charleston native Ann Magnuson will be releasing a new album next month and you can pre-order it now. Dream Girl follows Ann’s recent explorations of dreams, what they mean, and the world in which they happen. Attendees at Ann’s show, An Evening of SuRURALism™, during FestivALL last year were treated to the pilot of her upcoming webseries, Ann Magnuson’s Dream Puppet Theater, which brings to life tales and adventures in the dream world. Anyone who witnessed her show last year will be sure to want her new album.
You can pre-order Dream Girl as a download or autographed CD at Ann’s website HERE.
Any day now the nine-minute pilot for Ann Magnuson’s Dream Puppet Theater is expected to be posted online. Written by and starring Ann, who performs both as herself and as the voices of the many animated characters, this short film is a surreal delight. In each episode of the upcoming series, Ann’s Grandma Magnuson’s handmade dolls take turns telling their dreams of the previous night, followed by a sophisticated dream analysis. AMDPT is a surreal and hilarious journey into the depths of the human psyche featuring the animation by Jonathon Stearns.
HARRAH Pays The Piper
HARRAH "Pay The Piper" from Rudy Panucci on Vimeo.
The video you see above is what your PopCulteer spent a great deal of yesterday editing. Pay The Piper is directed by Lee Harrah. This song, a preview track from the forthcoming HARRAH debut album, is Lee’s personal and heartfelt tribute to the legendary late actor and wrestler, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.
It’s an emotional tribute to a true original, an iconic antihero who became beloved by millions in spitte of himself. This driving song is set to footage of Piper in the ring and on the screen, doing what he did best, entertaining us.
Enjoy the video, remember the man, and start to anticipate HARRAH’s debut album. We’ll have news on their CD release show soon.
