downtownTV-ites encountered Corey Dargel performing in an art museum but refuse to hold that against him. his original song ‘Don’t Let Me Lose Control of My Heart’, performed with our puppet host Edgar (who’s outed in this week’s episode of Look Who’s Talking), is a wrencher and their cover of Stephin Merritt’s (The Magnetic Fields) ‘I’m Tongue-Tied’ will hopefully amuse Stephin, Claudia and unnamed others.

in part 2 of Gary Lucas’ encounter with Edgar we share their joint bemusement of all things secret and mellow. or, should we say, they perform together ‘Secret Agent Man’ and Donovan’s delicious ‘Mellow Yellow’.

Kieran McGee performs his song 'Sammy Jones' and 'Patience' by Guns N' Roses in this, his second episode of Puppet Music Hall. He and Edgar are two rare and worthy artists and we hope you enjoy them together again as much as we do.
Monday, March 12, 2007 at 05:01PM Kieran McGee released his first CD, which showed the insipient troubadourial talents of someone to be reckoned with, at the age of 15. And now in his tender 20s he's one of the purest truly talented singer-songwriters in the vibrant downtown New York music scene. Joined by Edgar, he performs one of his own compositions, 'Odessa', and together they give a fresh interpretation of the Carter Family song, 'Hello Stranger'.

Michael Leviton, a uniquely talented singer-songwriter and ukulele player, sings one of his best-known hits 'Summer's the Worst' with Edgar. Enjoy this cautionary tale of summer delight along with an intimate after-party puppet music mini-video of Devendra Banhart, Edgar and friends by the fireplace sharing the pleasures of a slightly bacchanalian 'Over The Rainbow'. Judy Garland never quite knew what to make of the rainbow but we hope that our uniquely matched troubadours do.
