I've got 2 tracks for you today on polar ends of the spectrum. Different as they may be, however, both songs belong to folk singer-song writer, Madeline. She's from Athens, Georgia, and has made a couple of albums: that's pretty much all I know about her.

For the sake of our readers at work, let's start off with the delightfully poppy (albeit slightly incoherent) "Hurry Up Pronto." I'm not going to say any more about it, because I really want you to get to the next one.

And now, the real masterpiece. Red Light Bulb is a mesmerizing "music video" produced by Clyde Petersen. The stop animation is masterfully directed, strutting intricate rack focuses, obscure camera angels, and a twist ending! If this music video were live-action, that is actors instead of Barbies, it would be directed by Darren Aronofsky. No doubt.
