on sunday night, i ended up on a bit of a youtube bender, looking for one thing and then another from my 'formative years'. fraggle rock was without a doubt one of the biggest influences on my life, but i don't think i even realize just how much so... i wanted to be mokey (top left) so badly! i never learned to sing like her, but i do think i grew up a lot like her. not that tall, but...
boober (bottom right) is the cutest, though. those minty, sage-y greens are still among my favourite colours. those guys would make the perfect fancy dress costume pair... my life-long dream has been to have a partner in crime and masquerading. never did. will i ever find my boober?
i watched a lot of clips, hadn't seen any of it since the eighties. i'd forgotten the compost pile was a lady! i remember the funeral episode, but in finnish... the dubbing was done very well, seeing the originals didn't feel at all strange. the following stood out to me. i also thought "this is what i grew up watching? for real?" ...in a good way. it's great stuff. i appreciate being subjected to fraggles.
trash heap blues
ragtime doll
funeral dirge
