A screenshot from a film with laurels imposed over it and the words 'Videomedeja Grand Prize Videomedeja Awards 2025'. Two silhouettes face away from each other on either side of two windows in a room with a wooden table and a wooden floor.

@videomedeja has awarded 'How Now, House?' with the Grand Prize: "The piece has the power to encapsulate the universal within the particular. It distills the complex, painful and beautiful experience of living together into a single, looping testament to what was — and what no longer is."

"Combining the techniques of modern tendencies in animation, timelaps, directed scenes and oral testimony, @tessmartinart.com creates a complex experiment of living together, viewed through fragments."

2 page spread of interview with Weird Al Yankovix by Fozzie Bear 9Muppet Magazine 1984). Left page features lyrics to Eat It and Rocky Road. Right page: The accordion is going to completely take over the rock in roll world." "No," Weird Al told me, was pretty normal. I was a good student. But at night, at home, I wrote song parodies. Then, friend of mine sent them in to Dr. Demento's radio show in Los Angeles-and he started playing them. I was really sur-prised! Weird Al was only fifteen when the good Doctor played his songs. And now, at twenty- three, he's a big star. I asked him what he'd been up to during those years in between. "Music and comedy have al- "Yes, Fozzie, I think my brain looks like my Hawaiian shirt. ways been my hobbies, Fozzie," said Weird Al, "so I kept doing them on the side while I went along with the rest of my life. I studied architecture at college and got my degree. I played around in different bands, and I was a deejay on a college radio station. All the time, I kept hoping I'd get a big break." His big break came with his first hit, "My Baloney," which is a take-off on the song, Sharona" by The Knack. "My Weird Al not only writes wacko songs—he plays the accordion in his rock "n' roll band. too! Wocka! Wocka! "Hey, Fozzie, don't laugh," Weird Al told me. "I was only seven years old when my parents decided I should learn how to play the accordion. And since I was kind of letting them make all my decisions for me then, I learned to play it. But, if you're playing the guitar, if you're playing the drums, if you're playing the ukelele, stop right now! The accordion is going to completely take over the rock 'n' roll world. It's the wave of the future. The sound of the eighties! In fact, I've declared the accordion the Official Instrument of the 1984 Olympics!" Now, everyone knows I write my own jokes. I wondered how Weird Al got ideas for his songs. "You see, Fozzie," Weird Al told me, "I choose a song to parody by hearing either a musical …

Remainder of @alyankovic.bsky.social interview, Muppet Magazine, 1984. I guess @katydobbs.bsky.social had something to do with this too? Maybe she helped Fozzie Bear transcribe the interview.

Magazine article of a scripted interview with Weird Al Yankovic by the muppet Fozzie Bear from Muppet Magazine in 1984. A photograph of Weird Al and Fozzie Bear together. Wocka, Wocka! Hs... Weird OZZIE HERE, and boy oh boy, did I meet someone very funny-Weird Al Yankovic! You see, I really like rock 'n' roll, but even better, I like rock 'n' roll that makes me laugh! And Weird Al, with his goofy song parodies, is the funniest guy on the charts! "Wow!" I said, first thing, "Your parents must be really cool because they gave you as a first name the word 'weird.'" "Well, Fozzie," said Weird Al, "that's not my real name. My parents named me Alfred, but I changed it to Weird Al because I thought it sounded more mature." Wocka! Wocka! I'm going to change my name too! I'm trying to decide on Flakey Fozzie, Funky Fozzie, or Funny Fozzie, but I need to think about it some more. Weird Al writes such funny spoofs of hit records, I thought that maybe he was a cut-up in school.... By Fozzie as told to Katy Dobbs • Photographs by Nancy Moran

This is a great interview.

I did not see that. Can you tell me who said that so I can be angry at them?

Because they were desperately poor.

If you’ve ever seen a video of a toddler with whooping cough.

It is terrifying.
