Grimes has the voice of a siren. A mythical siren from a place far, far away... well, Canada.

Born Claire Boucher, Grimes has already sold out her show at Glasslands in Brooklyn in March. Keep an eye out for this one.

This film, made by Jim Henson in pre-Muppets 1963 when data communications was new and unfamiliar territory, is about a robot and its antagonism towards mankind. It was originally made for "an elite seminar given for business owners" (pretty damn strange business seminar we'd say) and was found in the AT&T Archives with verification from the Henson Archives. The robot, the special effects, the humorous script and plot twist are still on point almost 50 years later.
