I have put much time and love into these little things and tried to make them as close i could to the real versions. I hope you like them as much as i do.

If there is a special keyboard or guitar, pedal or amp (etc) that you would like to have a little felt version of, please email me with your request with some pictures and i can do my very best to make it tiny, cute, and felty.

U2´s Vienna comeback gig snubbed by Jehovah’s Witnesses


Rock superstars U2 will not have a Vienna live comeback appearance this year as a Jehovah’s Witnesses’ event is blocking the stadium on the band’s preferred days.

The Irish four-piece reportedly planned to return to Austria on 7 or 8 August to perform at Vienna’s 51,000-seat Ernst Happel Stadium. However, the religious group has already leased the venue to hold a mass christening on both those days.

Nicht ohne meinen Joint


Er ist der Posterboy der Kiffer-Kultur: Bob Marley. Ein neuer Bildband lässt den toten Reggae-Paten wieder auferstehen - in den beliebten Relax-Posen. Richtig spannend dagegen sind jene Fotos, auf denen die zornigen jungen Männer des Reggaes zu sehen sind.

Welche Bilder fallen einem zu Bob Marley ein? Bob der Kiffer mit Joint im Mund, klar; auch Bob der Nachdenkliche, als Close-up-Porträt mit ernstem Blick; und vielleicht noch Bob der Bühnenprediger, die Gitarre umgehängt, die Augen zugekniffen und den Arm in die Luft gereckt. Zugespitzt gesagt: Das war's.

Sly Stone and George Clinton's Secret Show shut down by Health Dept. after 5 minutes... Possibly for fear of blowing roof off...


This from Weekly correspondent Daniel Siwek, who barely missed Tuesday night’s five-minute Sly Stone Variety Show surprise performance at Little Temple. The secret show, one of a few that the legend has done around LA in the past month, was cut short, however, when the health department came in before the show and shut Little Temple down. Apparently it had something to do with hot water heaters and proper temperature—though rumors that the department was worried about the roof either catching fire or blowing straight off the minute Clinton and Stone took the stage do bear consideration. But the timing was terrible for all involved.
