Watch This: Dr. Dog “Shadow People” Music Video

OWTK Kid's Music News — January 27, 2012 at 10:23 am
The Mouse and I are off to see Dr. Dog this afternoon in Phillytown. Figured this would be as good an opportunity as any to share a very kid-friendly video of theirs, for the song “Shadow People” off the band’s 2010 album “Shame, Shame”. Why kid appropriate? Well, ’cause it’s got roller skating, sparklers, and balloons. What else do you need to know? Enjoy “Shadow...

Watch This: Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band’s “Say What?” Kid’s Music Video
Few kids bands possess a ‘Lucky Diaz quality’ in the visual realm. I’m talking logo/font/website/apparel/album packing/video…all the stuff I’m terribly geeky for.  Oh, the music is pretty sweet too Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band simply look brilliant on the screen...

The Best Way To Start A Day
There are mornings, and then there are mornings when your 4 1/2-year-old daughter climbs into bed beside you just before the sun begins its losing battle against the predicted rain clouds and quietly and emotively says, as she wraps her short arms tightly around your neck, “I love you SOOO much.” I...

Quick Thoughts: On Entertaining

Quick Thoughts: On Entertaining
As an entertainer and one who allows himself to entertain; I am getting better. It should be obvious, especially to anyone who has had the distinct displeasure of hearing me sing or watching me do something sorta resembles dancing, I am not an entertainer in the Gene Kelly sense of the word. By keeping...

Watch This: “My First Hardcore Song” Video by Juliet
There ain’t a lot of kiddie hardcore.  So if you grew up with Damnation A.D. or Biohazard or some such band and look for something similar for your kids, well, you probably aren’t going to have much luck. At the very least, you’ve now got this thrashing one minute video from Juliet,...

The Biscuit Brothers – “Get Up & Go” Kid’s CD Review
THE BISCUIT BROTHERS “GET UP & GO” The album starts out, it would have seemed, as the funniest stuff my girls have ever heard in all their lives. The Bear & Mouse were both bonkers as my jumbled up “Get Up & Go” iTunes playlist began, confusingly, with a rousing take...

Abandoning The Elderly

Abandoning The Elderly
I turned 36 years of age today. As her present to me, the Mrs. will disappear into the moist grey sky this evening. Not a magic trick, unless air travel still fascinates you in that way. She’s ditching the girls and I for a business trip, her first, to Charlotte North Carolina, thus heaving all...
