Is there enough dancehall music in the kindie scene? No, there probably is not. The Australian kid’s outfit The Might bUZZniks attempts to partially remedy this problem with the ever-involving* video for their song “Robot Kevin” (from the new album “Bug Out”) which at the top feels like a Robyn […]
I was to speak with Tucker Martine on the phone a couple weeks back but a sudden burst of severe back pain kept me from dialing his number. Luckily for you, he agreed to answer a quick six-pack of questions via email instead, thus saving you from my transcribed grunts […]
Another one turns to Kickstarter sure does have a nice ring to it. It’s certainly way better than another one bites the dust. The Pop Ups, those fine Brooklyn lads known for their puppets, pasta, and palloons (okay, technically it’s balloons but just go along with the alliteration would ya!) […]

MR. RICHARD AND THE POUND HOUNDS “GARBAGE MAN” If you’re anything like me, you can easily envision a tune with that title by a band with that name being a crude blues song. But get your head out of the trashcan, son, this is kid’s music. Geesh. 😉 I had […]
IN THE NICK OF TIME “IN THE NICK OF TIME” You don’t hear a whole heck of a lot of U2 in kid’s music, but In The Nick Of Time’s self-titled arena rocker brings a little bit of Bono’s grandeur to music made for children. It doesn’t hurt that the […]
I guess it’s true; rabbit feet are good luck. “I Think I’m A Bunny”, Todd McHatton’s whacky duet with his adorable daughter, has bunny-hopped (or is that monster-marched?) into the #1 position on the Sirius/XM Kid’s Place Live kid’s music charts. The song is the final track on the CA-native’s […]
