The Midwest’s finest family music festival takes place each year in Kansas City, MO over Memorial Day Weekend. It’s called KC Jiggle Jam and it’s a sight to behold. The City of Fountain’s Crown Center is overrun with babies napping on brilliantly manicured green grass, toddlers going boing in moonbounces, […]
Dr. Noize, the mad genius behind rock-opera The Ballad of Phineas McBoof, breaks down the new single from version 2 of his debut album by taking about Vivaldi, syncopation, and ancient chord progressions.

Recess Monkey’s 1st video from their forthcoming album “Flying” features a fishbowl, a cummerbund, falling paper hearts, and a 10-piece orchestra (sort of).
