Dan Zanes on Being a Dad in the Big City and The Next Phase of His Career

The NYC Dads Group gave me the opportunity to chat with kid’s music legend Dan Zanes recently, to discuss the evolving landscape of childhood in the big city and, similarly, how being a dad in the Big Apple has changed in the two decades since the famous crazy-haired kid’s rocker […]

OWTK Interview: Tucker Martine

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 […]

OWTK Interview: Recess Monkey

At this point, you probably know the Recess Monkey back story.  At least I hope you do, because you won’t learn that the trio are early childhood educators at a progressive Seattle school or that they’re managed by a monkey named MayMo.  You also won’t read a word about their […]

OWTK Interview: The Not-Its!

OWTK Interview: The Not-Its!

Kindie is the new grunge. The flannel, however, has been replaced by spacesuits, skinny ties and pink tutus; the sour puss expressions subbed out for Kool-Aid smiles. I’m more than alright with all of this.   Flannel made me so damn itchy anyway, and life’s too short to be mucho […]

OWTK Interview: Dan Zanes

Alright, so I’m kinda cheating with that headline because this isn’t a proper OWTK interview, seeing as how it appears on Time Out New York Kids website and not here. I did ask him my standard ‘how important is music inside the family home in an era of technological distractions’ […]

OWTK Interview: The Pop Ups

I could wax poetic about the vibrancy, creativity and energy that exists in the kindie rock world. Really, I could go on all day. It’s just better down here in the kid’s music underground; more diverse, better music, legitimately cool concerts. There are so many new acts making fun, provocative […]

OWTK Interview: Brady Rymer

A big tip o’ the cap to Gwyneth of Gooney Bird Kids for tipping me off to a new Brady Rymer song on CDBaby.  The tune “Love me for Who I Am (Please Don’t Try to Fix Me)”, it turns out, is step 1 in an ongoing project the Rymers […]

Catching up with Recess Monkey * UPDATED *

In late-January, while Recess Monkey was putting some finishing touches on “The Final Funktier”, bassist Jack Forman took time away from his laundry and schoolwork to talk to me about album #6, Kindiefest, and why the current kindie rock scene in Seattle is infinitely better than his hometown’s post-grunge scene. […]
