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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.
