When you think about the true stars of today’s kindie music scene, what are the names that can easily be tossed out there? Laurie Berkner, Dan Zanes, Ralph’s World, They Might Be Giants (debate amongst yourselves if the Disney label disqualifies them from ‘kindie’ status). Anyone else? Justin Roberts, I […]
The boys from Seattle joined forces with the Readeez man from Atlanta at yesterday’s library concert in Decatur, GA. Word has it the A/C went out. Fortunately for the packed room, the kindie rock went on. OWTK loves both Recess Monkey and Michael Rachap’s Readeez/Songeez/Matheez work, so this is something […]
Best kid’s music video ever that features a dude getting absolutely smashed by a giant green water balloon. Your kiddos are going to love this. Enjoy “Water Balloon” by The Okee Dokee Brothers (from the forthcoming album “Take it Outside”):

It’s a warm, homemade video with Frances candidly playing this charming tune, from her debut “Fascinating Creatures”, in front of her kid’s artwork which hangs clothesline-style against the wall. After you watch, send dad a […]

It’s for “My Magic Trick” which isn’t the most dynamic tune on “All Around Ralph’s World” but it certainly lends itself well to a visual presentation. Enjoy “My Magic […]
Yeah, it’s late on Friday night but Readeez has pre-released their latest gem and, well, I just gotta share it. I love referring to our 1st president as “a curly haired guy”. Michael Rachap was 2 seconds away from having this video be the exact same amount of seconds as […]
A phony State of the Union address, a staged moon landing, dumpster diving, and sparkly Michael Jackson gloves? Recess Monkey’s 1st video from “The Final Funktier” has got it all. Clearly borrowing some of the same innovative technology used during the other moon landing, Drew, Jack, Daron and Mayor Monkey […]
