You know what I love? Elizabeth Mitchell originals. Now, I’ve got nothing against covers, especially those of traditional American folk songs, or of songs by guys named Hendrix and Bowie, but what I crave most as a music fan are not interpretations, but fresh tunes from great songwriters. This one, […]
When it entered our home, there were many instant hit songs from Ultramagnetic Universal Love Revolution, the 2012 album from Los Angeles kindie hipster Mista Cookie Jar, but it was “Lucas!” that made the greatest mark with my girls. Its ridiculousness is, well, ridiculous funny, and the pop culture references […]
There aren’t a ton of great Halloween songs. Christmas, it is not. But, but! this new one from Gustafer Yellowgold’s most recent DVD/CD Year In The Day qualifies, and kills! I played “Werewolves Rock,” and 9 other somewhat seasonal-ish Autumnal tunes, on the very special Halloween episode of the OWTK […]

Enjoy “Robots On The Dance Floor” by RhymeZwell: You dig? Good, now help RhymeZwell make his next […]
Randy Kaplan, kindie’s favorite old-soul troubadour, returned with a new album this month. Fear not, Mr. Diddie Wah Diddie is not a bizarre P. Diddy covers disc, instead it is a tribute to 1920’s country blues and ragtime with Kaplan putting his unique spin on songs by Robert Johnson, Muddy […]
A couple weeks back, the girls and I sat in on the live Lunch Money concert at Sirius/XM Kids Place Live in Washington D.C. The band was great, as always, and we especially enjoyed hearing some new tracks, specifically “You Were My Basket Of Flowers” (swoon), a song I played […]
