I recorded this special Back 2 School edition of the podcast at 5:15 AM, while the kiddies and the wifey slept. That explains my whispering, as well as my sleepy/somber-ish voice. I put this playlist together to mimic the school day, starting with supply shopping, anxiety issues, and heading straight […]
**UPDATE** Congrats to The Not-Its! They decisively took down The Que Pastas and move on to round 2! Welcome to the Leadbelly region, folks, for this titillating first round matchup. I’m here with Billy Zapper and Bark Kellog at the gorgeously renovated OWTK.com arena for what should be a dandy […]
A couple of things to keep in mind here: 2011 is, for the purpose of these lists, defined as 11/1/10-10/31/11 (with special exception being made for one disc, “Strange Dees, Indeed”, officially released on 11/1). I went out to 52 top songs for 2011 because I had to. In fact, […]

If you’re a kid’s musician set to make a video in 2011, god bless ya. Between The Pop Ups, The Okee Dokee Brothers, Princess Katie & Racer Steve, and Renee & Jeremy (and those are just the ones within the past month!) the bar has been set so damn high…I […]
With apologies to Mayor Monkey and Recess Monkey’s forthcoming “Flying!”, The Not-Its! 3rd disc “Tag, You’re It!” has the finest cover art of any kid’s music release this year. It’s an homage to 1970’s novelty LPs (Tinkerbell Records-era recordings). It’s retro. It’s hip. It’s childish. It’s freakin’ gorgeous. “Tag, You’re […]
Kindiefest 2011 was brilliant. Photos now. Words later. Amazon.com Widgets
