You'll Be Spinning (Lunch Money): "Dizzy" Track Listing

DizzyCover1.jpgA Fids and Kamily voter told me that 2008 "might've been the best year yet for kids-music album art," and while I'm inclined to agree, 2009 looks like it might be even better.

I told you before about Brandon Reese and his nascent career as a kids music illustrator.

Well, it continues as he's posted all his artwork for the new album Dizzy (OK, they didn't take any of your suggestions), set for official release in January by Lunch Money.

Woo. Hoo.

The album cover is here (with Molly's permission.) Go here to see all the details -- sketches, etc.

And, yes, Brandon, you did do them right.

Track listing follows...
1. 5' 7"
2. I Love My Library
3. Everybody's Coming to the Zoo
4. Somehow a Frog Finds a Pond
5. It Only Takes One Night to Make a Balloon Your Friend
6. Are You a Rabbit?
7. Dizzy
8. Ate Too Much of My Favorite Food
9. At the River
10. Wake Up, World
11. Tiny Dinosaurs
12. A Cookie As Big As My Head

Listen To This: New (Old) Music From Lunch Money!

Lunch Money have helpfully posted a new picture on their Myspace profile illustrating exactly what a cookie as big as each of their heads would look like.

Oh, and they've posted the final version of the accompanying song. You've heard "Cookie As Big As My Head," "Dizzy," and "Tiny Dinosaurs" before, but there they are in all their final, mastered glory. Crisp production values, horns, and the tiniest bit of non-Molly lead vocals.

The new album (whose name I'm not yet at liberty to reveal) is out January 17.

Listen To This: "Dizzy" - Lunch Money

Any day with an unreleased demo posted to Lunch Money's Myspace page is a good day.

Today (or, actually, yesterday) is a good day.

It's definitely a demo track, but it's still got all that Lunch Money-ey goodness.

Reminder: Win Lunch Money's Silly Reflection!

Just a reminder, folks -- you can win a copy of Lunch Money's Silly Reflection album. All you have to do is go here by 9 PM west coast time tonight and suggest a name for Lunch Money's new album, scheduled to be released in January 2009.

What's that, you say? You already own the CD? Well, then, enter so you might win a copy for that friend of yours who isn't sure about this whole "kids' music" thing.

And if you don't already own the CD? You. Have. No. Excuse. Enter now.

Contest: Name The New Lunch Money Album!

If anticipation for a new album is represented by "E," awesomeness of most recent album is "A," and the amount of time since that most recent album is "T," then E = A * T.

And for me there is no "E" higher in the kids music world right now than for the next Lunch Money album. Their first album, Silly Reflection (review), is a classic, filled with tiny songwriting gems.

The album was released in late 2004, so when their new album is released on January 17, 2009, - the date they will appear on the band's website and first sell them at a show, according to the band - it will be a looong 4+ years between releases (and an entirely different kids' music landscape).

Molly Ledford told me their tentative name for the album, saying it "captures the kind of kid-generated fun we are trying to salute in our songs," (and I agree, it does) but says the name's "not official."

So here's where I -- or rather, you -- can provide Molly and the band some (unsolicited) help. And win a copy of their first album in the bargain.
That's right, I've got a copy of Silly Reflection ready for the mailing and all you have to do is suggest a name for the new album. By Tuesday June 10th at 9 PM West Coast (midnight East Coast) time suggest a name for the new album in the comments below and I'll randomly select one entry to get a copy of the CD. Feel free to suggest multiple names, but entries for the random drawing will be limited to one per person.

Who knows -- maybe a name will come along that so completely floors the band that they have no choice but to pick it. Or maybe it'll just amuse them (and us).

If you need some help, stroll through the Lunch Money archives here for links to songs, videos, and more.
