Wednesday, September 19, 2007 at 9:55AM Today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. I have nothing to say about the holiday, really. It is, however, an excuse to show the KidVid Tournament 2007 Champion, Captain Bogg & Salty's "Pieces of 8ight."
Regardless of whether you've never seen it or seen it a hundred times, it's worth your four minutes.
Arrrrrrr, mateys.
Monday, September 17, 2007 at 10:25AM Man (or this man) at least cannot live on live music (and bottled water) alone. He must also have amusing videos featuring frisbie-throwing human-sized dogs and deers grilling at the barbecue.
Oh, yeah, a Carmen Miranda-style headpiece never hurts.
Here you go, the latest video from New York's The Jimmies -- "Spanimals."
Monday, September 17, 2007 at 3:16AM While in Austin, I ignored my e-mail from Amazon saying that the new They Might Be Giants kids' CD/DVD, Here Come the 123s would now be released February 5, a period so far in the future the major political parties might have already selected their 2008 Presidential candidates.
Sigh.
Oh, well, not all is lost, They Might Be Giants fans. The band has noted this video which, for many reasons, warms my heart.
Tuesday, September 4, 2007 at 1:50PM Clearly, I'm a big fan of Seattle's Recess Monkey, so I won't apologize for posting every time a band member sneezes, but they've put a new song from their upcoming double album Wonderstuff on their Myspace page, and "My Pet Rock" is a simple, Beatles-y blast. I love me some "la la la la" choruses.
Oh, and for those of you needing video stimulation, watch Jack do his best Buddy Guy impersonation -- not playing blistering blues guitar, mind you, just leading kids on a conga line during "Monkey Bars" while the rest of the band vamps
Wednesday, August 8, 2007 at 1:42PM When I posted that song from Lunch Money the other day, I knew that there was more good stuff on its way, and now it's here, courtesy of the Tricycle Music Fest's blog. Y'know, for a first year of a music festival, the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County done good.
The first track is another great uptempo track in the vein of "Cookie As Big As My Head," except this one features dinosaurs, so it's bound to be a massive hit.
Lunch Money - "Tiny Dinosaurs"
The other new track posted is a slower song featuring a "ribbit, ribbit" singalong chorus. It's more of a story song than I'm used to hearing from the band, but it's still a sweet listen.
Lunch Money - "Somehow a Frog Finds a Pond"
