We're Diggin'


Especially with my current state of wanderlust, I (and the girls) are loving the song "Road Trip" from Ellis Paul's new CD Dragonfly Races that has been playing recently on XMKids. Ellis will be performing here in Atlanta on March 9th, but we are, unfortunately, not able to go to the show, because, as it goes, I will be away on a trip.

Rumpus Room - Rebecca Frezza

This week is Rebecca Frezza in the Rumpus Room. We love Rebecca - "I Want to Fly Like Superman!" - and the harmonies her band creates. We were luck enough to get to see her perform once, and I hope we get to again one day again soon. Her new CD (Special Kind of Day) is coming our soon (I think April 8th), and it is great. A nice mix of songs for special days throughout the year.

    We're Diggin'

    The couple of songs from the The Doo-Dads that have been playing on XMKids. I don't care much for the video that I found on YouTube; it doesn't seem to capture what I hear in the songs. Go listen to the clips at CDBaby, especially "Mama Be Right Back" and "Daddy Got a Day Off".

    Yeah for the XMKids Homeschoolers

    The latest caller to Kenny was a homeschooler. Perhapd XM Kids should consider some cool show in the middle of the day directed at the homeschooling crowd out there (including us). Could be pretty cool, I think.
