Randy Kaplan at XM - 28 May 2009
Yesterday, we were excited to get back to the Rumpus Room at XM in DC for our third time in May! It was so great to see Randy Kaplan perform live in the XM LiVE Performance Studio! We've seen him a couple times before, but never for a full show, and it was great! We love his sense of humor and way of blending song and outrageous stories.
While we waited in the lobby for Mindy to come get us and bring us upstairs, weren't we surpised to see Robbie come down. And then Mindy. And then Kenny and Jinx walked in too! Wow! I don't think I've ever seen all four of them in one place! After we went up to the waiting area outside the performane studio, Mindy sat down to rad a story. And Robbie sat on the floor right in front of her. And Kenny sat in his lap. What a silly crew they are!!!
Chloe was thrilled that he did "Shampoo Me" and I was so happy that he played the "Grape Juice Hesitation Blues." He got the audience interacting on songs that they had never heard before. Everyone had a blast, but the loyal KPL listeners were quite anxious for him to get to the two songs that KPL has been playing (over and over) lately. After the show, he hung out with the fans until he had to run to catch his train. Camille and I found it amusing that Randy had the "Ladybug Without Spots" verse order taped to the guitar.

Live on the Farm

Yes, you read that right! The KPL Fans went to the Animal Farm this morning! And Chloe says that it doesn't small bad. Chloe's other observation is that everything on the farm is "awkward".

We had such a great time hanging with Kenny! We listened as he took some calls, including one from the kid int he big truck and another from the boy whose birthday it was. We loved chatting with him and seeing him do his stuff. Unfortunately, he didn't have a change to bring any of the animals out, though he did put "Chloe the Cat" on the air, which mean that now Kenny is one of Chloe's BFFs. She's already planning to call in and be a regular visitor.

We are so thrilled that Kenny let us come visit him on the farm and see how he pushes all the buttons, spins the dials and slides the sliders, all while answering the phone and using the computer. Wow!
We hung out at XM for a little while after we left Kenny, because it gave us a chance to say hi to Chloe's other BFF, Mindy. Yeah! While we waited for Mindy, none other than Jinx came through the lobby! (We would have asked for a photo, but he was on the phone.) Mindy was so nice to take time to hang with us for a little while before she went in to get to work. As always, it was great to be with her there at XM, one of our favorite places to visit.

Friday News
On the Animal Farm:
We got a nice lesson in fire safety. Fun!
Absolutely Mindy:
No talking that I heard today. But I understand that's because Laurie Berkner is in the Rumpus Room this afternoon. We had hoped to go to the show, but we are having our own Rumpus Room style show tonight, so we had to pass. So torn! I did notice that a few station ids were the XMKiDS ones, oops.
Our Game:
We like to try to guess what will go on and off the 13under13 each week. This week, I am sensing Rollercoaster or Day After Halloween may fall off. And coming on? Hmm. That Madagascar theme, the Ting Tings birthday song, the Milkshake "Best Friend" song, and another one that I just can't remember right now!! Ack.

Thursday Notes
We were on the road most of the day. So while we listened to KiDS Place LiVE the whole time, I didn't take lots of notes.
Animal Farm:
Sounded good. Kenny only said XMKiDS a couple of times. Some nice skits with the animals. A kids called in asking for Kenny to play Bon Jovi(?), but then asked for "My Green Kite" by Peter Himmelman. Chloe called in to do math problems with Kenny.
I didn't notice if Shushybybe came on or not.
Absolutely Mindy:
Needless to say, we were so sad not to hear more from Mindy, Coliflordia and the rest of the stuff that makes the show so entertaining for us. The boat has been rocked and we are going to hope that the dust settles in a way that will give us back the show in the form that we know and love or in a new form that we will also love. Chloe called Mindy and told her that she's her BFF.
While Mindy may have confused a few kids' requests today, I have to say that her memory of kids, their names, their likes and dislikes, etc. amazed me from day 1. We actually met Mindy before we were XM subscribers; we went to a Rumpus Room show in Nov 2006 to hear ScribbleMonster. We talked to Mindy for about 10 minutes altogether. We next saw her in NC at the Traveling Roadshow in May 2007. She remembered my girls' names! How in the world she did that, I have no idea. Hearing XMKiDS play in the background at the roadshow, I decided it was a GOOD thing. We heard Danny Adlerman and more great kids' artists on the air, and I went home and subscribed.
Anyway, since then, every time we have seen Mindy, she greets all the kids she sees by name, knows when and where she has seen them before etc. She's amazing!
Robbie Schaefer in a Real Tall Tree:
Again, we didn't hear as much of Robbie as we love to hear, but I'm going to do what I can to keep the shows alive -- stick around and keep asking them to do what we love for them to do. Chloe talked to Robbie about the giant peach water tower we were about to pass.
See my post on Zooglobble in a Real Tall Tree.
Here on the blog:
I'm happy to say that the discussion in the comments has stayed informative and civil. People are able to express their opinions and understand that we are all entitled to our own opinions. Again, I'm not going to just give KPL a week. I'm going to stick around and keep expressing my opinion. The Rumpus Room concerts alone are a reason to keep my XM. If the programming goes to too much couch potato (yes, I admit, I'm the one that asked for the iCarly song, but I just can't help it) and not enough interviews, talk, and sharing, then we will likely listen less than we do now. There's only so many times I can listen to the Madagascar song!
