We will have to remember to bring Robbie (our name for our XM receiver) with us as we head to DC this weekend, so we can catch the show even if we are out and about.

Live in the Rumpus Room - Recess Monkey

On Tuesday, we went to a fabulous afternoon concert in the XMKids Rumpus Room, featuring Recess Monkey! What fun it was to be back at XM and seeing both Robbie and a really cool band!



Photos and Recap are here.

Rumpus Room - Joe McDermott

This weekend's Rumpus Room concert featuring Joe McDermott was recorded in July 2006, before Joe's latest CD, Everyone Plays Air Guitar, was released. I hope XMKids will be inviting him back soon so he can play more of the new songs live!

We have seen Joe perform live a couple of times, most recently a little less than a year ago in Austin. I hope we'll get to see him again soon!

Wow!

I don't know what's happened, but we are hearing some great stuff again today! Roger Day, Seth Decker, The RTTS. Excellent. The variety is fantastic!

I don't care much for the Shushybye show. Puts me to sleep. But I guess that's its point?

Awesome - Justin Roberts's 98.8

I haven't yet looked to see what CD this was from, but I loved it! I'm always very excited when XM Kids plays something really different from the regular line up.

Next up was Blue Grasshopper -- liked that one too. XM Kids introduced us to Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, whom we really love too!
