OK, this is mostly a Tiny Scarecrow deal, but any new music -- especially TS music -- from Austin's Biscuit Brothers is always welcome. It's a "work in progress," according to the Soundcloud page, but it's amusing with very much of a Disney "Tiki Room" vibe. Reportedly it's from the next BB album, which is in progress, especially after their Kickstarter campaign reached funded status late last week.

Need to take a dance break? Baby Loves Disco rides (sashays? boogies?) to the rescue, streaming the Baby Loves Disco soundtrack for your family's listening (and booty-shaking) pleasure. Curated by DJ King Britt, it's good stuff, featuring some familiar dance floor tunes like "We Are Family" and "Shake Shake Shake" as well as some new stuff. Stream (or purchase) the album below.
It made my list of 2010's best kids music albums, but in my review of Haley Bonar'sSing With Me EP, I couldn't provide listening links. Bonar's now rectified that -- you can stream the whole darn thing:
And, what's this? Another new album from Bonar?
Given that Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke'sRise and Shine was my second favorite kids music record of 2010, you would expect that I'd treat the news that they'd recorded a couple Christmas tunes for Little Monster Records with great excitement.
Even better, the tunes themselves don't disappoint. You will not dance to another Christmas song with more abandon than to "Sing a Song of Christmas Cheer." And their take on "Silent Night" is somehow simultaneously a little punk and a little reverential. Together they're just $1.29...
And if you're not sure about it all, for the price of an e-mail, pick up "Silent Night" for free using the link below...
Trying to explain Luv Clowns is not the easiest thing to do. Or, rather, doing so makes the project sound really, really odd. Which it isn't. Quite.
So, simply put, Luv Clowns consists of four well-known Memphis musicians - Harlan T. Bobo, Doug Easley, Alex Greene, and Tim Prudhomme - whose album was released late last month on Goner Records. Oh, and they all dress up in clown costumes when performing. I'm not sure if it's a kids music album for adults, or an adult album (relatively) safe enough for kids, but I do know that the song below, "K.I.D.S.," is a bunch of fun. Stream or download it below, courtesy of Goner.
