As previously noted, Elizabeth Mitchell will be releasing her next family music album, Sunny Day, later this year, October 5, to be exact. And she's just released a super-cute video for one of the tracks on the new disk, "Oh, John the Rabbit." You can view the video here. It's pretty simple, with Elizabeth, Daniel, Storey, bunnies, and a bunch of other kids. "John the Rabbit" is a pretty classic call-and-response song, one that Mitchell recorded on her very first kids album, You Are My Flower. Storey wasn't even born when that album was released more than a decade ago; to have her join in on this version seems pretty cool.
Anyway, if you like the video, you can also download the mp3 from that page as well for the price of an e-mail.
Update: The video's now on YouTube...

The Bazillions make a video for the best song off their debut album Rock-n-Roll Recess. It's cute, and will also teach your kid what 9 x 7 is. So, win.

I know, I posted this video from Key Wilde & Mr. Clarkeonce already a few months back, but I haven't had the best luck watching the videos, including this one, on the Topspin widget. YouTube doesn't fail me, though... and, hey, it's always fun to go back and rediscover videos you haven't seen for three months. It's akin to that toy you hid from your three-year-old and brought out a few weeks later. Like new, right?

A few weeks back, I suggested, almost offhandedly that Readeez mastermind Michael Rachap should hook up with the fine folks at Coal Train Railroad. It was mostly flippant, so imagine my surprise when I heard that CTR and Rachap were working on a video together. Of course, Rachap's working on "Moneyeez" (my term), and CTR have their podcast, so they're busy folks, no doubt.
The result came out late last week, and it's nifty. I really dig the exploding/rotating cherries. (And the song is still fun.) As for me, I promise to use my power for good, not evil.

Here's the second of two Secret Agent 23 Skidoo videos from his forthcoming Underground Playground album. (Here's "Chase the Rain".) Who knew that Skidoo had friends in Cirque du Soleil? This is a story/imagination song more along the lines of "Hot Lava."
