Always good to have another Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke video. This one's for "One Fat Frog" off their much-beloved Rise and Shine album. The fat frog is by far the most sane and low-key animal in this motley collection of lightly animated sketches.

Caspar Babypants and Charlotte Blacker, back together again for kindie video goodness. Last time it was knitted bears, this time it's collage-y grungy worms. It's for "Too Dirty to Love" (featuring vocals from Rachel Flotard), off the brand-new and excellent CB album I Found You!.

You know, they had me at the kids playing horns. But the first video from the Not-Its new album Kidquake! also features slow-motion video, sped-up video, and most-importantly, a song that serves as its own alarm clock. Squeeze this one in. (Via Red Tricycle)

I tell you, if this video from Steve Weeks for a brand new song of his, "Change of Heart," doesn't put a smile on your face, then I just don't know what to do with you. Once again, a reminder that simple videos -- as long as they're put together competently -- can be very effective.

I think most observers would agree that Tim and the Space Cadets' "Superhero" video was one of the most stunning debut videos in modern kids music -- excellent tune, great production values, fun video all around.
So I wondered whether or not the long-in-the-making second video from the band for their new song "2nd Grade Show" (off Anthems for Adventure, out January 29th) would even come close to the impact of the first video.
Question answered: yes, mostly.
I think I like "Superhero" the song more than "2nd Grade Show," but in terms of the video itself, its scope and shininess, it's every bit its predecessor's equal. As someone who never watched the TV series Lost, I'm sure I missed 80% of the references to the show in the video, but I guess I'm proof that you (or your kids) can enjoy it even if you don't know your Hurley from your Smoke Monster.
