"Out Standing" - Hullabaloo

Artist: Hullabaloo

Song: "Out Standing"

Album: Raise a Ruckus (to be released September 2012)

Description: Lead Hullabaloo-ster Steve Denyes shows that it's possible to have fun with a mere sprinkler in this video for the country-folk celebration of getting wet.  (As a desert resident lacking a pool, I can relate.)  I am worried about some of those instruments, though.

Song: "Wheels in the City"

Album: Wheels in the City

Description: Collage meets chant.  The video has a very Shrinky-Dink feel to me.  (A good thing.)  Also a Sesame Street feel to me.  (Also a good thing.)
