I know I just posted a Hipwaders video a couple days ago, but that was a live version of a new song.
This is a new video for a slightly older song -- "Cat in a Bathysphere" off of Educated Kid -- and it's totally awesome. Art by Anna L. Wagner.
The Hipwaders - "Cat in a Bathysphere"
Video: "The Change Song" - Herbie Treehead
I know. It's dorky, the lip-syncing is problematic, and there's lots of silly costumes.
Still, this video, from England's Herbie Treehead, from his album Sleepy Songs and Not Very Sleepy Songs is not without its charms. (I'm a sucker for a good kazoo break.) The song will appear on European Playground, the next release in the "Playground" series from Putumayo Kids. The album's out May 19th.

It's Like They're Trying To Teach Kids A Particular Word...
... if only I could figure out what it was...
(I'm amused by the Readeez-superimposed ducks at the end.)
Video: "Field Trip" - The Hipwaders
My copy of Goodie Bag, the new EP from the Bay Area band The Hipwaders came packaged with an actual goodie bag, one of the very few promotional schwag items that have actually made me laugh. More thoughts on the EP in the future, but for the moment, you can hear the song "Field Trip" in the video below. The occasional lack of syncing makes it sound a little bit like the studio version dubbed over a live performance, but in any case it's a cool little space-jazzy song (apropos for the subject at hand).

Video: "Monkey River" - Caspar Babypants
This isn't quite as good as "The Island Hop," perhaps, but it's still somewhat amusing, even if you keep waiting for the Statue of Liberty to appear, half-buried. From Caspar Babypants' debut CD (and maybe albums before that) Here I Am!

Friday Night Laziness
Been swamped with stuff and so haven't been able to get to a few larger-scale items (reviews and the like). So I'll resort to the lazy blogger's friend -- YouTube!
Here, another new song from Rocknoceros, captured live. Woo!
Rocknoceros - "Can You Tell Time?" (plus Rocknoceros Theme)
