Video: "Field Trip" - The Hipwaders

I know I already posted a video for this song by The Hipwaders a couple weeks ago. But it's going to be a little while before I can get all the video, etc for this weekend's shows up. So look at it as making an early withdrawal in the great overall YouTube karma. The animations are a little odd, but it sorta fits the song, which, as I said the first time around, is kinda "space-jazzy." The Hipwaders - "Field Trip"

Video: Cat O' Nine Tales - Captain Bogg & Salty

Well, Portland, Oregon's Captain Bogg & Salty have a new album coming out soon (Emphatical Piratical), and while there's no word regarding a new video for the album, the band's posted an animated video for "Cat O' Nine Tales" from their debut album Bedtime Stories For Pirates. Besides a groan-inducing rhyme including "Virgil and Homer," it's a jaunty pop tune that seems to have been preserved in amber for, like 35 years. It's no "Pieces of 8ight", but what is?

Video: "The Pink Whale" - Shana Berry

I gotta tell you, usually when I hear from an artist with a new album, I have a pretty good idea what to expect, good or bad. There's little mystery. And then there's The Fofers, a project from Maine's Shana Berry. Berry describes her new album thusly:
On A Pink Whale and a Very Tall Tree, I sing (and play guitar and a little bit of uke) about an island called Fof, inhabited by the multi-colored furry Fofers (rhymes with gophers), who climb magical trees into the clouds and ride their bikes on Rollercoaster Road.
And if you watch the video Berry animated for "The Pink Whale" below, I think you'll be intrigued. I am, and I don't even have the album yet. It is, at the least, even if you don't like it at all, one of the more unique projects out there. Shana Berry - "The Pink Whale"

Video: "Cool To Be Uncool" - The Jimmies

I already wrote about this video once - sort of - but the finished product shows that while there may be others who create unique and interesting videos, there is absolutely nobody in the kids music field that creates videos with the same love and attention (and, hey, probably budgets, too) as The Jimmies. Their latest effort, "Cool To Be Uncool," I like to think was filmed in the actual bedroom set for The Princess Bride. It's from their forthcoming DVD Trying Funny Stuff, which'll feature 6 videos, a live concert, other stuff, and a live CD of the concert. Go over to their video page to see all of their videos (or if Flash gives your computer a headache, go see the YouTube version) and go here to pre-order the DVD at a discount until Sunday.
