KidVid Tournament 2008: They Might Be Giants vs. David Tobocman
Let's start off the 2nd week of KidVid Tournament 2008 with a battle for supremacy in the Leadbelly Region -- the #1 seed They Might Be Giants' "Seven Days of the Week (Never Go To Work)" (from their recently-released Here Come the 123s CD/DVD) taking on the #2 seed, David Tobocman and his track "Home" (from I Count to Ten and Other Helpful Songs, also recently released).
Go forth, watch both videos, then You. Make. The. Call. (Or, rather, vote in the comments below by 9 PM Thursday night. Vote once per family. Play nice, y'all.)
They Might Be Giants - "Seven Days of the Week (Never Go To Work)"
David Tobocman - "Home"
Yes, There is a KidVid Tournament Matchup Today...
Some days just get away from you, so there's no KidVid Tournament 2008 matchup here... but....
Go here and vote on the Jimmies' "Spanimals" vs. Orange Sherbet's "Campfire Song" for supremacy in the Woody Guthrie Region bracket.
Go, go now! Voting 'til 9 PM tonight.
If you are having problems voting over there, please post here and let me know! (I won't post the comments, but I do read them.)
Update #2: I've been told that people are not verifying themselves as being real. I know you're all real, but I think there's a follow-up step that you need to do after you've registered -- I think that's an e-mail, but I forget. In any case, check your e-mail for verification e-mails from Offsprung.
You Can Never Have Too Many Biscuit Brothers CDs
OK, maybe you can, but seeing as the fabulous Biscuit Brothers (no, not the fabulous Baker Brothers, that was a movie) just have 3 CDs, they're a ways away from that limit.
In just a couple weeks, though, they'll be ever-so-slightly closer there as they'll be releasing their fourth CD, Musical Farm. Their newsletter (which includes a free download of the math-friendly "Watermelon Song") says they'll be releasing the CD (which includes 7 music videos) on April 2.
Woo. Hoo.
I'm My Biggest Fan
Actually, until today I was my only fan.
But, yes, now the Zooglobble Facebook page has two fans -- me and Muddy Girl Productions' honcho Karen Rappaport McHugh.
Wait? What's that? Zooglobble has a Facebook page? But why?
I have no idea. Much like I have no idea why I got a Myspace page. But I've had it for about 3 months now. If you're looking for someone who will tentatively embrace a website a good 18 months after it becomes popular, I'm your guy. Watch for the Zooglobble Flickr page this fall and Twitter site in spring 2009.
Anyway, if you're around, do stop by.
KidVid Tournament 2008: After The Dust Has Settled (Round 1)
So the first round of KidVid Tournament 2008 is in the books, and much like the men's and women's basketball tournaments, we've seen our share of close calls, blowouts, and slightly humorous beer ads.
OK, so "no" on the beer ads.
Anyway, this week we'll have the second round of voting to find the most popular kids' music video of the past 12 months. Thanks to everyone who voted last week. Upcoming this week will see...
Ella Jenkins Region: #1 Renee And Jeremy - "It's A Big World" vs. #2 Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke - "I Had a Little Dog"
Leadbelly Region: #1 They Might Be Giants - "Seven Days a Week (I Never Go To Work)" vs. #2 David Tobocman - "Home"
Pete Seeger Region: #1 Gustafer Yellowgold - "Pinecone Lovely" vs. #3 Mr. Richard - "Cheese"
Woody Guthrie Region: #1 The Jimmies - "Spanimals" vs #2 Orange Sherbet with Hot Buttered Rum - "Campfire Song"
When will voting start? You'll just have to wait and find out...
