Time to add some new music to the
Zooglobble Radio Station. This playlist airs in the mid-afternoons (West Coast time) and includes tracks from some of the disks that have crossed my desk over the past couple months (mostly, anyway -- I wanted to include Daisy Mayhem and Haley Bonar -- so sue me). There are some tracks from forthcoming albums -- Recess Monkey, StarFish, Sugar Free Allstars. Even if you can't listen in the afternoon, the tracks are scattered throughout the day, too.

The Big Picture
Due to internet radio restrictions, the playlist is in shuffle mode on the station -- songs are listed here in alphabetical order (according to iTunes, which doesn't like last names so much).

I listened to Dick Huggins, who had a rockabilly show. I'd listen with the covers over my head at midnight. He played early R&B -- "forbidden music." There's was a joy sharing that with my big brothers.
Eventually I came around to James Brown, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino...
Tell me about how you got into the kids music genre...
I remember that after Leap of Faith, Danny, my executive at Sony called me and I said I wanted my next album to be Return to Pooh Corner. He said no, but I insisted.
