Animal Jamboree, like every other disc spun off of Dora and Diego's insanely popular Nickelodeon TV shows, isn't the kind of record moms and dads buy to enjoy with their preschoolers. It's more the take-it-into-your-room-and-keep-the-volume-low variety (this despite the presence of several songs that almost no adult can listen to without singing loudly and goofily along: can you resist "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "Joy to the World"?). Leaving aside the obvious affronts to grown-up sensibilities--the flat, loud voices; the interactive elements that refuse to let a sleepy parent slip into a semi-coma while listening; the cheap cheeping in the gratuitously grating "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" song--there's a lot to like here. The skillful blending of Spanish words into every song is by now a Dora and Diego standard, but Animal Jamboree takes it one step further, directing the language lab into the biology classroom. "Crocodile Rock" never seemed so educational and Doctor Doolittle's "Talk to the Animals" loses a lot of its hot air. The kicker, of course, is that kids love it: Present it wrapped in puppy-dog paper to any TV-watching 3-year-old, and see if she doesn't lap it up. --Tammy La Gorce

Catchy songs, happy and upbeat.......2007-05-19

My daughter is a huge Dora fan (she also likes Diego). This CD hit the mark for her and I enjoy it as well. The songs have a good beat and are very cheery and fun. There is just enough of Dora and Diego talking/singing throughout so that she can tell it is a "Dora" product, which is key with a little one who only wants to hear her favorites.

get ready and Jam to beat!.......2007-05-13

The young and old will love this CD! The music is catchy, you can't resist getting on your feet and bouncing to the beat. It's a good combination of adult music, with lyrics for children. It's perfect for parties!

This CD is now our family's favourite! We won't leave home without it - it's a must have in the car!

Great for the Dora/Diego fan.......2006-11-05

My 2 year old son loves this CD. He is a big fan of Diego. The songs are quite catchy and entertaining even for the adult. I highly recommend this cd.

One of the Best CDs for kids.......2006-10-24

This disc doesn't get the attention it deserves. There are so many great things about it. First, I disagree with the original reviewer that the music is one of those toddler discs that make adults go insane. This is actually one of the most adult-friendly kid discs I've heard. If anything, the Dora Soundtrack is a kids only disc. Animal Jamboree has no weird songs that go like, "I love my ball, my bouncy ball. I love my ball, ball, ball, ball, ball!" It's actually music that starts crossing the barriers between kids and adults music. It's very pop/rock (lots of electric guitars in here) with fun, energetic music, some humourous songs, and not too much talking. Plus there's less of Dora's voice and more of the others so it sounds better, since Dora's voice is too shrill.

Also, Joy To The World is NOT the Christmas song, it's a totally different song wishing happiness for all the animals and people in the world.

It retains a lot of the shows' themes, especially, of course, Diego's respect for wildlife. It's nicely arranged with a Hispanic flavour, as well.

The one regret is that is only has 10 songs on it, though I should mention that they are full length songs, not the short ones like on the Dora Soundtrack. So if you get this cd, tell your kid to play it on the family cd player and turn the volume up so you can listen along.

Album Description

Guadalcanal Diary was one of the most underrated bands to come out of the Athens, GA music scene of the 1980s. Their unique brew of lyrics focusing on left-of-center subject matter married to irresistible melodies with a bedrock foundation of thrashing drums and rhythmic bass lines, resulted in a sound that set them apart from their peers R.E.M., Pylon and the B-52's. The two albums on this Audio CD two-fer are the first two of the band's four total major label releases. The first, originally released in 1984, was produced by R.E.M. and Don Dixon. The second, released two years later, was produced by Rodney Mills (.38 Special, Atlanta Rhythm Section) and Steve Nye (XTC, Bryan Ferry, The Cure).

Album Description

Full title - Walking In The Shadow Of The Big Man/Jamboree. Thanks to R.E.M., there was no shortage of Southern guitar pop bands in the early '80s, but Guadalcanal Diary was different from the rest. While their songs and melodies were as melodic and approachable as R.E.M., the Byrds, or any of their imitators, singer/guitarist Murray Attaway's lyrics were bizarre treatises of his favorite obsessions - American history and mythology, religion, and the supernatural. This two on one CD features their first and second albums from 1984& 1986. Collectables. 2003.

A Jamboree in the Big Man's Shadow.......2006-12-07

WOW, what a nice 2 cd set. I really think the way to listen to it is ALL the way thru. "Walking" is such a nice held back set of songs, and then "Jamboree" explodes with so much in the way of mixing and production. I have each one now on separate cd's, and the one with them both. This is all good, but I really love to play the entire double album. They seem to be well paired. While the music is obvious, the lyrics are impeccable!

Took A Gamble and Won Big With This CD.......2006-08-14

I enjoy taking a chance on albums by artists I don't know much about or remember little of. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but it's worth taking a chance. This album is an absolute Winner through and through. I saw this band back in 1988 at a ballroom in Milwaukee that hosted bands that were on the verge of making it, the semi-famous - you get the idea, but that was 18 years ago and after burning many brain cells in those days, I just have a vague recollection of what they were like. I just remembered that they were a great live band. I've always been a fan of Power-Pop, jangly, Rickenbacker-ish sounding bands, and these guys were, from what I can tell from this two-fer, masters at this craft. I can't stand REM and there are the obvious comparisons, but these guys had their own style, and if you are going take a chance on an album, this has got to be one of them. I bought it 3 weeks ago and it hasn't left my CD player since. REM should be opening for this band.

don't be hatin on jamboree!.......2006-03-24

I have read many reviews of 'Jamboree' which are far too harsh. This album is one of the best alternative/college rock albums of the eighties despite a few production issues (hear how the guitar deafens you at the end of 'spirit train'). Songs like Michael Rockefeller, spirit train, dead eyes, pray for rain, fear of god capture a mystery and supernatural quality that few bands can achieve lyrically or musically. 'Big Man' is hit and miss with me- there are several throwaways; and it seems that the band had not quite hit its stride yet. However- Watusi Radio, Trail of Tears and a few others are worth a listen.

Why DO the heathen rage?.......2005-12-20

This stuff rocks like a big dog...Who knows what happened to this band, but in their prime, they were just an amazingly tight, thrashing little combo...Great wise-ass, but metaphysical lyrics...all set to a seamless combination of REMish jingle-jangle and muscular, souped-up Bo Diddleyesque rhythms...absolutely a band that understood the importance of rhythm...I saw them reduce a small nightclub in La. (The Bayou) one night to a sweaty, exhausted, but satisfied mass of weary, hipster flesh...

Watusi Rodeo, in particular, is good for what ails you and never fails to produce a smile.

Watusi Rodeo!!!!.......2005-07-26

Walking in the Shadow.... was a very underrated album, and GD a very underrated band.

Jangly Georgia Pop from the eighties! What more do you want!

Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

Standard Transcription Collection.......2003-04-12

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.

For the adventurous lo-fi indie punk fan........2005-08-10

Yes, Beat Happening is not for everyone. Let's just clear that up now. If you only really enjoy listening to high-quality productions in the vein of nu-metal, teen-pop, rap, etc. (not that ALL of those genres are bad necessarily), then you most likely will NOT enjoy this band's music. However, if you like indie rock, DIY punk, early Velvet Underground, or simply put, music that doesn't really care what the listener's opinion of the music is, than you should really check out Beat Happening.

Beat Happening were Northwest indie rock legends, influencing the music scene in so many ways. Hell, Cobain even went and got a K records tattoo on his arm. And for me, this album is them at their best-and yes, in many respects, also them at their most unapproachable as well.

There are several great punkish tunes here that really rock in the B.H. way: 'Cat Walk', 'Midnight a go-go', and 'Hangman' are all awesome, and want to make you pogo and wave your arms in the air. Heather, of course, contributes a couple of slower, ballady numbers that are very sweet and endearing. 'The This Many Boyfriends Club': you either love this or you think it is the biggest piece of junk ever written. I love it. Out-of-key guitars, background cafe talking, feedback, Calvin singing out of tune-this song is sooo cool.

The true highlight here though, is 'Indian Summer', which by now should be considered a true indie rock classic, being covered by the likes of Luna and Eugenius. There is a simple, timeless perfection about this song. I honestly think that anyone should be able to appreciate and enjoy it.

So, sure, this album is by no means a universal crowd pleaser (Nevermind it is not), but it certainly has its appeal for the right music fans out there. Give it a try: if you enjoy it, then check out Black Candy, which also is awesome, and even darker in tone.

This band SUCKS.......2005-06-21

If you like indiferent out of tune guitar playing and drumming that makes Mo Tucker seem like a virtuoso then this album is for you. The singing and song writing are occasionally interesting but the general atmosphere of boredom and sloppy indifference ruins the experience for me. This sounds as if several of my musically less than talented friends decided to form a band and a week later recorded an album. It's not charming, just weak and one more reason to hate indie pop.

Solid indie rock offering.......2004-04-08

The second full-length release from the Beat Happening (after their self-titled debut and an EP collaboration with Screaming Trees) finds them showing all sides of their collective personality. Jamboree contains eleven songs, due to the punk aesthetic covering only twenty-four minutes, that range from the powerful, catchy "Bewitched" to the seeming test of listener tolerance "The This Many Boyfriends Club."

"Bewitched" begins Jamboree with feedback and some nice grinding fretwork. Calvin Johnson easily holds our attention with the repeated chorus of "I've got a crush on you." I'm consistently amazed at how simple a song can be and still be entertaining, and "Bewitched" is a perfect example; it appears to be composed of only two chords yet is immensely satisfying. Heather Lewis follows with the beach rock-influenced jangle pop of "In Between." I find myself continually drawn to her offerings. Neither of them is a particularly great singer but the difference in Calvin and Heather's vocal styles makes one a respite from the other and doesn't let monotony get in the way of a solid listen.

Calvin returns for another venture into what is essentially Beat Happening's forte: love songs of either nostalgia or longing. The plaintive "Indian Summer" is a highlight of the album, with memorable lyrics and a sweet tone. "Hangman" (along with "Bewitched") show signs of the darkness that would lead to the recording of Beat Happening's next work, Black Candy, with its tale of an executioner who seems to enjoy his job a little too much but otherwise is just a normal Joe. I love it.

Jamboree's title track is actually one of the low points of the album, seeming to have been recorded on the fly, but it's improvisatory feel is charming. It is the first of three tracks that each come in at around a minute. The sound on "Ask Me" has a bit of echo, but Heather's a capella rendering of the musical question "Oh, hey, well okay, aren't you gonna ask me what I did today?" is nonetheless engaging. A fuller production is evident on "Crashing Through," but it still makes a lesser impression than "Ask Me" simply due to the catchy pop feel of the latter.

"Cat Walk" is a distinctly humorous ditty that begins with Calvin observing his girl out with another guy. He doesn't mind ("he's an okay fella," "she's got a bad habit of being pure"), but wishes "she'd leave my sweater home" while doing it. "Drive Car Girl" and "Midnight A Go-Go" are musically similar--the one feels almost like a continuation of the other--with Calvin offering comparable vocalisms. The only difference is that "Midnight" ends with Calvin (and whoever happens to be guitarist on this track--it's not always easy to tell on Beat Happening records) getting a little excited at the end, making it a slight improvement on its predecessor.

The less said about "The This Many Boyfriends Club," however, the better. Playground noises, atonal guitar and Calvin defiantly following an unidentifiable melody combine to make a very unpleasant listening experience--and it's the longest track on the album. It ends with a girl's scream and Calvin throwing the microphone down, just for good measure. Jamboree may be less than half an hour long, but it would be much more enjoyable if this track were completely left off. You've got to say this for the album, though: it puts all its good eggs up front and, realizing that it won't entertain forever, at least attempts to be experimental.

Naughty's Review.......1999-09-08

Although I realize that this song clearly has no ravishing lyrics....its still a jam. For those who are bitter because this song reminds them of hip hop hooray and OPP...I'd just like to say that those were the days that you could go to a party and genuinely have a good time. It was a relief to hear people singing about something everyone can relate to ...rather than things they don't have. Jamboree catches your attention and would make anyone with a shread of "real" party bob their heads...even if just a little bit.

I gotta give some props to this song!.......1999-09-04

I gotta give some props to this song. It's just a fun song with fun lyrics and the video just makes me happy (ah, what I would give to be just in one of those classic rap videos with all the bikini girls and swimming pools). Anyway, too bad this music is pretty much inane lyrically. At least they're not negative though. --Kelly Magovern

Jump Blues Fans MUST Buy This CD.......2001-12-08

Following his freshman effort "Fixin' Your Head," Nick Curran returns to Fort Horton studios in Austin, TX, and once again produces a contemporary jump blues masterpiece. Anyone that felt the first CD was beginner's luck will be convinced that Nick is the real deal with this one. Nick's first CD is a listener favorite on my blues radio show (KNON 89.3 FM Dallas, Mondays 6-8 Central) and this one is just a popular. For the skeptical, I like to play the title cut (Nitelife Boogie) against the origial recording. It's a close, authentic cover, true to the original but not a clone. Nick definitely has that early 50's sound down cold. These two CDs are turning Fort Horton studios into a meca for blues artists around the country. One listen and you will understand why. If you like jump blues in the style of T-Bone Walker, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, Magic Sam, Goree Carter, etc., do yourself a favor and get this CD right away!

As far as people like Nick keep plays the blues in the old tradition of Texas-West Coast, still a Hope!!

"two classic albums in one unique package".......2000-10-25

What more can be said about this talented artist, who was influenced by Oscar Petersen, has come up with his own outstanding and original style. Recording more than a score of excellent albums, this his latest release is a 2-CD set combining soulful, hard-bopping jazz with Jamaican calypsos and West Indian grooves. Alexander, Jamaican born pianist shares his contagiously enjoyable style with two of his best - "Ivory & Steel" and "Jamboree", now in one package "Island Grooves".

Note, Alexander's Jamaica fueled jazz piano pyrotechnics, the distinctively west Indian sound of the steel drums and an eclectic collection of songs...ranging from calypso-infused jazz standards to Alexander originals, with creative twists on traditional Jamaican songs.

Hey there, Latin jazz and world music fans, get out there and pick up this vibrant and colorful collection, sure to brighten up your already growing collecton of the "Best Jazz"...ANYWHERE!
