Product Description

This CD features fun songs from many of America's leading children's musicians and other well-known artists. Years ago people used to get together with family and friends to make music. Gathered around the fireplace or sitting on the front porch, people of all ages would pull out instruments ans sing traditional songs that had been passed down from previous generations. This is the very essence of folk music, and its legacy continues on with Folk Playground. Some of the songs included are Hop Up Ladies, Froggie Went a-Courtin', and It's All How You Look At It.

Amazon.com

Putumayo's consistently top-drawer producers probably encountered fewer obstacles combing the globe for exotic artists to include in their World Playground disc than in concocting excitement over Folk Playground. For one thing, Dan Zanes has been cranking out excellent folk-flavored records for kids alongside his battalion of big-name friends for years--even though he's included here ("Hop Up Ladies"), he's still tough competition. There's also the still-relevant (and superb) kids' folk discs Circle Game: Folk Music for Kids and A Child's Celebration of Folk Music to slow demand. Finally, you can't blame a parent for being reluctant to fork over more money for a folk disc when he'd just as soon share his old Dylan discs or Bruce Springsteen's recent We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. That Folk Playground plays like a vital addition to any kids' collection, then, says a lot about this label's ability to distill even the most meandering of genres. Part of it, as with every disc in the Playground series, is the packaging: Not only is it pretty to look at and flip-friendly, each song arrives with a breezy, un-boring explanation. But the music speaks loudest. Standouts on a disc that doesn't shy away from regional folk strands include Eric Bibb's soul-steeped "Just Look Up," Elizabeth Mitchell's gorgeously honest-sounding "Crawdad," Leon Redbone's grown-up sounding "Polly Wolly Doodle," and the Zanes track. --Tammy La Gorce

good for all ages.......2007-03-08

My 17 month old son and I both love this album! His favorites include Got No Strings (which he recognizes as the "cuckoo" song), his buddy Dan Zanes with Hop Up Ladies, and the Crawdad song. Mommy's favorite is the Sheep song, which she keeps finding herself humming (and, all right, dancing to) at work! After heavy rotation in the car, it still hasn't shown its wear, and has opened us up to many wonderful new artists. This is a winner!

beautiful and fun .......2007-01-13

my daughters loved all the songs on this, (especially the great sheep song), we went out and bought it for a nephew after her heard ours and he loved it too. We always sing along in the car!!! Michelle Shocked has always been an adult favorite, and her "got no strings" hooked my girls, made us look for the entire childrens album she made.

Delightful.......2006-06-30

High quality productions, accomplished artists, fun songs! My grandchildren and I are thoroughly enjoying this CD.

Not Sure What They Were Going For, Yet Still Passable.......2006-07-30

Kix took a step back with "Cool Kids." While not a bad album, there are only traces of hard rock in the sound and Kix sounds confused over what they hope to accomplish. For some reason, synthesizers are prevalent, which did not really go well with their sound. "Mighty Mouth" and "For Shame" are the only songs that would fit on any of their other albums, and "Get Your Monkeys Out" could be the best cut, if it were allowed to rock out a bit more. The fun vibe is still obvious in the songs, though. Despite an unworthy followup to the excellent debut, the album is not without some merit, and even with questionable material, Kix retained their crown as party rock champions.

more new-wave sounding garbage.......2003-02-15

c'mon "body talk","loco-emotion" what is this...? these guys got so much better after this but this one and the one before this were 4th graders making music in their bedrooms. as one reviewer put it laughable and rightfuly so. get the ones after this which sound so much like the hard rock/metal that was popular then this is....

WAY COOL KIDS.......2003-02-13

This was Kix's pop move.

Just because I said POP move, don't run away. "Cool Kids" was the kind of pop HARD rock that was all over the air waves during the 80's hair band craze. It's a shame that the first half of this disc didn't get the obvious radio play it so richly deserved. Kix had that snappy hook delivery down better than many of their platinum peers. Granted, the title song and accompanying video got some MTV play, and the Atlantic seaboard played the single "Body Talk" half to death. The wave didn't spread, though, and Kix was left on the road to capture more converts.

"Cool Kids" is divided into two distinct halves. There is the the radio ready first half, as exemplified by "Body Talk" and "Loco-Emotion." The keyboards sound forced and the duck quack guitars on "Body Talk" really don't belong there. That doesn't distract that these are still crackerjack rock tunes. They're only teasers to lead us to the heavy half of the album. You could tell you're in for something rougher when Steve Whiteman's screaming intro to "Mighty Mouth" gives way to some fiery guitar. The groove continues with "Let Your Monkeys Out." This "Stranded In The Jungle" styled selection was a live favorite during Kix concerts, but even more of a show grabber was the band's first ballad, "For Shame." Tender and lacking in pretension, this was a stripped down acoustic pleasure before going "un-plugged" was cool. One of these days, this track will be discovered by some movie producer who needs an 80's love ballad for a period piece, and it will become the radio hit it has always deserved to be. And then you get the album's closer, "Restless Blood." Kix's hard rocking bar band roots come through loud and clear here. It's the kind of pounding guitar track that closes an album and leaves you thirsty for more!

"Cool Kids" didn't bring Kix to the mainstream, but it wasn't for a lack of material. If the production on the first half of the record wasn't so gimmickry, this would have been a five star album in the same league as the debut.

laughable.......2003-01-10

After reading such laudable reviews for this album I just had to hear the 30 second clips. I do believe any one of those songs could be playing while the credits rolled for revenge of the nerds or some teen angst movie of the 80's. What a waste of 5 minutes.

laughable.......2003-01-10

After reading such laudable reviews I figured I'd hear the 30 second samples. I believe every one of those songs could fit in nicely while the credits were rolling for revenge of the nerds 3. Truely a waste of 5 minutes.

Even Baby's Love Them.......2006-07-08

My baby Casey was 10 months old, unable to walk, but she could stand against the couch and shake her legs to "Big, Bad, Billy." My Church gave me inspirtation to help with our outreach ministry. My family loves to sing along with "Go Fish."

Warning to Parents.......2006-01-10

Music is upbeat but content is deceiving. It appears to be a Christian tape, but some songs were disturbing. "Lady Bug" is about a little boy that fries bugs with a magnifying glass. The majority of the song focuses on gross details with a brief tag that the boy is a thug. (Little boys are more likely to pick up on the how too's of bug incineration.) Very concerned with "My own Church". It encourages the mindset that corporate worship is on the same level as going to a circus. It is disrespectful and in poor taste. The artists are talented, but trying to appear not to take their faith too seriously so they appeal to secular market as well. Dissappointing at best, if you were looking for a good Christian cd.

This group of guys are awesome and a great inspiration to our children and people everywhere. What a great spirited bunch of guys spreading such a positive message. They are super role models and a joy to listen to. You go Go Fish Guys!

These Atlanta, Georgia, pops can rock! Stay-at-home-dad John Boydston and Walt Brewer (ex-Jody Grind) have cleverly blended their passions for parenting and rock & rolling with the supergroovy Daddy à Go-Go release, Cool Music for Cool Kids. Tackling subject matter ranging from the merits of brushing your teeth to the pleasures of fatherhood to carpooling and diaper changing, Daddy à Go-Go fills the gap for hip parents and kids with a hankering for something cooler and more substantive than Barney, edgier than Raffi. Daddy à Go-Go makes jubilant jangle-pop recalling the '80s heyday of Athens, Georgia, as well as '60s three-chord pop. "I Can Swing By Myself" and "Ants in My Pants" are infectious bass-heavy twang-rockers, and the carpool song kicks some serious Neil Young-style booty. Instrumentals such as "The Thang from Planet Twang," "Chop 'Till You Drop," and "Glad to Be a Dad" are surf and rockabilly inflected explorations in sound and the boogie that follows. From Boydston's delightful originals to the Dads' covers of themes from Scooby Doo and Speed Racer, Daddy à Go-Go does a family good. --Paige La Grone

Album Description

"Cool Songs for Cool Kids" is Daddy A Go Go's first CD and was named to Amazon.com's first ever Top 10 Best Kids Records of the Year List (1999) and continues to be a favorite among Daddy a Go Go fans. All Music Guide writes: "Cool Songs for Cool Kids is a great introduction to Daddy a Go-Go's cool sound. The title of Daddy a Go-Go's debut Cool Songs for Cool Kids tells most of the story behind the album, though it leaves out the key ingredient of its appeal: the cool dads that comprise Daddy a Go-Go. Walt Brewer and John Boydston mix elements of surf, rockabilly, bubblegum, and classic rock and playful themes into 15 fun songs for kids and parents. Rough, jangly covers of the theme songs to Scooby Doo and Speed Racer, surfy instrumentals like "The Thang From Planet Twang," and witty originals like "Dads in the Sky" and "Daddy's Diaper Blues" reflect the different sides of Daddy a Go-Go's fun, unique style." Its a kids record that doesn't talk down to kids (or to parents) and begins the Daddy a Go Go tradition of never insulting anyone's intelligence, while keeping it fun. Daddy a Go Go has 5 CD's, so check out Daddy A Go Go's other 4 CD's here at Amazon.com, starting with the 2006 release "Eat Every Bean and Pea On Your Plate," one of Amazon.com's Top 10 Best Kids CD"s of the Year Choices. Also Parents Choice Award Winner "Monkey In The Middle," which was also named to Amazon.com's Top 10 Best Kids Records of the Year in 2000. "Big Rock Rooster" expands Daddy a Go Go's notion of rock and roll for the family with rom covers of Allan Sherman's "Hello Muddah,Hello Faddah" and a punchy version of "Come On Get Happy", to fun clever originals like "I Wanna Be An Action Figure" and "I Think I Might Be a Dog." And in 2004 Daddy A Go Go won a 2nd Parents Choice Award with "Mojo A Go Go - Real Rock For Kids" CD, which was again named to Amazon.com's Top 10 Best Kids CD's The Year List. Check out these other CD's as well, and look for Daddy A Go Go's 5th CD release in spring 2006. Check them all out.

Did not like this at all..........2007-02-06

I was very disappointed in this album. I bought it after reading the reviews, many of which stated that this album was one they enjoyed listening to as much as their kids. In my opinion, it sounds very canned and synthy. But it just might be my taste. I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth Mitchell, whose instrumentation is very minimal and whose songs really stand on the vocals and the lyrics. Daddy a Go-Go's songs are too chaotic for me!

fun songs.......2005-08-24

This is a fun dance CD. We haven't tried it in the car yet, but we have a great time singing the ABC's and my favorite, Speed Racer.

Parent-Friendly Kids' Music.......2000-12-30

This is one of only a few of our kids' cds that my husband & I don't mind hearing over & over. The kids are three & five, and, of course, want to hear the same cd again and again - this one is actually tolerable even if you've already heard it five times that day....it's also good for getting the kids moving - it's very danceable.

We love this CD!.......2000-09-10

This is a great CD. My 3-year-old daughter can't help but dance when she hears it. The first time I played it, she sang the alphabet to the "Alphabet Song". It's great to find such a fabulous collection of kids' music all on one CD. We played the CD 3 times the first day we had it. Buy this one!

Fun Music for All Ages!.......2000-03-14

We bought this album because we wanted music that the whole family could enjoy, an does it deliver! Often with children's music the songs can get pretty boring after awhile. This CD is full of fun dance tunes and even throws in a little lesson on personal hygiene with "brush your teeth!". Our three year old has been listening and dancing to it since he was 21 months old. We know our 3 month old will love it too. We can't wait for more from these Go-Go Daddies!

Customer Reviews:

Actually......,.......2006-10-28

the reason he incorporates streching, shrugging, flexing, etc into the songs is because the purpose of the CD is to give children a physical workout. It's really a CD geared towards fitness & the music is sopposed to be secondary to the workout.

Not great.......2004-02-12

I would really like this CD a lot if there weren't an annoying direction giver on it. He has a very monotone voice and tells you what to do the whole time. If you are a fitness instructor with any experience, you could do much better on your own. And he really ruins the chicken dance---anyone who knows the chicken dance knows that you don't nod your head and shrug your shoulders in it. Could be much better, I'm very disappointed.

Product Description

Nerdcore Rising is the feverishly anticipated debut album from MC Frontalot. Alas, it is not the tonic to make that fever subside; each listening ignites further desperation for Front's inimitable dorkery. Includes six brand new tracks and ten re-recorded fan favorites, featuring the beatwork of Baddd Spellah, Doctor Popular, and DJ Earflaps, the exceptional funksomeness of Front's studio/touring band (Gm7, Black Lotus, and The Categorical Imperative), and guest appearances by Jesse Dangerously and MC Stephen Hawking. Awarded thirteen out of ten stars by Math Error Quarterly.

Updates aren't always a good thing.......2007-01-22

I always wanted to give Penny Arcade a big kiss and hug for introducing me to Mr. Frontalot. How cool it was to hear respectable rhymes rooted so deeply in geek culture. Where else will you hear a deftly crafted tune that lampoons Star Wars ubergeeks and giggles at internet fetish porn, all at the same time? The spearhead of the "nerdcore" genre is where. A great deal of Frontalot's appeal, for me, was the picture of one guy, sitting at his PC, churning out music that was actually good enough to give some current acts a run for their money. Thing is, part of that appeal also laid in how....real it sounded. Raw, like it wasn't over-produced, upbeat and catchy. Then came the CD....

Proud to support a great artist, and thrilled to have all of my favorite tunes on an official disc, I popped it in and said...."Huh?" What's with all the remakes? Songs that had the cool vibe of a geek just being cool are now very laid back, almost boring. Instead of being fun, they're now "arty" (for lack of a better term), with the upbeat backgrounds replaced with a mellow, retooled sound. Where did the fun go? Why do the original rhymes sound so out of place in some of the new mixes? I haven't touched the disc since. Don't get me wrong. He still fronts the most, and I support him every step of the way. But, the CD is going to stay in its case. I'll be spinning the burn of the original songs instead.

If you don't know the original stuff, try the CD. You might dig it. If you are an old fan, you might want to sample some of the remixed stuff first. See what you think. Actually, get the CD anyway. Show the guy some support. Just be ready to download the classics from his site, if the new sound doesn't strike you.

MC Frontalot, you're so hardcore!.......2007-01-15

If you don't know how awesomely funny MC Frontalot is, you're really missing out. And if you *do* know how awesome he is and you haven't bought this disc yet, shame on you! Don't you know he needs you to buy his CD so he can buy food?

The revolution has begun.......2007-01-11

For too long "hip-hop" has been polluting the airwaves with misogyny and the glamorising of violence and anti-intellectualism. There was a time when rap/hip-hop was about something other than "bitches" and "bling". There was a time when it had a message and an intelligence behind it. But that time has gone.

Thankfully nerdcore; the "ironic juxtaposition of two very disparate cultures"* has arrived and maybe just maybe will "rise up and become elevated". And hopefully it will have the same effect on so called "gansta-rap" as "Ggrunge" did to "cock-rock". That is to destroy it! Or at least poke it with irony until it appeared ridiculous. Unfortunately that may never happen because even if nerdcore breaks into the main stream, the fact that it is being led by mainly white rappers will prevent it having and serious effect on mainstream rap. So fingers crossed some awesome black nerdcore rapper comes along very soon.

But until then anyone who enjoys the vibe of rap/hip-hop but dislikes the content of the current blend should enjoy this. Especially if you have geek tendencies. MC Frontalot brings humour, politics and intelligence to rap in a way that few have ever done before. The god father of nerdcore? Well he coined the term at least. This is excellent stuff.

Anyone who enjoys this should check out MC Lars next.

* Quote from Weird Al Yankovic

godfather of nerdcore.......2006-10-20

"Never has a little boy sat so alone at his computer and busted out such inconceivably thick rhymes. MC Frontalot has tapped the zeitgeist. It is with good reason that he is so very famous and rich." - Noam Chomsky

Well, maybe not but Frontalot is truly fun stuff that speaks to me. I've been sliding off music for the past couple of years. I dip my toes in every once in a while but nothing's really been exciting. Not in the way that the Pixies or Joy Division or the Police captured my imagination. Then, one day, I stumbled across a mention of Frontalot on slashdot. Looking him up, I became immediately addicted. Sad as it may seem, the material really resonates. I struggle a bit using that word, because you should only used in conjunction with life-threatening events masquerading as nostalgia. Yet, there it is. I gamed. I made fun of the lesser geeks who (just) played Magic. I recall my parents' disco tendencies. I had an Atari 800XL. I'm friends with grown adults who inhabit sci-fi conventions. I've lusted after goth girls, and it's possible that I've downloaded porn sometime in my life. So yeah, his stuff resonates. Just remember - he's not parody, just really funny.

(Footnote: I don't lump frontalot in the same league as Joy Division et al, but I do include him in the group of bands I've emotionally reacted to.)

Relegating the Wiggles to the Dustbin of History.......2007-01-27

After being a DJ when The Clash was putting out London Calling, seeing the Gang of Four for a $1 admission fee at The Bayou in Washington, DC and interviewing The Edge of U2 in St. Louis, MO when they were playing a club show prior to opening the next day for J Geils (1982), it's hard to get excited about children's music for your kids many years later. You can't exactly take your kid to a Minor Threat or X show in a bad part of town (but my kids do like the B-52's). So all these years later, my wife dragged me to the Tom Chapin show for the third year in a row, and while he was pleasant and the songs were nice, it was getting a little old. Justin Roberts CD's are pretty good mostly because my kids are having a good time but don't think that I am going to be camping out for concert tickets any time soon. The Wiggles were fun to watch with my kid on TV but let's face it, the lyrics stink. And the Wiggles aren't nearly as entertaining as Rocko's Modern Life or Spongebob. The theme song from Fairly Odd Parents smokes any Wiggles tune. So what were the suits at Disney thinking?

Fortunately, in the long run, quality triumphs over all else. And the Sippy Cups have quality and plenty of it. Some reviewers think that their music is more appealing to adults than kids. Not so Joe. I have been to see the Cups and the kids are up dancing and having a good time. In fact more people danced at the Sippy Cups show than the last time I saw REM at Shoreline Ampitheatre a few years back. The Sippy Cups are basically the first band to be unafraid of taking a back catalogue of nearly forty years of rock history and introducing it to your kids. Shouldn't your kids know something about the Velvet Underground? I guess one of the best ways to describe the Sippy Cups and especially their show is as though the Talking Heads decided to do a children's benefit show and have the kids watch it. So even though I have been dropping all these references to the past, it is merely descriptive. What is certain is that as the Sippy Cups evolve, they will certainly be as original as the Monkees were in their day. So when you see them on the telly, think about all of the corporate types who will be kicking themselves for not having jumped on the Sippy Cup bandwagon when they had a chance.

You really don't want your kid to be listening to the Pussycat Dolls and Paris Hilton when he or she gets a little older, do you? The Sippy Cups will help you prevent that unfortunate outcome.

Best kids music--ever!.......2006-12-30

I hate kids music, and until The Sippy Cups came along I refused to play it anywhere except in the kids' rooms. This CD has earned a place in my iPod! Excellent, amusing covers of adult tunes. Check out their website, [...], to buy the CD (or go to CDBaby) until Amazon starts stocking it.

Simply Amazing!.......2002-05-18

I have to admit, some tributes are hit or miss -- you may like some tracks, but some of the covers may sound flat or uninspired, falling short of originals' level of quality -- BUT NOT SO HERE.

With this release, the opposite is true. The songs take a new life of their own and the end result is a genuine treasure. I've bought my share of instro tributes, but this one is better than all.

The reason? I have to guess that it's got a lot to do with The Shadowy Men's status as one of the forefathers of the third wave of Surf Instro, and being a seminal band in both the US and Canada.

Don't miss out on this one.

For Kids?.......2006-11-29

By the look of the children on the CD cover this is geared to 4-7 year olds. Janis Joplin on a kids CD? The lyrics in some of the songs are questionable. "Be gentle with me, I'm not as young as I was." "What full lips you have they shouldn't lure someone bad." I wouldn't want my five year old listening to this.

EDITED to say. I hit 1 star and it came up 5.

What's wrong with this picture?.......2006-11-29

I like how they super imposed her face onto the album. Yet again, another mixed CD she's trying to get people to buy when they can most certainly create one for FREE in their own cozy homes! If I meet anyone who pays for this CD I will personally slap them in the head for being stupid.
