Batman - The Exclusive Original Soundtrack Album


How can you not love this? What a great, I would have bought it for the cover alone. Not eeven having to mention the great tunes. Whoa, it's makes me feel young again.....for a minute at least. Lots of cool grooves and snappy dialogue.


BANG! PIFF! KAPOW! the links are where you'd imagine they'd be..

Sesame Street - 'Numbers' (vinyl rip)


Is there anyone else who will give you the funk from Parliament and then hit you with Sesame Street next? Not likely - and it's because DaddyRich cares about your brain as well as getting your asses groovin'. I believe anyone under 40 owes a great debt to the likes of Jim Henson and Frank Oz for making learning so fun in the mid 70's and 80's, especially old farts like myself. Their legacy is rich with imagination and love of wonder that helps us remain child-like without being childish. I am forever in their debt and am grateful every time one of my boys has learned something with their help.

Various Artists - Newest Nicktoons


Okay, so none of these are really 'new' Nicktoons anymore but it's got some great stuff on it. At one time or another I have been ensconced on a couch with at least one of my boys enjoying these shows. Those of us here without kids will definitely want to skip this one. This one is for errie who has been so kind in remembering to send thanks for all the kids discs. I really miss some of these shows that they no longer air - like Hey Arnold and CatDog. More to come, especially for the younger ones. Thanks for coming by and hope you all enjoy.

Spidey - Super Stories


Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am quite the comic book geek and I am fine with that. This is one of those Marvel Comics "Adenture Records" from the 1970's which play pretty much like a cartoon without the television. Many of us who were young children in the 1970's did not have televisions in our rooms so this was as close as many of us got. It's 2 great things in one - Spidey and Vinyl!!! You cannot go wrong.

The Muppet Show - 25th Anniversary Collection : Music, Mayhem & More!


Who among us (old farts, that is) doesn't fondly recall the family gathering around the old television around dinner time to watch The Muppets? A very warm memory for most all of us. Although as I grew older I didn't really get too much out of the Muppet Movies after the first 2. I grew wiser and realized why I did not get anything was because I was no longer their target audience (sigh), thus an official 'old fart'. I have half-a-mind to go and buy the dvd set of this wonderful series but it is, at the moment, QUITE cost-prohibitive. Until I can get those, this music will suffice and bring a smile whenever played - and I hope it will do the same for you and yours.

Various Artists - Brats On The Beat: Ramones For Kids


These kids discs totally kick ass over what we had when I was a pup. The kind folks at SFRP had this available and Daddy could not resist sharing it here with you fine folks. Here's a little blurb -

"is Ramones cover album is by Go-Kart Records (USA/EUROPE). It's titled Brats On The Beat: Ramones For Kids. CD contains Ramones classics done by people like Jim Lindberg of the Pennywise, Blag Dahlia of The Dwarves, Nick Oliveri of the Mondo Generator/ ex-Queens Of The Stone Age etc. Songs have been "kidified" by the Gabba Gabba Hey Singers. Each song features kids singing all the choruses and background parts."

And what is even better is that a portion of the proceeds go to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital - they do amazing work and help the kids who need it most. So you are hereby ordered to download this and give it a test drive then go and buy it.

1.Blitzkrieg Bop - Jim Lindberg (Pennywise)
2.Rock And Roll High School - Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio)
3.California Sun - Brett Anderson (The Donnas)
4.Do You Remember Rock'N'Roll Radio? - Greg Attonito (Bouncing Souls)

Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions Of Radiohead


This right here is what's known as a 'capital idea' - I want to shake the hand of whoever thought of these. There is a series of these with music by groups like The Cure, Weezer and many others. My oldest was born the same year 'OK Computer' was released and I thought, even then, how wonderfully melodic it was and played it quite often when we were together (as in 'always') and he really enjoyed it. The blurb on their page says

"Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. The delicate sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone, and other instruments will lull your little one into a sweet slumber. These versions of Radiohead are sophisticated enough for people of all ages, but sweet enough to introduce your child to rock’s smartest band. Their album Kid A imagines the scope and power of music created by a newborn child. What will your baby dream about while drifting off to these serene interpretations of Radiohead’s best-loved songs?"

Please support these enterprising folks and purchase many of their discs - they are doing a great service.

1 No Surprises
2 Let Down (Daddy's favorite Radiohead song, in case you were wondering...)
3 Subterranean Homesick Alien
4 Airbag
5 Paranoid Android
6 Knives Out
7 Karma Police
8 There There
9 Everything in Its Right Place
10 2 + 2 = 5
11 Sail to the Moon
