That's right, it's your chance to listen to "Constellation Conga," a powerful sludge of a hard rock/polka/chillwave tune from Seattle's Recess Monkey... ahhhh, who am I kidding? It's a breezy, danceable tune from their upcoming album The Final Funktier, out June 15. Listen to the song below, courtesy of the band, then listen to a variety of new tunes from the album throughout the weekend... more details here.
Sorry, too late. I'll be posting this track on my radio station soon...

Listen To This: "Crayon Man" - Roy Handy and the Moonshot
Bill played "Space Kitty" on this morning's Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child, so I thought it'd be worth directing you to the other track from Roy Handy and the Moonshot, "Crayon Man" -- if Roy G. Biv is your (or your kid's) best friend, this song is for you. Also, if you (or your kid) like a good power-pop rockin' tune, this song is for you. If you (or your kid) like meowing, this song is not for you.
I've heard more of Handy's music, and I think the full-length, when complete, is gonna have a lot of fans...
Stream Key Wilde and Mr. Clarke's "Rise and Shine" Right Here...
Well, your opportunity to buy the digital download of the Little Monster Records EP Hello, Our Name Is Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke from Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke (natch) has come and gone with the arrival of 2010.
But it's a new year with new opportunities, and the first opportunity is to listen to Rise and Shine, the full-length KWMC debut, in its entirety, right here. It's officially released next week, but Little Monster is offering you, loyal Zooglobble reader, the opportunity to listen before then.
To listen is to like. A lot. 2010 is gonna be a great year.
Oh, sorry, too late.
Listen To This: "With a Smile (It's Christmastime)" - ScribbleMonster
New music from ScribbleMonster, even if it's a re-worked version of a previous release, even if it's holiday-themed and therefore has a somewhat limited shelf life, is always welcome. So get yourself over to the ScribbleStore and download the sweet "With a Smile (It's Christmastime)" for free -- I do so dig multiple singers singing multiple melodies.

Listen To This: "Party Like a Twinkle Star" - Charity and the JAMband
New music from San Francisco's Charity and the JAMband and the best part is you can listen to the whole thing. Following in the steps of the Nields' Rock All Day, Rock All Night, Party Like a Twinkle Star features one up-tempo CD, one down-tempo CD. Or, as Charity puts it, "10 songs for rocking out... 10 songs for tucking in."
You can download the (rocking out, sort of) song "We Are Stardust" for free here. Or just listen to the whole darn thing below. (Click on "Download" to purchase it for $20 from the band.)
Listen To This: "Halloween" - Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke
Some of you (like, er, me) haven't yet finished your Halloween kids music mix CD, but sometimes procrastination pays off. Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke put together a new track titled, simply, "Halloween," which features some mean surf guitar and has offered it to you, my readers, for your listening and downloading pleasure. It's a demo, but sounds pretty good anyway; I'd also note that the very littles may be slightly spooked by the track, but it's fine, really, for kids. And adults, too.
By the way, that digital EP of theirs will be appearing "any day" now, according to Wilde.
