Moving on today to the Leadbelly Region of KidVid Tournament 2009, we have the top seed, They Might Be Giants' contribution to the better-than-I-expected Disney Music Block Party collection (would only that the party itself lasted so long), "The Ballad of Davy Crockett in Outer Space," going up against Shana Berry and her video for "The Pink Whale" from A Pink Whale and a Very Tall Tree.
Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below, but the official results are based on the poll at the bottom of the page. One vote per person, please. Votes due by midnight tonight (Tuesday) East Coast time. And play nice!
They Might Be Giants - "The Ballad of Davy Crockett in Outer Space"
Shana Berry - "The Pink Whale"
Video: "The Pink Whale" - Shana Berry
I gotta tell you, usually when I hear from an artist with a new album, I have a pretty good idea what to expect, good or bad. There's little mystery.
And then there's The Fofers, a project from Maine's Shana Berry. Berry describes her new album thusly:
On A Pink Whale and a Very Tall Tree, I sing (and play guitar and a little bit of uke) about an island called Fof, inhabited by the multi-colored furry Fofers (rhymes with gophers), who climb magical trees into the clouds and ride their bikes on Rollercoaster Road.And if you watch the video Berry animated for "The Pink Whale" below, I think you'll be intrigued. I am, and I don't even have the album yet. It is, at the least, even if you don't like it at all, one of the more unique projects out there. Shana Berry - "The Pink Whale"
