How's this for sharing? Maine's Flannery Brothers celebrate the release of The New Explorers Club by releasing yet another album. For free. That's right, for a limited time, you can download Dance Songs for Silly Kids. It's a track-for-track collection of remixed songs from Love Songs for Silly Things (the last song on the new album is essentially new). It's really goofy, but that's what your kids need sometimes. Stream or download it below...

One Mint Green Bee Wasn't Enough: John Lennon Songwriting Contest 2008
It's not news that I'm a big fan of Gustafer Yellowgold. And I already told you about how Gustafer creator Morgan Taylor won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest's 2008 Session I Children's Music category for "Mint Green Bee." Well, Gustafer has met his match. Literally. The Session II winners have been announced, and winning the category this go-round is "One Wasn't Enough," from Bangor, Maine's Flannery Brothers.
And now the decision as to the best song of the year is up to you, folks. After listening to both songs (you can download the Flannery Brothers song at the link above), go here to cast your vote. (Voting ends May 1.) And while I'm a big Gustafer fan, I think it's really hard to listen to the Flannery Brothers track (off their upcoming debut Love Songs for Silly Things) and not have a smile on your face. An old-school Trout Fishing in America-style track. Tough choice.
