Artist: Hullabaloo
Song: "You Are Loved"
Album: N/A
Description: Not sure it's possible to release a much simpler song -- one voice, one guitar, one minute, and a couple dozen different words at most. All to convey a simple and powerful message, "You Are Loved." It's possible to sing this concept and have it sound trite. To my ears, that isn't the case at all with this track.

Artist: Mista Cookie Jar and the Chocolate Chips
Song: "Jelly Beans!"
Album: N/A (upcoming release)
Description: Featuring a sugar-infused electro-blues (again, MCJ is kindie's hyphenate king) amped to 11, lyrical delivery from 14-year-old Ava Flava (with an assist from Mista Cookie Jar), this ode to the sugar- (or corn syrup-)filled candy winds up and up until it crashes at the very end. The free download crashes (i.e., ends) just about the time your kids will crash after eating their Easter candy (i.e., sometime Easter Sunday).

Artist: Jelly of the Month Club
Album: Introducing the Jelly of the Month Club
Description: I hope to have a review of the debut album from this all-star band featuring SoCal ska/surf/soul musicians soon, but in the meantime, here's an opportunity for you to download the whole album. It's "name your price," but since they're asking for donations to fund their next video, it'd be churlish not to throw in at least a buck or two (or more).
