John and Mark's Children's Record - John Upchurch and Mark Greenberg

Artist: John Upchurch and Mark Greenberg

Album: John and Mark's Children's Record

Description: I have long been on the record as being a huge fan of this album. So much so that I'm willing to make you jump through a couple hoops (when normally I'd just post an embedded widget) just so you can listen to the album one (mis-ordered) song at a time.  Trust me, it's worth it.  Go here and type "john and mark's children's record" (without the quotation marks) into the search box on the left.  Enjoy.

Quiet Time - Miss Gail and the Jumpin' Jam Band

Artist: Miss Gail and the Jumpin' Jam Band

Album: Quiet Time EP

Description: Raucous rockers to keep the neighbors awake!  Erm, no.  Five calm original songs featuring Gail Burnett's lovely voice accompanied by guitar, cello, and bass.  Good wind-down music.

"Working Together" - Sugar Free Allstars & Recess Monkey

Artists: Sugar Free Allstars / Recess Monkey

Song: "Working Together"

Album: N/A

Description: Sugare Free Allstars meets Recess Monkey, duh.  Starts out a bit clunky, ends much more funky.  As message songs go, it's better than most.  (Purchase at iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby.)
