Munslow & Other Stuff

Sorry for the radio silence lately. Some stuff:

- Keith Munslow will be on the show this week. Keith is good on record but great live. Local listeners should definitely head to Cup & Top to check him out -- he will crack you up.

- Alternatively, this week is Flywheel's big farewell shindig until they get in their new space. The Pop Rockets (who were on the show a few weeks ago) will be playing in the morning.

- Brooklyn is coming together nicely. Thanks, incidentally, to the Pokey Pup (link over there on the right) and Kindie Rock PR (kindierockpr@gmail.com) for generously sponsoring the show. It's a small space and invite-only, so don't go wandering around trying to find us, but do look forward to listening! Here's a preview:



- We'll also be seeing Justin Roberts and/or Milkshake that Saturday, plus going to this very cool exhibit at the Museum of Design. And to this, which I admit may puzzle me, but feeling out of place is nothing new. Though I don't think we'll make it there, Ernie & Neal will be rawking out at The Living Room, too.

- While we're in Brooklyn, you can still listen to the show, guest-hosted on March 24 by ScribbleJim and ScribbleDaughter. (Through the magic of technology, Jim will also be in Brooklyn that day.) If you've heard past ScribbleGuestHostedShows, you know this will be fun.

- Check out all those events we have coming up. (Over on the right.) Good stuff. I'm particularly interested in talking with Dennis Caraher about his recent work with kids who have gone through a loss; some of you know that my cousin in Little Rock died last week after a brief bout with spinal meningitis, leaving six-year-old twins, Allen and Amelia. Dennis's work with The Garden is compelling and important.

- Stefan's been busy, what with announcing the fifty best family songs of all time and doing a bracket thingie with video from kids' artists. Go check it out.

- Amy, too, has been busy, what with a conspiracy theory involving American Idol and maybe the Trilateral Commission. Plus good stuff about media for families. She's coming to Brooklyn, too!

- And Gwyneth, too, is busy, with the best nearly-daily updates on kids' music happenings I know of. And she and the Gooney Bird Kids are coming to Brooklyn!

- Another year we're not at South by Southwest. Maybe next year. For the last couple of years, the best radio appearances have been at The Current from Minnesota Public Radio. Mary Lucia is my radio hero and does insightful and hilarious interviews.

All right, gotta start some bean soup. After a couple of days of temperatures in the 60s, it's in the 40s today. Soup will be good.
