Get Your Limited Edition Copy of Mr. David’s Rainbow of Butterflies

It’s finished! It’s complete! IT’S AWESOME!!

RAINBOW OF BUTTERFLIES, Mr. David’s newest single featuring a choir of more than 30 children from the Bay Area, wil be released as a limited edition recording this week.

Listen to a 20–secon clip of teh song below. We guarantee it will make you want to put those disco pants on and start boogying.

Thank you to all the kids and their families for coming out to the studio (two times!) and lending their voice to the song. We’ve also been lucky enough to have the single (and Mr. David) mentioned in the Silicon Valley Moms Blog by Akemi, so check it out.

You can buy the single for $10 (we know—it’s a single—but all the money is going to benefit Campbell Parent’s Participation Preschool).

Mr. David named one of CD Baby’s Best Independent Musicians

CD Baby sent us a very nice email last week telling us  Jump in the Jumpy House would be featured on their homepage. Here’s what they wrote:

We love your "MR. DAVID: Jump in the Jumpy House" CD so much I’m going to feature it on the FRONT PAGE of CD Baby for a few days.

We’re *really* picky about what goes on the front page.  We get about 200-250 new albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 190,000 total), and yours is one of the best we’ve ever heard.

THE DATE: Sunday, August 19th 2007

OUR REVIEW
If Jonathan Richman were to make an album for kids, I imagine it would sound something like this. With a lyrical approach that is sharply stream-of-consciousness and keeps tongue planted firmly in cheek, these songs are bizarrely appealing, unassumingly witty, and never dull. With a loose and jangly (in the best way) approach to songwriting, these tracks are rooted in both new wave pop and the uncompromising ethos of punk. The melodies are sly and catchy, feigning non-existence until they creep into your subconscious and become buried in your head. On the surface, this could be perceived as a fun-time train of non sequiturs, but upon closer inspection, you’ll see these songs are as calculated as they are nutty, only straying off track when it makes perfect sense. With a voice that is able to righteously pull off high pitched squeals (the title track) and a passable version of Johnny Cash ("Them Devils"), there’s ample variations of wackiness on this one for the kids, and plenty of hummable tunes to keep the grown ups locked in and listening.

So there you have it. Mr. David is one of CD Baby’s "Best Independent Musicians" Yeeaaahaaaa! We love CD Baby Go buy your copy now!

Mr. David, Jump in the Jumpy House and iTunes

In answer to an inquiry we got about my music on iTunes . . .

Yes! It’s available! You can get all my albums on iTunes. You can also download songs from my MySpace account. Jump in the Jumpy House hasn’t been posted yet because it takes anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months to get your songs up, if you’re not with a huge label (which we’re not). So, be patient for that one. The others are already there. Here are the iTunes links.
