Friday Fun: The Jimmies, "Mama Said Nog You Out," Starring My Kids

"A few weeks ago, I received a review copy of Mama Said Nog You Out, the new holiday album from our friends The Jimmies. It is an absolute kick, one of those perfect "kids' albums" that works just fine for us grownups, thank you very much. Lucas and Zoe have made the band's version of "I'm Gettin' Nothin' For Christmas" their official, unironic, yet highly appropriate theme song." Click here to read more and WATCH THE VIDEO!

The Jimmies--Practically Ridiculous

"If you take in all the crazy fun details on the I Spy-like CD packaging, you'll find a line on the bottom right of the back cover saying, "May contain tracks of nuts." While this new album careens over multiple musical styles, leader Ashley Albert and her crackingly good musicians make it all come together like the best party on a CD platter your kids could try this year."

The Jimmies--Mama Said Nog You Out--Review and Giveaway

"In their latest new CD, The Jimmies has managed to re-do classic Christmas music in versions that I am still enjoying even this close to the actual holiday. Mama Said Nog You Out is spectacular and hilarious. The Track List which includes titles like “Nogturne in C Minor” and “Marshmallow World” is so funny that just reading the back of the CD makes me smile. But the real treat is in the artists. If you haven’t heard of The Jimmies before now, then I encourage you to check them out immediately. They have a folksy/popsy sound that is somehow different yet strangely appealing at the same time. Although it seems like they specialize in children’s music, their Christmas album proves that the can be fun for the whole family." Click here to read more.

Having Our Cake and Eating It, Too!

"Ashley Albert knows all about partying like a kid rock star. She’s the founder of the wildly popular “kindie band” the Jimmies and the voice of Nickelodeon network promos. For her 37th, last April, she hosted a murder-mystery birthday and asked friends to dress up as their assigned characters. Every year, she also “makes” her two best friends sleep over at her apartment in Gramercy Park." Click here to read more.

When Pigs Fly by Melissa Chianta

"The Jimmies’ wildly imaginative Trying Funny Stuff collection of children’s music and videos, the latter directed by Michael Slavens, is outstanding, award-winning entertainment for kids. Start with high- energy tunes featuring the powerful voice of Ashley Albert (also the videos’ writer and producer), stir in multilay- ered, surreal animation, add a heaping portion of They Might Be Giants–style goofiness, a segment in high-contrast black-and-white (à la film noir), and a dash of home-movie footage, and voilà!— you get one of the most innovative kids’ video packages this reviewer has seen. “Film 101: Behind-the-Scenes Docu- mentary,” a bonus feature, will fascinate young minds with the details of build- ing sets, designing hair and makeup,and computer-generated special effects."
