For over fifteen years Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child has been providing the soundtrack to thousands of childhoods around the country. The show plays “indie music for indie kids,” including the best of music aimed at kids like Dan Zanes, Moona Luna, Lunch Money, Caspar Babypants, and They Might Be Giants, right along side kid-friendly tracks from the likes of The Ramones, Ella Fitzgerald, Brian Eno, Andrew Bird, Fishbone, and more. One thing it’s not is your typical kids’ programming.
This week, we’ll hear new music from DadJoke and Company L, plus we’ll listen to songs from Suzi Shelton, Blue Oyster Cult, Kermit, Hiromasa Suzuki, Ants Ants Ants, and more! It’s indie music for indie kids.
