All Music Guide, June 2002

,,, An alternative to...mind-numbing Disney pop...genuinely safe, sweet, and fun collection...could not be recommended any higher for parents.

Product Description

Hi-Fi for small fry! The best of Greasy Kid Stuff, the WFMU hit Saturday morning radio show. Broadcast weekly throughout the New York City area, this playfully ironic take on kids' music is now available for the first time ever on one CD. Many of its songs are previously unreleased.

From 1995 to the present, Greasy Kid Stuff has served as a cultural touchstone for hip parents and their equally discerning children. Through weekly Internet broadcasts and archived shows, the program's popularity has spread not only throughout the New York metropolitan area, but nationally and internationally as well.

These tracks, culled from the upper ranks of the annual "Best of Greasy Kid Stuff" countdowns, mark the first commercial release of a Greasy Kid Stuff compilation. Parents and children alike can and will groove, jive and bop to the infectious and funky music on this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get greasy but stay clean, June 14, 2002

By A Customer

From the opening Greasy Kid Stuff theme song to the closing Yo La Tengo version of My Little Corner of the World, Songs From Inside The Radio opens up a whole world of really good, fun music to enjoy with your kids. It is rockingly reminiscent of the great kids' music era ushered in by Peter Seger and Woody Guthrie. Hockey Monkey motivated my 8 yr. old son to pick up a guitar to learn to play and sing along. Ants in My Pants is hysterically funny to my 5 yr old. Chicken Impossible really gets the whole family listening. Them Bones is, of course, classic in the kids' music genre. That's Where the Plaque Is, has always been a tooth-brushing family favorite. This CD is a wonderful, fun way to bring really great music into your child's world and keep the doors open for communication, You Can Make a Difference if You Try, Try, Try.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREASY & GREAT, May 27, 2002

By A Customer

My kids love this radio program, and this CD too! We would never buy (or even know where to look for) whole albums by these artists, so it is great to see them together in one place, great for long car trips!

5.0 out of 5 stars Punk Rock Kids and Parents, September 17, 2003

By	StacyK (USA) - See all my reviews

Awesome, un-sappy kids' album. Perfect gift for parents who are cool and kids who are imaginative. The Sound of Worms is a 4-8 year old crowd pleaser!
