Editorial Reviews
Spooky, nostalgic fun
As a child of the 90s, I owe my spooky sensibility to shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark? and books like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark—but few works were more influential on my love of all things creepy than those of R. L. Stine. So I trust no one better to curate this collection of scary stories, all conceived by Stine himself, and written by some of the most exciting names in kids and young adult lit. Yes, Camp Red Moon, may technically be for younger audiences, but the tales within are just as delightful to 30-somethings like me. I enjoyed both the nostalgia factor of the summer camp setting, while appreciating the contemporary, 21st century twist to many of the stories. If you have kids (or nieces and nephews, like I do!) who have shown similar creepy inclinations, might I suggest sitting around a campfire one crisp night this October and listening with the whole family? Or, if you’re a lifelong city kid like me, just dim the lights, fire up a pumpkin-scented candle, and get spooked.
Giants and Spiders and Unicorns—Oh, My!
Not unlike Jukebox Joyride, this listen pairs a proven writer, Steve Burns of Blue’s Clues fame, with a proven musician, Steven Drozd from The Flaming Lips (!!) to incredible effect. The musical compositions build upon each other in a way that reminds me of good storytelling structure; introduce separate elements that seem unrelated, then gradually unite them to produce something far greater than the individual parts. There’s a sort of fractal and holistic beauty to the way everything in this listen is laid out, and I found myself soothed by the effortlessness way the words and music intermingle. In particular, Mote the unicorn’s compositions reveal aspects of his personality; his tunes (as well as the rest of the compositions) are sometimes videogame-esque, sometimes synthwave-y, sometimes alt rock, but they’re always majestic and compelling—just like Mote the unicorn and his lively pals. There’s a lot to love here for you and your kids.
A front row ticket to adventure
Like Thomas Jefferson, I cannot live without books. But I also cannot live without music. I think that’s why Jukebox Joyride speaks to my childhood soul. This is more than your standard time travel adventure—12-year-old Jules and George (who also make up the band Unlimited Breadsticks) are traveling through time, meeting incredible musicians, hoping to find their missing ethnomusicologist Uncle Bob. Adventure, history, humor; jazz, classical, rock—this listen is sure to get you thinking about your favorite musicians and the greatest concerts of all time.
