Lucky Diaz – Made In L.A.

Made In L.A. is Lucky Diaz’s funky, fresh love letter to the City of Angels. It will be released on July 21st. We are proud to offer you a first glimpse at the gorgeous Made In L.A. artwork, created by the one and only Micah Player.

Listen to the infectious ‘Paletero Man’ – an ode to the Mexican ice cream man. Good luck getting the chorus out of your head:

Oye, my friend
Can you hear the sounds of the weekend
Oye, my friend
Don’t miss your chance

Ven aca Paletero man

Lucky will be playing Lollapalooza this summer in addition to plenty of other shows across the US. If he’s in your town, make plans to support great independent music. 

‘Paletero Man’ is also featured on this killer summer road trip playlist featuring Lisa Loeb, Justin Roberts, Red Yarn and more!

Song Premiere: Let’s Get Dirty by Dan Bern from The Stinky & Dirty Show on Amazon

StinkandDirtyShow

Amazon continues to provide cord cutting parents with smart, clever shows for their kids. With The Stinky & Dirty Show, they wisely hired the smart and clever troubadour Dan Bern to write the songs.

“The Stinky & Dirty Show soundtrack is a dream project for me,” Bern says. “I’ve always wanted to write songs for a cartoon, and my daughter loves the books. The scripts are terrific, the animation superb, and it’s a thrill to hear my songs in the show.”

This isn’t the first time Bern has written songs for families, releasing 2 Feet Tall in 2009. The show is based on the “I Stink!” book series. The cartoon features the voice work of Whoopi Goldberg, Jane Lynch, Andy Richter, Joan Cusack and Wallace Shawn.

Dadnabbit is proud to premiere the song “Let’s Get Dirty” and its crafty wordplay.

The Stinky & Dirty Show (Music from the Amazon Original Series) is available now for pre-order.

The soundtrack will be available for streaming on Prime Music in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Austria and Japan. Prime members may listen to the entire album at no additional cost to their membership on compatible devices that support Amazon Music, including Amazon Echo, Fire devices, iPads, iPhones, Android devices, Sonos Players, the Web and more—songs can also be downloaded for offline listening on mobile devices.The soundtrack will also be available for all customers to purchase and download in MP3 format in the US, UK, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Japan.
