Sounds Like: An amalgam of talent and intent to educate ;) Mushpot Records, the folk-twee-pop-electro-synth-IDM and alternative children's music label, was inspired by the weekly radio show hosted by Fanny Mcgee and Reverb (aptly named "the Mushpot") on KDVS. They broadcasted children's stories for all ages as well as new underground music. For the KDVS fundraiser, Fanny decided to make a children's music compilation. Musician friends from around Davis, CA and as far as Japan submitted tracks. The first Mushpot Records Compilation was released on April 21st, 2005. The second compilation, "Better than your Blanket" was released April of 2006. G2's "Loneliness and Love"--the first artist on Mushpot-- was released on September 25th, 2006.
Compilation releases are small press runs (about 500 or less) and non-profit. Compilations are donated to schools and radio stations. Remaining proceeds go to the next themed compilation.
The Mushpot's first goal is to have fun. Second, to expose all genres of music to children without being cheesy or mitigating our educational messages. Third, to inspire artists to step outside their normal musical bounds with exciting themed compilations. Fourth, to expose audio and visual artists that wouldn't usually be featured in mainstream culture.
We are broke, please donate.
