The new album "Mario built my hot rod" is out now via Germany's 9pm Records and is absolutely brilliant. My wife played it for her class of two-year-olds at preschool and they all danced to it for 45-minutes straight. And then they wanted to do it again! If that's not high praise, I don't know what is. Very, very recommended.
