Single track helmet cam kid shows us what it’s like

This is probably Maine, not Redding. But I just had to curate this engaging video. You may have seen it already, since it seems to be going viral. I say 1000 extra dad-points to you sir, for putting the camera on your kid’s helmet instead of yours. Allowing us to share this experience through the eyes of a 4 year old child.

“Dad, go!”
“Oh, I’m first? Okay.”
Then, dad asks, “Can you see well?”
“No, I don’t have to pee.”

LOL! So much fun. Good work, dad. Thanks for sharing.

Redding’s Melodramatics explain their band name

Redding’s Melodramatics have been playing all over the West Coast lately. They have a lot of original material, but here’s a standout video of the boys playing a semi-acoustic Reggae/Ska cover of a Green Day tune that inspired their band name. Mash it up, mon. As you can feel, they know how to get you dancing. Here’s Basket Case; turn it up.

Be sure to Like the Melodramatic Facebook page and follow them on Twitter @melodramatics. Here’s the harder edged Playing It Cool.

If you like what you hear, be sure to check out Dirty Beach at the Reverbnation page. Sounds like a hit to me. Caleb Saccheri, Nate Welch, Rich Hughes, Kyle Paolinetti, bringing Melodramatic hybrid Reggae/Ska to your town. That’s Really Redding.
