About Baron Von Rumblebuss
Baron Von Rumblebuss Baron von Rumblebuss and his crew of  
Cosmusicologists have undertaken a study of the most moving music in  
the Galaxy aiming their discoveries at the wee of stature because  
kids are so big of heart, and generally less self-conscious about  
leaping about expressively. Songs about robots, superheroes, and  
falling into onion dip are a few of the kid-centric blasts of tunage  
that’ll take you straight to the playground. You’ll hear the  
lingering echoes of the Kinks and the Who, the swagger and shimmer of  
Powerpop merchants Big Star and the buzzy New Wave textures of Devo;  
there’s even a dash of funk… songs that talk directly to earth-young,  
without selling them (or their parents!) short. SHAKE SOME ACTION!
