These girls constantly amaze me with their creativity and activism. Their activism appeals to me because it’s less of the “beat you over the head and/or guilt trip” you kind and more of the “hey we think this is super cool and important” and then they look so cool while they are doing it that you can’t help but want to do it too. Like when they did their cross country bike tour, or their farm tour.

You can download Summer Rains on
but as always, it’s best to go straight to the source. For one thing, the artists get more of the money, for another The Ditty Bops website is super cute and worth checking out, not to mention this album art sounds amazing: “A nostalgic throwback to the times when record packaging was as exciting as the music itself, this interactive cd pack incorporates elaborate pop-up art made from 100% recycled paper.”

While you’re at it, check out their 2008 Ditty Bops Save the World Calender. Heck, check out all the calenders, they do a cute one every year.
