Live Video: "Fruit Jar" - Justin Roberts with Robbie Fulks

Justin Roberts' "Fruit Jar" (from Pop Fly) is easily in my list of Top 5 Roberts songs. And while I love love love Nora O'Connor on the original, I gotta say that Robbie Fulks is not a bad substitute. Here he is singing with Roberts at a show he did with Fulks Monday night. Mostly Fulks-related, but Roberts got in a few of his songs, too... Justin Roberts with Robbie Fulks - "Fruit Jar" (Live at the Hideout) [YouTube] But wait, there's more!

The Flaming Lips. Yo Gabba Gabba. Well, Duh.

We've known for awhile now that the Flaming Lips would be appearing on this, the third season, of Yo Gabba Gabba. But one look at a clip from the upcoming episode "Fairytale" shows just how perfect the two are for each other. The Lips re-work "I Can Be a Frog" from their 2009 album Embryonic... and by re-work, I mean, change "I" to "You," and that's about it lyrically, it would appear based on the 1-minute clip Viacom shared. It's also a little sunnier in tone, but the video itself looks like, well, every other Flaming Lips concert clip I've seen. Utter chaos. (But in a good way.) Catch it all when "Fairytale" premieres on Nickelodeon on Friday, Nov. 5th at 11:30 AM. The Flaming Lips - "I Can Be a Frog" (from Yo Gabba Gabba!)

Video: "Me and My Brand New Haircut" - Billy Kelly & Davy Jones

You saw the trailer, now watch the actual video from chorally-approved BIlly Kelly and Davy Jones. What's the movie term for "hair wrangler," because he or she was the hardest working person on that set. (You know, I now realize that when I saw a very-closely-shorn Kelly at Kindiefest in May, it was just a cry for help.) Billy Kelly with Davy Jones - "Me and My Brand New Haircut" [YouTube]

Video: "Who Needs the Junk?" - The Sippy Cups

OK, yes, this is pretty much just a two-minute ad for One Small Step and their Boycott the Baggie (ad) campaign. I get that. But it is also a catchy new song from the Bay Area band The Sippy Cups, a band that hasn't put out new music in some time now, so that's why it's worth listening to. And it does fit into their pro-environment worldview. So with all that caveating, press play and enjoy some power-pop accompanied by crazy janitor-based visuals.

Video: "Hula Hoop to Da Loop" - Keller Williams

Enjoying listening to "Hula Hoop to Da Loop" from the forthcoming Keller Williams album Kids? Of course you are. But maybe you're more of a visually-stimulated family. Then check out this video, featuring Williams, a display of his looping prowess, and a display of his (and others') hula-hooping prowess. Fun.
