Yo Gabba Gabba Premiere Week. Again. (The Killers, Band of Horses, Jem, Dean & Britta)

TheKillersYGG.jpgI know some Yo Gabba Gabba! fans are frustrated with the pace of the airing of episodes from the show's third season, but 4 more shows are coming their way next month. The musical guests on this go-round? The Killers (though you'd never know that by the clip, as they're introduced by individual first names), Band of Horses, Jem, and Dean & Britta. All shows air at 1:00 p.m. ET/PT. Links to videos, including The Killers' "Spaceship Adventure" and episode summaries via Nick, are below. (Can I say "The Killers" again?) Monday, Feb. 7 “Adventure” Muno and friends go on an Indiana Jones style adventure! [Ed.: Hopefully it's one of the first couple adventures, you know, the fun ones.] They travel through a jungle under Gabbaland and find a golden treasure. The Killers - “Spaceship Adventure” [Fliqz] (OK, if you want the whole thing, just search it out on YouTube.)

Video: "Cinderella" - Debbie and Friends

When I heard about the "twist" Debbie Cavalier (AKA Debbie and Friends was considering for the video for her new song, "Cinderella," I thought it might end up being cheesy. But now that I've seen the final product, bada boom, bada bing, I think it turned out pretty funny and ends up elevating the rest of the video just enough to not drive away the parents. The song is an uptempo, 5-minute retelling of the myth with touches of Death Cab for Cutie. Debbie and Friends - "Cinderella" [YouTube] More D&F videos after the jump.

Gustafer Yellowgold's Infinity Trip Around the Kindie Interwebs

GY_InfinitySock.jpgIt's not quite as lengthy as the trip he takes in his forthcoming DVD/CD set Gustafer Yellowgold's Inifinity Sock, but Gustafer Yellowgold will be making a number of appearances next month at many family music sites. Gustafer Yellowgold’s Infinity Sock World Premiere Video Week will feature seven videos (in order) from the March 1 release, but unlike the sock whose origin Gustafer seeks out in the album, the length of time you'll have to see each of the videos is very finite -- only about 24 hours. So you'll want to make sure not to miss each site each day. The schedule is below - see you here on February 2nd. Tuesday, Feb. 1: The Saturday Morning Cereal Bowl - “Slim Gets In ‘Em” Wednesday, Feb. 2: Zooglobble (that's right here!) - “Infinity” Thursday, Feb. 3: Out with the Kids - “Beehive” Friday, Feb. 4: Gooney Bird Kids - “Snake Proms” Saturday, Feb. 5: Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child - “Cheddar” Sunday, Feb. 6: Ages 3 and Up! - “Wisconsin Poncho” (I know it's Sunday, folks, but make sure you don't miss this one) Monday: Feb. 7: Boston Children’s Music – “Question Marks”

Video: "It's Raining, It's Pouring" (Live) - The Speks

There is absolutely nothing visually special about this new video from Ireland's The Speks. The traditonal preschool tune "It's Raining, It's Pouring" is performed live by the band as an Irish reel (if that is, indeed the correct name for the style of music -- I'll admit I don't know my reels from my jigs). But I'm so used to thinking of the band as animated (literally), that seeing actual people playing actual instruments was reason enough to post. It's fun to see adults get into the song (and by the end, the off-screen audience is, too.) The Speks - "It's Raining, It's Pouring" (Live) [YouTube]

Three Sesame Street Counting Songs

I so enjoyed coming up with a list of counting songs from Sesame Street that I'm going to duplicate it by moving on to numbers. (No, I haven't decided if I'm going to do 3 science-related songs from the show next week.) First off, the show recently re-did their classic "Ladybugs' Picnic" video. This new version is done with claymation and features vocals from Langhorne Slim. But as you can guess by the fact that I'm not actually embedding that video, I prefer the old traditionally animated version and sung by Bud Luckey. It's like an old college t-shirt (or, if you're a kid, a well-loved teddy bear) -- the rough-around-the-edges nature of the original has become an asset. (I really like Elizabeth Mitchell's version, though.) "Ladybugs' Picnic" [YouTube]

Video: "K-I-D-S" - Luv Clowns

There are certain kids musicians which make families all warm and snuggly inside, filled with love and grace. And then there are Memphis' Luv Clowns, who last December strolled through the Memphis Christmas Parade... without, as best I can tell, having permission to do so. Watch as the Luv Clowns play "K-I-D-S" as they stroll through the parade, interacting with the youngsters walking along, then get denied entry to FedEx Arena by the police at the end. Every genre needs its subversives -- Luv Clowns are (one of) ours. (Remember, you can pick up a free mp3 of the track here.) Luv Clowns - "K-I-D-S" [YouTube]
