The kids' music landscape is pretty bleak for the most part, filled with obnoxiously cute dinky folk music and tinkly Casio lullabies and the Wiggles. So the folks behind the Nickelodeon show "Yo Gabba Gabba!" are doing god's work when they bring deliriously technicolor art-school fantasias like this and this into our living rooms.
As a bonus, the show regularly features appearances from musicians who generally don't have anything to do with the whole rugrat circuit, including the Shins, of Montreal, the Roots, Chromeo, Mark Kozelek, Biz Markie, and I'm From Barcelona. All those folks will soon turn up on the compilation Yo Gabba Gabba! Music Is Awesome!, due October 20 from Filter. Check below for that tracklist. There will also be an iTunes deluxe edition with bonus songs.
This fall, "Yo Gabba Gabba!" will go on tour, staging some sort of show in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Hopefully someone will make a video like this out of it in 20 years or so.
