What I want to know is whether there's an EAST Xylophone.

Our family thinks the whole Here Come The ABCs set its the best thing ever.
We even got these cool tshirts about the made up country in Alphabet of Nations.
They're at http://WestXylophone.com
The shirts are soo cute and my daugters really like looking like "twins" (well, they're 2 and 5, so not exactly but you know what I mean.)
The West Xylophone guys are stlling car stickers http://WestXylophone.com/shop.php?prod=stickers and stuff, too. Very silly. |

It seems to be the case for a lot of music reviews, too.
"Initial thoughts" might have been a better term for what I wrote. It's not exactly a formal review, just what I thought of it upon first viewing. My thoughts were mainly positive, although I think there were a few too many breaks that simply consisted of reciting the alphabet.

I agree with Darwin that No! is a better album, but then, I guess TMBG is allowed to do a project like the ABC one every once in a while. And while some of the songs are pretty weak ("The Vowel Family," anyone?) and others really don't work without the visuals ("Letter/Not A Letter" and "Letter Shapes," for instance), there are also some quality songs on the record.

I actually know the chords to the Wiggles' "Big Red Car" and "Fruit Salad" and am forced to play and sing for my son.
But doesn't the part in "Dorothy the Dinosaur" that goes "romp-pomp-a-chomp" kind of rock? Did I really just say that aloud?
Dan Zanes. Oh yes, of the Del Fuegos. I remember the "Don't Run Wild" video on V66 when I was a youngin'. They were playing on the Mass. Ave. Bridge over the Charles. Good tune. Anyone else know what I'm talking about? |

True!
My kid's childhood is Wiggles-free but we're too close to the Canadian border to escape Sharon, Lois or Bram.

I almost wept last night when my kid made me take off Ana Ng and put on Istabul not Constantinople. Better than kicking it old school with Sharon, Lois and Bram.
(darwin, I tend to agree with you and you are not grumpy. You're right.)
Is it too early to derail the thread with Dan Zanes?

Grumpy response: I think No! is much better. Or, No! is much more like a TMBG album with songs that kids might like. Whereas, I don't think ABC has much cleverness. But, I've never seen the DVD.
Just finished (10 minutes ago) dancing to Flood with my 2 year old. |
