Cornelius, Low, Frodo Do Yo Gabba Gabba

In the time since we last mentioned the favorite kids show for indie yuppie parents looking for ways to spend time with their little children, Yo Gabba Gabba's had some Stereofriendly folks swing by their Nick Jr. studios. People like manic genre-deconstructing genius Cornelius, whose heavy Yo performance (in 6/4!) you can watch over at Jezebel. Teaching kids to count by playing them odd-time signatures? Nickolodeon, we applaud you. Before premiering, Gabba said it'd be about the "simple life lessons." On that front, here's Low's Alan and Mimi, singing about Mommy, and Daddy, and loving them so.

So, far less stimulating than a live Cornelius jam, but you get the point. After the jump, Elijah Wood does the "Numa Numa" dance with some colorful creatures, and The Soup manages to mash a Gabba kid dancer with the "Gimme More" video. That doesn't need a punchline, does it.

The Adventures of Pete and Pete is still the greatest indie rock kids show - and it's actually good, unlike this.

No way - check out Andrew Bird as Dr. Stringz. Best thing ever.

Band To Watch: Hospital Ships

As we pass saturation point for press coverage of Montreal, Portland, Brooklyn and et cetera, it seems Lawrence, Kansas is poised for its coming turn in the music media trend piece carousel. At least from what we're hearing; this marks...

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...

Video Hangover: Papa Roach - "Getting Away With Murder"

Damien Jurado - "Murderer" (Low Cover)

After hearing "Gillian Was A Horse" from Damien Jurado's forthcoming Caught In The Trees, we contacted the Seattle singer-songwriter and asked if he'd want to premiere a track at Stereogum. Lucky for us (and you), it turned out he had...
