CD: KIDQUAKE! Artist: The Not-Its! Audience: You. Sounds like: Nothing like what you would hear on Top 40 radio… so it’s good. Buy from: iTunes and bandcamp on February 5th Random Thought: If they are all not it, then who is it? That is existential, man. Tweet Sized Review: I never thought kid’s music could be like this. Being a dad won’t be so bad! I’ll start off this, my first review on Dadnabbit, by saying that I am a new dad. My daughter will only be 4 months old when this album comes out. This should tell you a couple of things. I don’t know much about being a dad so far. I also don’t know what the heck I’m getting myself into. While I have some ideas, I still don’t know. Finally, I’m

My daughter is just starting to get into more advanced video games. She is a few months beyond two-years. Up until now she mostly played around with smart phone and tablet games aimed at toddlers, like interactive books or musical games. She finally seems to get how to use the Microsoft Xbox’s Kinect now. Besides a few games she has interacted with mostly on accident, there was nothing designed with her in mind. Then, along with Sesame Street, Microsoft released what they called an “interactive TV show,” Kinect Sesame Street TV. There are 8 shows per season, and Season 1 is out now. The shows play almost exactly like a normal episode of Sesame Street except that there are interactive moments throughout the show. These aren’t just quick interactive gimmicks either. Each episode is sort

And The Song Goes: don’t you worry I’m following right behind ‘cause if you’re caught in who knows where then I’ll be your polar bear CD: Lullaby Artist: Justin Roberts Audience: Humans Sounds Like: Justin Roberts channeling James Taylor and Van Morrison. Buy from: JustinRoberts.org Random Thought: If Coca-Cola doesn’t offer Roberts a boatload of cash to use “Polar Bear” in their Super Bowl polar bear commercials, they’re fools. Tweet Sized Review: Justin Roberts makes a bad ass 70′s soft-rock Lullaby record. I doubted Justin Roberts. A lullaby record from the guy who rocks out like no other from the family music set? I second guessed it and should have known better. The Dan Wilson of the family music scene can simply do no wrong. Lullaby is his ode to 70′s soft rock giants James Taylor, Van Morrison and others.

Here’s the deal, fathers. If you have daughters—or sons who don’t care about outmoded gender roles (and if so, good on you, man)—there is a 90 percent chance that at some point during your day, you’re going to have to watch something with unicorns in it. The key is to find a unicorn-based entertainment which your picky-as-to-unicorns children and you, a reasonable adult, can watch together and enjoy as much as possible. It’s actually not that hard. My Little Pony – Friendship is Magic: Royal Pony Wedding comes out on DVD from SHout! Kids on August 7. A two-hour length special miniseries of five episodes from the shockingly popular, actually pretty hip and funny The Hub channel’s 2010 reboot of the fanciful ’80s series, it’s both unicorn heavy (the way MLP always should have been!)
