Artist: Elska
Song: "Don't Make Fun of the Goobler"

Description: Another in Elska's series of Iceland-filmed videos, this one featuring her "own green home slice," the Goobler. "My own green home slice," by the way, is my favorite kids music phrase of the year.

Artist: Kernel Klump
Song: "I've Got Problems"
Album: N/A
Description: If you were looking a robot to rap about his problems, stop right here. He says it, and it's true, I know nothing about his problems. (I'm sorry, the tiny little arms make me smile every time.)

Artist: Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips
Song: "Lucas!"
Album: Ultramagnetic Universal Love Revolution
Description: Busy, busy, information overload, but it's nicely put together and, more importantly, is there any doubt that Mista Cookie Jar thinks Lucas is awesome? No, no, there is not.

Artist: The Ukulady
Song: "The Crust Lady"
Album: To the Downfall of Evil!
Description: Loopy. Askew. Slightly off. So, of course, about 20% (30%? this isn't exactly precise) of you families will think this is awesome. Are you one of the 20% (or 30%)? The only way you'll know is to watch (give it at least a minute). The animation is courtesy Will Guy from Goopymart.

Artist: Marvy Monstone's Mysterious Fun Time Dream Band (aka Todd McHatton)
Song: "Fuzzy & Orange"
Album: Todd McHatton Presents Marvy Monstone's Mysterious Fun Time Dream Band
Description: I think I like this video because the production values are adequate, not spiffy -- its "let's try this after-effect!" attitude matches the revved up, synthesized song. Also, I love Finch's collar and necktie.

Artist: They Might Be Giants
Song: "Alphabet of Nations" (extended version)
Album: No! (10th Anniversary Deluxe Reissue)
Description: I think I slightly prefer the original video on the Here Come the ABCs disk. But this has its own in-your-face charm. Plus, beyond the new countries in the bridge, there are not one but two West Xylophone jokes. I'm always down for a good West Xylophone joke.

Artist: Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke
Song: "Favorite Names"
Album: Rise & Shine
Description: Wake up or you'll miss the animated cameo by a famous personage. Waking up to this song is not a difficult thing to do.
