Bzots dig The Wiggles, Ralph's World, They Might Be Giants, Giggle Together, and Edgar and Ellen

People are always asking us what we watch and listen to when we're not on the run. Here are some of our favorite CDs, DVDs and books!
 
Imagination Movers
These four fellas from New Orleans just cut a deal with Disney, so you're gonna be seeing a lot more of 'em! Buy Imagination Movers' latest CD, Eight Feet! It's Bdonk's current favorite!

Candy Band
"What happened when a bunch of Detroit mothers with the soul of the Ramones and the Stooges got together and started playing nursery rhymes for their sugar-crazed kids?" We won't ruin the surprise for you, but let's just say that the moms in Candy Band are awesome!

The Wiggles
Bdonk loves The Wiggles. He's always like "Hey, do you have my copy of The Wiggles Hoop-Dee-Doo It's A Wiggly Party DVD?" and Skree is like "No, I have your copy of The Wiggles Wiggly Safari on VHS and I think Wkewke has your copy of The Wiggles Hoop-Dee-Doo It's A Wiggly Party." And then Wkewke turns around and says "Yo Bdonk, I don't have your copy of The Wiggles Hoop-Dee-Doo It's A Wiggly Party! Don't you remember mistaking a Wiggles DVD for a bagel? You put in the toaster and the label looked like it said 'Thwggle HooopDedoits AWigglsdfwu Parrrmmdfi.' Apparently it's time for Bdonk to buy another copy of The Wiggles Hoop-Dee-Doo It's A Wiggly Party DVD.

Ralph's World
Sing it along with Ralph! Ralph's World...Ralph's World...RALPH'S....WORLD! Actually the best song is M-O-M-M-Y needs C-O-F-F-E-E. Because it's true. But overall we owe Ralph Covert mad props because he's our Chicago home slice, and he's on the Mini Fresh label, which is a Chicago record label that launched another Chicago band called Veruca Salt who got really popular a while back. Ralph teaches Wiggleworms (more wormy than The Wiggles) music classes for kids at the Old Town School of Folk Music too. What's more, Ralph used to be in a band called The Bad Examples, but we don't think he's a bad example at all. Ralph's World rocks!

They Might Be Giants
The folks on the Bzots team were into They Might Be Giants starting with their album Flood. If they were still in college, that would mean they were cooler than you were because they heard of a relatively unknown band before you had. His buddy Scott turned him onto They Might Be Giants' first album, which was titled, oddly enough, They Might Be Giants. Or was it Lincoln? Hard to remember. So Scott would then be cooler than the folks on the Bzots team because he had heard of them one album earlier than the Bzots team. But at any rate, They Might Be Giants' great album No! has lots of fun songs for parents and kids with great lyrics, and it even has some fun interactive stuff on the CD that you can play when you drop it into your computer. But beware of the lullabyes at the end of the CD - you don't want to be driving the minivan when those come on.

Make Baby Laugh
The Make Baby Laugh DVD series features parents and their kids and their parents giggling together. No silly, they're not just sitting there giggling! They're doing stuff that make each other giggle, like playing hide and seek, knocking over teacups at the local tea party, and tossing yellow foam balls at the family pet. Great fun with an awesome laid-back soundtrack that you'll play almost as often as you watch the DVD. Definitely a family favorite.

Edgar and Ellen
Their first book, Rare Beasts, is about a brother and sister named Edgar and Ellen. These mischievous little cretins live in a creepy house on the edge of town, and they're always causing trouble for the citizens of Nod's Limbs. If you're into the dark and creepy kind of stuff like Scooby Doo and Edward Gorey, you'll totally be into Edgar and Ellen. So much for the passive entertainment choices we've served up earlier in the page - to enjoy Edgar and Ellen, you'll need to be able to READ, but you can definitely slack off and check out all the great eye candy by illustrator Rick Carton.

Bzots
But, of course, our favorite thing in the whole world is us! I mean, The Wiggles, Ralph's World, They Might Be Giants, Giggle Together and Edgar and Ellen are all really cool, but what could possibly be more funkelectrockalicious than our band of 8-foot-tall robots? Kids and their Gen-X parents love our crazy silly-dance-inspiring DVDs and CDs. You should too!
