Big week for Nickelodeon’s delightful hipster kids show Yo Gabba Gabba!. Yesterday Sarah Silverman debuted the “Time To Mime” dance and Black Kids sang “We Love Clowns.” Tomorrow Anthony Bourdain plays a doctor and of Montreal perform a nutritious original called “Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast!” (Previously Kevin Barnes & Co. taught YGG! viewers the importance of dental hygiene.)

Weezer’s contribution is surprisingly great given the hit-or-miss state of modern-day =W=. Some behind-the-scenes clips hit the Web last year, but the full performance premiered this morning.

“Listening and dancing to music is … AWESOME.”
- DJ Lance Rock

Coming up this season: Erykah Badu, Band Of Horses, Blitzen Trapper, Chairlift, Rob Dyrdek, The Faint, The Flaming Lips, The Killers, and Solange Knowles. On the comedy side: Fred Armisen, Charlyne Yi and a reunion of the three male geeks from Freaks And Geeks. Could “Talent Booker, Yo Gabba Gabba!” be the most fun job in the world?

I will be disappointed if Band Of Horses are not in horse costumes.

Steve Aoki and Datsik give The Fillmore something to dance about
From behind a heap of jet black hair ... such as Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Kid Cudi to fellow producers LMFAO. Perhaps the biggest crossover on the album is a track featuring Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo called “Earthquakey People.”
Electronic dance master Steve Aoki puts El Paso show into the mix
The album was pieced together over three years and features contributions from rockers Rivers Cuomo of Weezer ... rappers Lil Jon and Kid Cudi; and pop's LMFAO, Wynter Gordon and [[[zuper blahq]]], aka Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

  4. Is it me, or is this distinctly less whacky than is customary for Weezer?

  5. Contemporary Weezer suddenly makes more sense when recontextualized as kids music.
