How lucky are we that a band we actually enjoyed listening to in the 80s and 90s is now a favorite of our own kids? Yes, the duo who left us “Twistin’” in the wind in 1990 has fully entrenched itself in the kids’ music arena. As a follow-up to the Grammy-winning “Here Comes the 123s,” They Might Be Giants released the “Here Comes Science” animated DVD/CD last fall. And to top it off, John and John have even ventured in the world of children’s books with their recent picture book/DVD entitled “Kids Go!” If you’ve got the makings of a little couch potato in your house, then this is for you.
