Weezer and Rockabye Baby are an ideal match. They’re both smart alternatives with strong mainstream appeal, and the epitome of youthful cool.

Lullaby Renditions of Weezer, which hits stores today, includes their smash hit “Beverly Hills,” which hit the Top 10 of six contemporary pop music charts. Among the featured tunes by the band that brought geekdom to the heart of contemporary hipness is also their Top 20 single “Buddy Holly,” and the tune that started it all for the Los Angeles-based group in 1994, “Undone – The Sweater Song,” and nine more Weezer favorites.

Led by Rivers Cuomo, the quartet has etched its profile onto the modern rock scene with eight albums full of music that’s smart, witty, tuneful and catchy, just like Rockabye Baby’s lullabies. Now the kids who grew up with Weezer that are having children of their own can share the songs they treasure with the little ones they love.

Description: Dreamin’ of a holiday across the sea to escape baby’s cries? Why bother? Take control of the good life. When your little troublemaker gets cranky, let our gentle renditions of Weezer’s biggest hits transform your nursery into an island in the sun. The perfect situation isn’t only in dreams.

Time to fire up the grill, pop open a cold one and let Dear Old Dad have his day. But the celebration wouldn’t be complete without a little music, of course. In honor of the guy that brings home the bacon, takes the kids to Little League and still manages to find time to channel-surf, here are a few tunes in honor of Dad—and some that will have you questioning just who Daddy is?:

“Papa Don’t Preach” (Madonna)

If you were considered a reckless teen back in the day, this might have been your go-to song on your Walkman. (For me, I remember thinking I’d be grounded forever if this song applied to me.)

“Father Figure” (George Michael)

This one haunted me at school dances (would anyone ever ask me to dance?), and yet it’s still a mesmerizing song and even more tastefully filmed. Hey, I’d take a cab ride from that George Michael any day…

“I’m Your Daddy” (Weezer)

If you’re a fan of “Buddy Holly,” you may want to download this one next. Rumor has it Rivers Cuomo was inspired by the birth of his daughter when he wrote this song…even though he’s singing about romantic love.

“Father to Son” (Queen)

The quintessential tear-jerker, this song will hit home with anyone who failed to see Dad’s wisdom as a kid, but can appreciate it now as parent themselves.

Wishing my own dad, and dads everywhere, a Happy Father’s Day!




The Roots on Yo Gabba Gabba

No need to limit your baby-gushing vocabulary to “goo goo gaga.” If there’s a toddler or preschooler in residence at your house, names like Foofa, Brobee, Muno, Plex and Toodee are almost as popular as “Mama.” Otherwise known as Yo Gabba Gabba, this undeniably awesome menagerie of rainbow-hued singing, dancing and all-around-rockin’ characters is tops with little kids of all ages. The Gabba coolness factor is catching on with grown-up music makers, too. From The Shins to The Roots, the number of eclectic bands rocking out with this fun group continues to mushroom. Frankly, all this musical attention has us wondering exactly just what the allure is. Is it Foofa’s giggly nature, Plex’s dead-on robot moves (well, he is a robot after all)? Let’s not forget the ultimate band leader of them all, DJ Lance Rock (love those groovy glasses!). We can’t quite narrow it down, but if the recent line-up of special guests—from Weezer, to The Ting Tings, to Devo and Tim Armstrong of Rancid—is any testament to the Gabba’s staying power, then we know we’re on to something.
