Music DVDs

Ivan was sick last week and all he wanted to do was snuggle and listen to music. I thought this might be a nice opportunity to watch all of our music DVDs while we cuddle on the couch under lots of blankets. Here were our favorites…

Meredith LeVande is one of our new favorite artists. We just love her newest CD What are the Odds, so when we found out she was creating a set of videos for her first album, Monkey Monkey Music, we were pretty excited. We’ve watched her new DVD over and over now and just love it. Monkey Monkey Music: The Videos comes out on December 1st.

Of course, anything by Gustafer Yellowgold is going to be awesome, but our current favorite DVD is the newest one, Gustafer Yellowgold’s Mellow Fever. I can’t get enough of this CD or the DVD and we’re all really looking forward to the newest installment Gustafer Yellowgold’s Infinity Sock due for release in February. For some sneak peaks, check out this post.

The guys from Recess Monkey are often hilarious on their CDs and I’m sure their live shows are a blast (sadly, we still haven’t seen them play live). Their DVD is no exception. Silly and now and then seemingly spontaneous, the videos on Field Trips with Recess Monkey capture the vibe of the band and will really get you and your kids grooving!

Laurie Berkner is on everyone’s list of favorite children’s performers. How is it that she can feel old school classic and kindie hip all at the same time? She really does have a sound that will appeal to just about anyone and her songs are super fun to sing along to. So of course it makes sense that you’d want to sing along to her DVD, Lets Hear It for the Laurie Berkner Band, too. And it’s even easier when the words for each song appear on the screen!
