Omaha's Tilly and the Wall, a band so cute they could test a puppy's patience, have recorded a music video for the upcoming 39th season of "Sesame Street". Parents will be pleased to find that Tilly's "Sesame Street" video is an educational affair. It's their version of the immortal "ABC Song", and it will air on the beloved children's television show this fall.

Before the video airs, Tilly and co. have a busy summer. Their third album-- technically untitled, though folks are calling it O-- comes out June 17 on Team Love, and they've scheduled a large North American tour to support it. The latter half of that tour brings together Tilly and the Ruby Suns.
