music CDs for kids
Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2007 7:19 pm
Most of the time my boys are listening to whatever we are. Old rock, R&B, funk, blues, trip-hop, my wife's dance stuff, punk, whatever. But sometimes they just want "kid stuff."
Raffi and shit like that makes me want to kill. Good stuff as an alternative to the usual Barney and Friends massacre-inducing drivel:
1. Boynton's "Philadelphia Chickens" and "Dog Train." Hilarious, many guest artists. She did an earlier one "Rhinoceros Tap," that wasn't nearly as good.
2. They Might Be Giants have two kids' albums: "NO!" and "Here Come the ABC's." Again, both are really funny for adults as well as kids. This has the added bonus that musically, TMBG are always all over the map. You don't know what they're going to pull out next.
GDG!
