the baby on the bus goes NEAT NEAT NEAT!

i mean mentioned it: *i'm* linking it

That kid is on DRUGS!

it looks like its had botox.

i remember once hearing a cd of childrens songs that had been done in a "punk" style. i can't remember who or why, but i quite clearly remember a rendition of "the grand ol duke of york" done with a fake accent "he had ten fousand men" type of thing. oh and apparently the lovable Wiggles used to be a punk band (lovable aussie band that do kids songs like "toot-toot-chugga-chugga big red car").

Nah the (pre-Wiggles) Cockroaches weren't punk - they were very straight-down-the-line pop.

'Pretty Vacant' sounds exactly like Mum.

After the disappointment that wee Jackson Blair (13 months) wasn't keen on the Raymond Scott 'Soothing Sounds' series I am pleased to report that he , erm, digs the Buzzcocks one the best. Which is how it should be.

record of the year! even if i haven't heard it.

Actually a question. I'm making a mix for the newborn daughter of friends - music they'll enjoy and can also play for their baby. They have wide-ranging tastes so pretty much anything goes.

What have/would you put on a mix for a baby?

"We Can Be" - Well hung Parliament

Previously covered in a thread:here

Catch up on wee Jackson's taste btw. Still keen on female blues singers, likes Madonna a lot too. And he likes Disco.

I can't really recommend a CD FOR a new baby, he didn't like any soothing music at all. He was actually dancing to 'Bustin Out' by Material, and 'Me No Pop I' by Coati Mundi... I say 'dancing' though It looks like the poor wee guy has inherited my 'rubbish at dancing' gene. He was enthusiastically bobing up and down by bending his knees though. I'll show him the sleeve notes one of these days and that'll wipe the grin off his face and take the spring out of his step.

What is nice (and easy if you have one of the file sharing applications and a fast connection) is to make up a CD of good songs either by people with the same name of having that name in the title as a gift to mum and dad. Whats the we'an's name?

her name is Aisha, so already got Khaled's Aisha on there. Other stuff I'm looking at right now is for example, Coltrane doing Inchworm - stil searching for most of it as now.

Quick look at audiogalaxy 293 matches including:

Death in Vegas, Magma, ABC and Tool - even with the duplications and mispellings there are a couple of dozen interesting looking ones, enough for a CD.

I picked one at random by 'Polskie' to download - seems to be popular in Poland, will report back if its any good
