OMG you guys! Dooce and I are like totally great minds thinking alike! This morning I was listening to Man Man on my way to work and thinking about how once I have a child, none of that crap “Wheels on the Bus” stuff is finding its way into my house. I’ve already got a ton of music I want to play for my (YOUNG!) kid, while they are still susceptible to my influence, including the Decemberists, Beirut, Kate Nash, Brian Eno, Talking Heads, Matthew Dear, the Pentangle and lots more (without even branching into the ambient sleepy-time music). It’s all music that seems bouncy and fun (or just simply pretty) enough to keep a tiny brain entertained, yet it’s quirky and intelligent enough that we can enjoy it as a FAMILY.

I’m so far removed from that train of thought. I’ve re-read this post a few times in the past few weeks and I just don’t think in “family-friendly” terms. In fact, I think I cussed in front of my friends’ kid the other day at lunch. I’m terrible.
