The New Favorite Song
Before we flew to my parents' house back at Christmas, I became obsessed with having enough toddler-entertaining material to keep Edan occupied in during plane flights -- whatever I could do to avoid being stuck with a screaming 2-year-old while trapped in tightly-sealed echo chambers soaring miles above the Earth.
As part of the process, I bought a $10 walkman and spent a couple hours making mix tapes -- which, as it turned out, Edan never listened to.
But during The Great Purge that's accompanied our move, I stumbled upon the See You on the Moon CD that I bought to mine for kid-friendly musical material. The album as a whole is a little too sad-bastard/hippy-dippy for my taste, but the second track is SO GOOD. Because she's a discerning indie-rock connoisseur in the making, Edan asks me to play this truly awesome song over and over and over.
It's her new favorite.
After you've listened to it, imagine a three-year-old singing the chorus. It's the cutest fucking thing ever. Click here for a sample.
