Stopped at Poppy’s this morning, and she tells me that she bought the Peapod—get this—an mp3 player in the shape of a rattle that plays when you shake it for Christmas. Cool and progressive for a 1 year-old, right? Pop, however, doesn’t live in the world of mp3s, so since she digs my taste in music, she asked if I would come up with a playlist or two to load on to this thing. Even better? She wants REAL music, not kid-friendly pablum.
Boing!
Thing is, she wants music of ALL genres, not just the mostly alterna-rock-hip-hop-electronica-bang-your-head-kill-your-mother stuff that rocks my world, so I’d like to enlist the musically inclined for help. What I’m thinking so far is that any selection should make you want wiggle in your chair if not get up and dance outright; for example, I’ve had Arrested Development’s “People Everyday” on a loop for the past half-hour. But it can be jazz, country, classical, really anything as long as it won’t scare a 1 year-old. As for language? Well, the extent of Peapod’s lexicon right now consists of high-pitched shrieks, zherberts and laughing like Horshack, and Pop hasn’t told me to knock off my sewer-mouth yet, so I don’t think that’s a requirement.
Hit it, y’all.
[UPDATE: I’m reopening the comments to continue the conversation, spammers be damned. Also, told Pop that we’re doing this, and she did issue a language advisory, though she also pointed out that the Peapod is a big fan of Rob Zombie (just like her momma and Auntie Broad) and that her current favorite ringtone is “Fergalicious,” of all things, so take that with a grain of salt.]
Hm
Decisions, decisions.
Two that Wad can handedly recommend…
Creation, “Making Time”
“Ooo La La”, the Faces
Both from the Rushmore soundtrack, which Wad is currently listening to. An excellent soundtrack to boot.
Were the Wad feeling more perverse, he would delve further into the collection… Let’s look at the random selection from Amarok…
“Whole Lotta Rosie” by AC/DC? Maybe not…
“Vampira” by Devin Townsend? Hm. No. But “Sunset” from the same album would be good.
The Spawn always liked “Renegades Of Funk” redone by RATM.
Ha. “Stackolee” from the Black Snake Moan soundtrack. No, not so much. But maybe Mannish Boy…
“Love will tear us apart”?
“Regret”?
“True Faith”?
Not unless she wants Goth Spawn.
The “Mad World” re-make?
“As I sat sadly by her side”? “O’Malley’s Bar”?
ooo! Ooo! Ooo! “I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in”... Kenny Rogers…
Yeah. That’s the one....
Oooooo, I dig “Sunset.” Nice. Like that version of “Ooo La La,” too.
Kenny Rogers - snerk. I have the Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings version of that one. Poor Dap Kings, having to languish with Amy Winehouse.
“Renegades”—Spawn comes by THAT honestly, n’est-ce pas?
Maybe we should throw some Tom Waits on there. Or Nic Cave. What do you think?
I’m a fan of a few songs on Thom Yorke’s The Eraser. And it Rained All Night, but I don’t know if that’s wiggle music. How about Jurrassic 5 or The Roots? Diggable Planets? I’m totally giving you diamonds here.
I can see the headline now: “Mom found bound, stuffed into closet; 1-year-old found humming death metal”
Yeah, actually, the Spawn wandered in Wad’s office one night whilst Wad was thrashing about.
Spawn thrashed as well.
Though, he’s also a big fan of “Dirty Deeds”
And Nick Cave was mentioned. “As I sat...” and “O’Malley’s Bar” are both his. But we forget “Stagger Lee” and “Loverman”.
And “Red Right Hand” FTW!
And for the record, Wad doesn’t see any death metal on there at all…
Hahahahaha! Damn right! I think of you every time I play that song. Still the best mix CD EVER, though when I uploaded it into iTunes, it sounds scratchy.
"best mix CD EVER”?
hm.
post a tracklisting of the “best mix CD EVER” and Wad will arrange for a dl location of said tracks.
Dl location? Am I going to be able to figure out how to retrieve them?
You made it for my 30th, back when it took forEVER to download music. Don’t you remember bitching about it?
The list, in order:
Big Brown Beaver
Rock is Dead
Radar Gun
It’s a Long Way to the Top
Suicide Solution
Just One Fix
Red Right Hand (FTW!)
Du Hast
Ultimate Sin
Don’t Like the Drugs
Human Beings
Won’t Get Fooled Again
Throw “Girl’s Got Rhythm” on there, too, if you got it.
