Kindie Rock?

Before Little Man was born, I promised myself that I would continue to listen to the same music that I always did. A mix of classic rock, alternative, a sprinkling of country, classical and anything else that I wanted. Not giving in and letting Elmo's Greatest Hits dominate our world.

Funny how we forget about promises that we make to ourselves once we have kids. :D

3 of the 6 CD slots in my car stereo are filled with "Little Man's Music". Music from Yo Gabba Gabba! (not so bad), Soundtrack from Pinocchio, and a CD that guarantees to say Little Man's name at least 28 times!

I admire a friend of mine who exposed her daughter to "regular" music from day one. This kid loves the band Coldplay! How cool is that?!

But today I read an article in the USA today about Kindie Rock. I knew there was cool kid's music out there (thanks to our friends Dave & Stacy) but I didn't realize how much.

So if you peruse iTunes and have kids, look up these artists!

Justin Roberts - Jungle Gym, Caspar Babypants - This is Fun!, Frances England - Mind of My Own, Elizabeth Mitchell - Sunny Day, Lunch Money - Original Friend, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo (cool name!) - Underground Playground and Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem - Ranky Tanky.

Now I can maintain my "Coolness". (Honey! I can hear you laughing in the other room!)
