What's in Little S's CD Player, Oct. 08 edition

If you've seen my post on Lecia's delightful blog,  A Day That is Dessert, then you'll know that Little S and I are big fans of the Seattle band, Recess Monkey.  We listen to them all the time, attend their concerts and even appear (briefly) in their video.  But, as Jack from Recess Monkey told us, if you don't rotate your CDs, you'll get bored of even the best music.  

Here's what's in our 6-disc changer:

1.  Central Services Board of Education.  We have a pre-release version of their upcoming self-titled CD.  With songs questioning whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable, sharing fun facts about the number eight and imagining a post-global warming world where lobsters live in Space Mountain, the music makes me smile and I often learn something new - like the story behind the inventor of pavement.  Don't miss their CD release party, Nov. 15 at Town Hall in Seattle.

2.  John Vanderslice, Pixel Revolt.  Recess Monkey loves John Vanderslice and includes "shout outs" to him in nearly every album ergo . . . Warning: this is not kid's music!

3.  Recess Monkey, Wonderstuff (Disc 1).

4.  Justin Roberts, Way Out.  Justin Roberts was my first introduction to cool kids music.  He is a great musician and storyteller.  We play his Picture Day song every Picture Day.  It makes the hair brushing just a little easier.  Justin will be in Seattle, Nov. 14.

5.  Recess Monkey, Tabby Road.  Did I hear the voice of Little S's friend during Under My Bed?

6.  Justin Roberts, Pop Fly.  Pop Fly will stick in your head for days.  So will Stay At Home Dad, just ask Mr. S.

Happy listening!  Sherri"Just Say No to Purple Dinosaurs"Lynn
