kid music that won't make.....

....you want to barf!!!   I'm sure by that first statement you can kinda sense that I'm not a huge kiddie music fan.  I can't grasp the concept of Kids Bop or dumbing  numbing down music for 5-10 year olds sect.  And to top it off, I think most of childrens music is just awful.  Thankfully, I found two children CD that make my heart happy and my children dancing about the house.  Seriously, I'm having a hard time saying that these Cd's are kids music because there that good!  Yes, I know that they are geared toward children, but these tunes a freaking catchy.  Not the nauseating,completely irratating "purple-dragon-( he was a dragon, right? ) Barney-type" of catchy, but the "this-is-a-really-cool-music" catchy.

• Here Comes Science is absolutely brilliant.  I feel brilliant after listening to it.  I know I'm not, but for those few minutes, I'm brilliant.  This is a children's DVD/CD from the musical group, They Might Be Giants.  The songs are extremely catchy and filled with an abundance of scientific knowledge.  I really enjoy the entire CD/DVD  but my faves are:   Meet the Elements and I am a Pathologist. I'm very impressed with both the CD and DVD.  If you don't have it then you need it.

• Family Time is such a beautiful and heartfelt children's CD.  I've been a fan of Ziggy( Bob Marley son) since he was with the Melody Makers.  When he went solo, I kinda lost sight of what type of music he was making.  Thankfully, we've reconnected with his latest ( actually 2009.... I'm always late.) endeavor, Family Time.  Family Time is a children's CD that adults alike can appreciate and enjoy.  I love all of the songs on his CD, but if I had to pick two faves it would be: Family Time and I Love You, too....okay, just one more, Future Man, Future Lady.  Seriously, his entire CD is amazing.  Love it.

I hope you enjoy these two gems as much as we do!  What are you listening to lately?
