Not Diesel, Steam, or Gasoline
on Oct 22 in Uncategorized by DanThis week’s fat club report is delayed somewhat due to me forgetting to send an email to everyone asking for their results. I’ll post it up hopefully tomorrow
I’ve well and truly lost anyhow, with both Ian and Kerry leaping ahead of me yet again. Well bollocks to them, it’s a stupid contest anyway. Whoever suggested it in the first place is an idiot.
I’m going to go and eat another packet of Oreos in order to console myself.
In the meantime her is our families new favourite song from our new favourite album from our old favourite band. I defy you to not love this. If you have yet to check out They Might Be Giants excellent range of kids music then I strongly suggest you run out to the shops right now. I’d personally start with No! and then move to Here Comes the 123s and then Here Comes Science
In fact, I feel a children’s music podcast brewing…

I got this album for the kids the day it came out, and it hasn’t left the CD/DVD player since. They hate this song, however. Much more to their liking is “I Am a Paleontologist.” And “Roy G. Biv.” And now I’m singing . . .

@tysdaddy, Actually I must admit that i was lying a little bit – like your kids Amy doesn’t like this song very much. Evan and I love it though and dance along in the car.
I actually enjoyed that, as I did you calling yourself an idiot.
Have you got all those albums? I’ll swap you an Indiana Jones boxset for them.

@SingleParentDad, That sounds like a great deal. You’re on.

I had no idea TMBG even did a children’s album until now. I live in a cave, under a rock. Or something.

@Kevin Spencer, well at least you now get to discover the delights so it’s not that bad
@Kevin Spencer, the Barenaked Ladies kids album is worth a go too.

Oh crap, sorry, I forgot it too. You’re right, it’s a stupid competition and the fact that I’ve put on 1lb isn’t colouring my opinion at all. Harumph.

@Barbara, I’m going to give it a miss this week. I’m pretty sure next week Ian is going to win though.

Children’s music podcast. Check out Caspar Babypants. Chris Belew from The Presidents.
Maybe you remember my post where I stalked him on the freeway?
Anyway, it is good clean fun.

@Seattledad, I’ll have a look, thanks.

it does sound like a future commercial song though (I like it) :P
Up till a couple of weeks ago I only knew their track ‘Istanbul not Constantinopel’ which is awesome btw.

@Arjan, TheyMight Be Giants are a great band. One of my holy trinity (alongside Ben Folds and Barenaked Ladies)

I dig.

@Erin, groovy

I think that TMBG regular music is great for kids, as well. My daughter is older (13), and we didn’t get her many kids albums. But we listened to Flood quite a bit, and she loves most of it.

@J, Flood is a great album. Sometimes it takes a few listens to actually get into TMBG’s stuff, but once you’re in you tend to stay in.
