Not so random play

The kid is currently deeply enamored of a CD of mine that he'd been listening to in my car (as we drive to and from places. I haven't banished him to listening to music outside of the house--yet). It's basically one of many, many CD backups of my MP3s that I made a couple of years or less ago, in a fit to do something useful with all the blank CDs that were lying around.

He's got an excellent ear for music, if I say so myself (and I do) and his memory for voice and music pattern recognition is eerie. He's definitely his mother's child in more ways than one: he fixates on a number of songs and/or singers and wants to hear them over and over and over...(I'm told this is actually pretty typical for a preschooler, but then that would lead to the conclusion that I am acting like a...naaaah!)

Anyway, in addition to Elliott Smith and Everclear (the boy also obviously has good taste), the other singer that is currently getting a lot of airplay off the one CD is Brandi Carlile. Good thing I like her, too. These two always get an encore play, even as her whole album gets repeated.

Closer To You - Brandi Carlile



What Can I Say - Brandi Carlile
