Thank you for the Luna nod. I love that song and sometimes I wonder if I was the only one who listened to it.

"A Man You Don't Meet Every Day" is the Pogues song guaranteed to make me cry, and I don't even know why.

Hold up. You used to read a magazine called Murder Dog?

I'm glad you're not asking me, because I have no answers. I'm just glad to I got to it before it was deleted, because I've been going back and forth between them again all morning. And yet, oddly, I have that will.i.am and Brittney song in my head….

Thank you for saying it.

I was listening to the new MBV but the description of this on NPR was so interesting I had to pause the MBV and give it a listen. And…. wow. That version of "Love is the Drug"? Wow.

Look, I know I'm old. And I apologize for taking a year's worth of confusion out on you, especially since you're asleep right now and might be hungover when you read this, but…. seriously? PBR? For fuck's sake, being ironic doesn't mean you have to drink shit beer!!! Surely there is some equally ironic beer you could…

I wish I hadn't read this because I have a stupid crush on him and I don't like to think he'd be that much of a dick.

Our approach has been to make them listen to whatever we're listening to, which is admittedly pretty diverse. The only concession to child-ness was Dan Zanes and Friends, which we like too so it's no hardship. The caveat is that we recognize that marketing is a powerful force, so my just-turned-nine daughter loves…

To be surprised by this requires that we assume two things: the anyone on that network watches anything on PBS, and that they are capable of critical thinking. I find it hard to assume both.

Never underestimate that I have coloring.

Yep. Me too.

I wouldn't let my daughter watch it until recently - she just turned 9 - because of those eyes! The eyes and the needle in that little case…. jeez, that scares me just thinking of it.

Your baseball is boring America. No e!

Since we all agree there's something mighty 1996 about all this, I will now make a joke about Justine Frischmann feeling left out because she felt things too, man, and she wanted us to feeeeel them too.

We may have watched different movies. I didn't see Hushpuppy as a noble savage at all. I saw this is a tear-inducing parable about growing up and losing the luxury to have childish fears.

So, he's, like, a master of deconstruction? He's so deep, man.

Le singe est sur la branche!

My daughter, who has since turned 9 but was 8 at the time, told me not long ago one of the things on her bucket list was to see David Bowie. My first response was, jeez, I don't even have  a bucket list. But then I reflected and decided I'm an okay mom if she would pick Bowie over Bieber. THEN I realized it was kind…
