Following on from what I was saying about trying to play the baby death metal the other day...
This is basically a fecking great plug for a company called Baby Rock Records. They release albums of lullabys.
Lullabye versions of Tool!
Or The Smashing Pumpkins!
Or The Cure!
Or Radiohead!
Queens of the Stone Age!
Pink Floyd!
Nirvana!
Metallica!
Led Zep!
And more!
I realise that I've just sold my soul by hawking their products, but check the soundclips! Can you imagine anything more excellent than a baby getting down (to sleep) to Welcome Home (Sanitarium) or Goodbye Blue Sky? Or 2 + 2 = 5?
Let me say this on your behalf; no, you can't. There is nothing more excellent, save a Marillion lullaby disk, and I think I'm pretty safe in thinking I might as well whistle than wait for that. I know it's basically just the normal songs re-arranged for glockenspiel. I know that. But it's still very cool, okay?
Since I have now sold my soul hawking Baby Rock Records' wares, if they fancy sending me the complete collection, that'd be great. I'm just thinking about the baby, y'know...

K___'s getting slightly annoyed at the way I keep writing about death metal as though I really like it when in fact it's really just 'Opeth' I like and actually I'm a Prog Boy but like to pretend I'm into cooler stuff so that I'm down wit da kidz.
ReplyDeleteShe spoils all my fun.
Oooh, no e in lullaby (ah, this illogical language of ours). Sorry - am still at work and in work mode :)
ReplyDeleteTotally cool idea! Then in a few years, you'll just need something to play in the car that the child will like and that won't drive you nuts...
MrsWhams: How dare yu sujest their mite bee spelling erroz in this blog. Franklie its dephamatary.
ReplyDeleteSuzysabroad: Fucking Pan Pipes? Oh, you really know how to hurt, don't you? It's an interesting point though. Perhaps it is better to grow to hate 'London Bridge is Falling Down' than something you like, but on the other hand, I'm pretty sure I could manage to listen to a glockenspiel Smashing Pumpkins track without wanting to hammer a knitting needle into my eardrums for longer than I could 'London Bridge is Falling Down'...
Apologies for the long delay before commenting. Something about having a child around the house has prevented me from reading and writing as much as I used to. I'm able to do a little catching up tonight though.
ReplyDeleteA prog rock man like yourself may not have already heard of Apocalyptica, but it's worth checking out as lullaby music as well. When K asks, just tell her it's Wagner's lullaby opera.
PapaB - My best mate Matt has a couple of Apocalyptica albums, but I hadn't thought of them in this context. Good call!
