I’m cool like that.

I was discussing new! and edgy! music with my cousin the other day and I was feeling oh so ahead of the times. I can’t take all the credit because I get a lot of suggestions from others who are way cooler than me. I sent him along to lastfm and told him to look up this artist or that group. And, because I thought of it, I sent an invite to my other cousin, who has similar taste in music as me, so that we could share playlists and so that I could point her in the direction of my friend, who’s musical finds are always ahead of the pack.

And then I looked at my playlist.

The Wiggles are my top artist of the week.

Laurie Berkner is up there too. And Jack Johnson. Though I don’t view him as a musician for children, clearly he’s big in their world and I’ll admit that the album I was listening to is entitled Sing Alongs and Lullabies from the Movie Curious George. I’ve got a few interesting picks on my list but I think you lose street cred when a band whose groupies include three year olds, dinosaurs and octopi is at the top of your list.

And there’s this: whenever I fill out a meme (which I’m wont to complete when clients put a pause on their financial ruins and work is slow) and one of the questions is, “What is your favorite song?” I’m so tempted to give this as my answer.

Listen to it and I dare you to tell me you don’t tap your feet to it!

To make matters worse, I’m going to my first concert since Aerosmith, the night before my wedding shower. Seven years ago. No, I’m not going to see Foo Fighters, Matchbox Twenty or Ingrid Michaelson.

On Friday, we’re taking the Beans to see “Elmo Makes Music”. Should be fun. Aside from the fact that we’re going with two other sets of twins (and their parents…I’m not that crazy), I’m sure it’ll be a nice, relaxing evening full of progressive music and kick-ass stage performances. And, I hear Elmo plays a mean guitar.
