If my baby made a mixtape

November 20, 2015

My 15-month-old son is really into music. But despite my best efforts to indoctrinate him with Ramones and the Clash, New Order and the Cure, R.E.M. and Sonic Youth, he insists on being his own person with his own particular preferences. The nerve!

His musical palate right now is situated somewhere between Burning Man and an episode of “Scandal.” I don’t know how that’s going to shake out as he grows up, but in this very moment, his taste rocks.

Here are some of his favorite jams:

Don’t You Worry Bout a Thing • Stevie Wonder

 

Tell Me Something Good • Chaka Khan and Rufus

 

Take It As It Comes • J. Roddy Walston & the Business

 

i • Kendrick Lamar

 

Alright Alright Alright • Mungo Jerry

 

Lovely Day • Bill Withers

 

Janglin • Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros

 

Friend of the Devil • Grateful Dead

 

I Love You and Buddha Too • Mason Jennings

 

6AM • Fitz and the Tantrums

That last one is no surprise, as E is up at 6 a.m. EVERY DAMN DAY.
