I leave all info regarding children's music to my esteemed colleague Warren at Children's Music That Rocks. Last week the children of New York were on some kind of a break (Spring? Late Winter?) and the joint was hopping. As a result, I never had time to see what Warren had posted in his free time. As a result, I haven't seen until now his posting on the children's album ComputHer. How cool is this album? Says Warren:
With an almost fanatical loyalty to computer systems of yore, ComputeHer, aka Michelle, has created an album of hyperdanceable tunes using an old Game Boy, a Game Boy Camera, a Commodore 64, an Apple IIe, an Atari 2600, an old Nintendo, a couple of Texas Instruments educational games, and a keyboard here and there. She goes all out and issues her CD, Data Bass, in a 5 1/4 in. floppy sleeve to the delight of us oldsters.
Awesome.
I was feeling all slick when my co-worker informed me that Mo Willems was responsible for the art found in and on the Park Slope Parents CD. Once again Brooklyn is at the top of its game, borough-wise. "Park Slope Parents, New York City's largest online parenting group and a resource for countless Brooklyn parents and kids, has released a CD of children’s music featuring 17 songs by well-loved musicians celebrating family life in the big city." I loved that they were kind enough to mention reviews from three of my favorite children's music blogs out there: Zooglobble, Kids Music that Rocks, and The Lovely Mrs. Davis Tells You What to Think.
Then I saw that Mr. Willems already posted about it.
No scoop for me.
And for the opposite technique (piano arrangements of video game theme songs) no one can beat Gori Fater. Here's my sentimental favorite -- a fourteen minute performance of the original Sonic the Hedgehog themes. *sigh*
