A couple years ago, it seems like half our friends squirted out babies on about the same weekend. These babies are now getting to the point where, if their parents are not vigilant, they will start to listen to a lot of Really Sucky Music. I took it upon myself to burn CDs of child-appropriate Beatle songs, of which there are a suprising number, and of which a suprising number come from the White Album (which, if it didn't also include "Why Don't We Do It in the Road," and the sadly Manson-associated "Helter Skelter" and "Piggies" [which continues to freak out my wife to this day], would be perhaps the greatest children's record of all time).
Anyhoo, above is the adorable artwork I was rewarded with for my stageringly kind magnanimousness by the offspring of a co-worker. It makes the threat of financial ruin at the hands of the RIAA seem almost worth it. And below is the playlist I used, if you'd like to make such a compilation for the 3-year-old in your life.
