The Candy Band.

I keep meaning to share this fabulous find with you Internet but I'm really not a music person so it makes it difficult for me to say anything intelligent about music. I say things like, "I don't know...I just like it!"

Mostly what I like is that this music doesn't make my soul shrivel up and die and my kids love it. And I love when stay at home moms have a life full of things other than....Gymboree and playdates. Also they're local and that's kind of neat too.

Here is an article about them and this is their website. It's kind of a blog because everyone has a blog now. Right?

They sell their cd's on the site and also t shirts which Madison is DYING to have. It's currently the 'bribe' for 5 happy smiley drop offs at school. We're at 2 smiley drop offs and 13 14 non smiles.

I'm also not ashamed to say we have our cd loaded on the iPod.

But it's not on my running mix. My running mix includes songs like:

It's been 4 months and still I'm dying!

What stupid asshole thought running was a good idea?

Anyhow. Check out Candy Band I predict big things for them. Since I know absolutely nothing about music.

Girls... you rock! This is Starburst from Candy Band, and I couldn't help myself, I had to respond to your Candy Band comments! Thanks for the compliments, we created this music especially for parents... we were sick of mind numbing children's music, too. Anyway, I love your website, and being the parent of a 4 year old and 8 years old, I remember those "early days". Keep rockin'!!!!!

There's more to life than Gymboree?

You're kidding!

I just went and watched their Today Show video. Seriously, they are rad!! (And I never use that word.)
