Music for babies
Because I'm about to have one, I've been thinking about this. What sort of music do babies like? Why? The focus tends to be on the (bizarre, snobbish, Frasier Craneesque) Baby Mozart phenomenon which argues that if you give your baby a soft toy which plays Beethoven's 9th on a monophonic tone generato he'll grow up to be Simon Rattle, and the (really funny in concept but basically fucking unlistenable) Punk Rock Baby CDs.
But is there some commonality i what they like. Yesterday I decided that disc 1 of the Trojan Upsetter box was perfect baby music, because I think of the plinky toplines. Those with children - what sounds do they like?
