The winners of the 2007 Fids And Kamily Music Awards were announced on Saturday. Don't know what the Fids and Kamily Music Awards are? It's the best children's music released in the past year, as voted on by nineteen writers, radio programmers, and others involved in the industry. My personal favorite, For The Kids Three!, came in at number twelve.
Apparently everyone else must in the world have been busy the past few weeks, because they asked me to write an essay for them. So I wrote a piece about mixing your music with your kids' music. Because even though your music is far cooler, you still need to let them be kids. Here's an excerpt:
Kids are the world's greatest music critics. Their tastes haven't been clouded with the opinions of pretentious music journalists. They simply enjoy music. They don't care if it's no longer hip to like SelloutBandDuJour or that Top 40 music is considered uncool. They like what they like. Basically, as long as you don't cram your kid's iPod with funeral dirges, you're in the clear.
