Playlist for the new baba

paddylonglegs

Would like to put together a playlist of laid back tunes for the wee fella to play for him. Would love to hear some boardsies suggestions to help him chill out. Some I have already are:

Beatles - blackbird
Fleet foxes
Lisa hannigan
Fink
Nightmares on wax
Air

Bring it boardsies!

Thanks

tom waits. not an obvious choice maybe, but for me his songs have a real nursery rhyme quality. especially songs from blood money and alice albums.

Mr E

Go for a bit of trip-hop - some Portishead, Morcheeba, Massive Attack etc.

I dunno is it alternative and might do your head in completely but moby s album was extremely effective in putting my three to sleep.... And me i might add.

Lightbulb Sun

This is a good one from Lisa Ronstadt.

Rock classics reinterpreted as lullabies. I really like Be My Baby, haven't heard the full album in a while though.

This is bit of a strange one and I'm in no way comparing a dog to a baby! But whenever I put on Slow Dance by The Flaws my dog used to sway to the music for a little and then drop off into sleep very quickly, very odd but it worked all the time. No joke. :P

Gremlinertia

Elbow, bellx1, autamata, calexico, eels, garbage, cardigans, blur, goldfrapp and royksopp.. *phew*

(tried and tested on the young fella from two months on)

Margo Timmins has a voice made for lullabies
