You know, the greatest joy in having heard this CD is now I have a song in my head (courtesy of the band Bugs Eat Books) with the repeated chorus line of "Ian is going to New Zealand/he's going to join the Bats" in it, and since my son's best friend's name is Ian, I have this great song to torture him with. And isn't that what being a parent is all about, getting to torture someone else's kid? Other than that, I love this compilation - it's so light-hearted and fruity and happy that it's impossible not to like, unless you only like sad music. Notable contributors to this disc include I Am the World Trade Center, The Medoza Line, Saturnine, and Mesopotamia.
