I finally got around to buying some tracks from Electric Version by The New Pornographers. Both of their albums are fantastic and you should check them out. And listening to them on the headphones while the kids watch Play With Me Sesame… well, watching muppets sing “We’re twisting incognito with no time, can’t talk / can’t tell if this is fantasy or culture shock / or remnants of a golden age that’s near mint unplayed / or a welcome overstayed beneath the lightshow” has its charm.
