Can you put this on my next CD?
It's easy knowing when 10-year-old music fan Kerstin loves a song: She requests it on an upcoming CD mix.
We were driving to the library recently when a song passed her litmus test.
It was "Holland, 1945," one of the fuzz-rock masterpieces on the epic "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel.
The song opens with some great lines:
"The only girl I've ever loved/Was born with roses in her eyes/But then they buried her alive/One evening 1945."
That was it for Kerstin.
"Can you put this on my next CD?"
Sure. I don't mind furthering the indie-rock education of my kids. I'll do anything to keep them away from the unoriginal drivel that fills the airwaves most of the time.
