Hank Williams: 20 of Hank Williams' Greatest Hits
Grace is partial to this one here.
Todd Rundgren: Something/Anything?
Thanks, Greg, for the introduction.
Erykah Badu: New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War
Only listened three times thus far. Hasn't grabbed me as much as Mama's Gun and WWU, but I'm guessing it will with time.

I have now put Elijah and Grace down for naps or their evening sleep at least 950 times (probably closer to 1100). Sometimes they go down gently, sometimes not, and when they don't, I still struggle hearing them cry. I suppose that I generally handle it better than, say, 900 times ago, but there are still times when I can barely stand it.
Dear Grace
and Elijah-
You’re
almost at fourteen months now, and I have some questions, dears.
Please be
honest in your answers, and confirm all my worst fears.
Are you
getting enough sleep, stimulation, beta-carotene?
Lessons in
life and language; legumes/lentil beans?
Calcium,
climbing, crayons, comfort, cleaning, care?
Art,
attention, the alphabet, properly filtered air?
Are my
neuroses rubbing off on you? Guaranteeing you future angst?
Will your future
treating therapists be forever giving me thanks?
Vegetables,
minerals, milk, carrots, peas:
They are my
obsession: Eat them for me, please.
Are you
getting enough playtime, downtime, learning time, fun?
Are your
grains whole enough, is your chicken properly done?
Tell me
that you’re happy; your growth is properly paced,
That your
palate is properly challenged; you’re developing a healthy sense of taste.
Is there
enough cash in your College savings account? Heat in your room?
Did I ruin
your entire sleep last night, by putting you down too soon?
These are
my obsessions. They’ll go away, one-by-one,
To be
replaced by nagging new fears, sure to be twice the fun.
