My kids LOVE music. We have a dance party nearly every night befroe bed, and between my music collection and now MOG we have nearly limitless music to tap into.My kids love using the music service -- my 6 year old takes her favorite books and dvds and types in the titles into the player and listens to whatever comes up.

Kids Music
Critics
I once, for a number of years, fancied myself a music critic. It started when I was 18 years old.

Nick Cave & Russel Crowe -- Gladiator 2?

Artist:

The headline may pretty much says it all, but Sasha Frere Jones at the New Yorker writes a little mreo ind-depth on what exactly is going on.
