Peervalidated will update our website everyday for the remainder of this old year with a few of the great things we missed. It could be because we’re lazy, it could be because we didn’t hear of it, it could simply be because we forgot. Here’s one such band/song/genre/etc…
Pictured: Blitzen Trapper are here to babysit. Yup, even the dude on the right.
Sure it’s easy to get jaded while doing an mp3 blog. You’re a hipster, writing about hipsters for hipsters. It’s easy to lose sight of why you’re even listening to music in the first place.
Kid music has recently took a turn for the disturbing. I don’t want my future kids bumping and grinding to pre-teen girls talking about how all the boys want their milkshakes. Old fashioned, I know.
Indie-kid-comps can go two ways; self-aware-cynicism, or if it does its job, self-aware-amazement. For the Kids 3 is one of the latter. With inspired tracks from Anthallo, Of Montreal, and Great Lakes Swimmers, this is more than just a recycled, ass-sounding Beck track.
Blitzen Trapper definitely has the best song on the whole comp. Share it with your 10-year-old niece or nephew. There’s no kinda party like a hyper-kid dance party. Please enjoy the poppy, dance goodness.

The title track is like Bowie meets the Band. I picked up the vinyl, and it was like throwing backwoods country, Wowee Zowee era Pavement, glam rock, and fuckin’ techno in a blender and this is what you get.

the solution: take other, well-recognized people’s songs, and sell them! after you pay royalties its still more than one of your own albums is worth.
