do androids dream of electric sheep?, or, baby's first playlist

there are big changes happening at the baron and the husband's house*, not the least of which has to do with the baby kicking forcefully enough to be felt by hands on the baron's belly. because the baron and the husband are original thinkers (wink, wink), and because the baby is at the stage where he can (supposedly) "experience" things outside the womb, they have lately been reading to him. 'shouts and murmurs' mostly, but also 'the westing game'. most recently, they've decided to introduce the baby to music; the baron fell asleep last night with a pair of huge headphones securely affixed to her big, big belly. baby's first playlist looks a little something like this:

good day sunshine (the beatles)

near wild heaven (rem)

shine a light (wolf parade)

find the river (rem)

country feedback (rem)

shine a light (the rolling stones)

dream operator (talking heads)

one fine day (david byrne & brian eno)

stay (faraway, so close) (u2)

the funeral (band of horses)

heroes (david bowie)

*other changes include a new roof, 9 new windows, a new refrigerator and stove, and a new car. it's been a busy month. also, this past weekend dumped a huge amount of snow on maryland. see photographic proof, below.
