Do Fun Stuff. Buy Cool Album. Support Good Cause.
Monday, August 30, 2010 at 8:14AM Everybody likes fun stuff, right?
Do Fun Stuff is a "kids album for parents". If you've ever cringed at the 300th repetition of a Barney jingle or gotten a bigger kick out of Feist's appearance on Sesame Street than you rightfully should have, this album is for you. I mean, why can't we enjoy the same music as our 3-year-old?
(My favorite is Morton the Caterpillar. I may like it a little too much. What? I keep hoping that someday I'll be the beautiful butterfly, okay?)
This album is the brainchild of Ryan at Pacing the Panic Room, who obviously has a lot of talented friends (all of the artists donated their time & music). If you don't follow his blog, his oldest has Smith-Magenis Syndrome, a relatively under-researched developmental disorder. 100% of the proceeds will go to a grant fund that he's established for grad students who wish to make SMS their field of choice.
If you click the monster below, you can preview the full album online as well as buy it on iTunes. If it's not your thing but you still want to help, there's a handy little 'donate' button. You can also put the monster on your own blog, link to it on Facebook, or tweet using the hashtag #dofunstuff.
(Did I buy it? Hells yes. And I immediately put it on my kid's iXL learny-thingie to replace the obnoxious singing monkeys. Nothing good can come of singing monkeys.)

My daughter was wanting to listen to my iPod last night. Hmmmm.... Although I think she was really interested in Party in the USA.
I have 56 wordpress blog but I have no shame to say that your one blog is worth of all my blogs. And this one is the best complement I had ever given anyone

You know, that's not half bad. As someone who occasionally loves Veggie Tales and a little They Might Be Giants, I could do this one on occasion.
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REEEEAAALLY appreciate this post. I am going to puke if I have to listen to "She'll be coming round the mountain" or "Yankee doodle" one more time. It just plain hurts. Thanks for the tip.
I'll pimp it

Singing monkeys?? Argh!! Nothing good at all!
