Sound + Vision

What sounds should Hazel & baby be listening to? Some people say that if baby is exposed to the sounds of Mozart, in future the baby might start composing nameless symphonies with numerals for titles, all on a bad hair day.

Besides the lovesongs, ambient & classical compilations, here are a selection of stuff that baby will be tuning in to:

Kings Of Convenience (I attended their sold-out Esplanade gig...pure acoustic heaven)
David Sylvian
Jack Johnson ("Sing-A-Longs & Lullabies for the film Curious George")
Enya
Suzanne Ciani
Madonna's ballads ("Something To Remember" CD, not....er, "Confessions On A Dancefloor")
The Cardigans ("Life")
Air Supply ("Love Forever" 2CD)
Kenny G

I am very tempted to add in Nine Inch Nails because I firmly believe the right of baby to be a rock dude or chick. It's cool by me.

Her good friend even bought her a CD meant for expecting mothers with chinese words all over it. It has cryptic titles like "Gyni's advice to expecting Moms" & "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" sung by an exuberant China kid to a robotic synth beat. Heh, very indie.

What sights should Hazel be looking at? Some people say that if mummy looks at beautiful & cute pictures of baby, in future the baby will be born looking (of course) beautiful & cute. I know angmoh babies look the cutest, but doesn't anyone want their baby to look like them anymore?

Some people say. You can never question who these people are. Whether they are one or many. Whether they are young or elderly. Whether they are logical or superstitious. Whether they are right or wrong. Whether they are too free or too intellectual.

...like I said, some people say.
btw, "Sound + Vision" is a really cool & bouncy song by David Bowie (Rex & me were in the front row at his Singapore concert...we are not worthy...).
