Iris seems to like Finley Quaye’s weird voice, so we’ve listened to songs from his first album a lot. When we listen to the title song, “Maverick A Strike,” which is mostly percussion, we go around the room drumming on everything we find. She claps her hands, or taps blocks against the fridge, or hits the counter with a wooden spoon. She can’t keep the beat, but she tries.

This is the first time we’ve listened to “Peggy’s Kitchen Wall.” I think we’ll add it to the rotation.


Most of these songs are available on iTunes here.
