MEMORY TAPES: 3RD DECEMBER 2010

We're keeping it in the family on Memory Tapes this week, as Jo Sargeant explains...

"We have put together some playlists for our three year old. He's loved trains for ages so we put together a 'mixtape' of train-themed songs for him.

"When they're really little they don't always 'get' good music but if it has a theme they relate to, it becomes special to them.

"These songs all have a reference to trains and some of them even have station announcements or train sound-effects! I like that fact that a lot of them have a train-like rhythm. I don't think I could 'sell' them to my son as 'train songs' otherwise!"

Here are the tracks in question:

1. Train Round The Bend - Velvet Underground

2. Train To Nowhere - Dead 60s

3. Train - Goldfrapp

4. Day We Caught The Train - Ocean Colour Scene

5. Broken Train - Beck
