MEMORY TAPES: 21ST OCTOBER

After last week's triumphant Memory Tapes where, basically, a compilation saved a relationship, we're back to musical educations. Alice Westlake writes...

"Here is the tracklist for a CD I made my son for his 1st birthday. Obviously at the time he didn't appreciate it too much but as the years have gone by (he's now 5 and a half) he really loves this playlist, and both he and his brother are huge Flaming Lips fans and refuse to go to bed without either Pet Sounds or The Soft Bulletin on the iPod.

"I tried to think of songs that were in some way connected to childhood, but I ran out so some of them are just fun tunes that I thought he would enjoy listening to - and I was right!" Mother knows best, obviously...

Divine Comedy - Charmed Life
