Comment:


The one-and-only French Connection and his daughter (7 going on 17), along with me and my daughter (12 going on 20) put this little transatlantic morsel together over the past couple months.Sidebar: The Big Star track was from a show (free, of course) that The Wad and I were at in college. Unfortunately we were too cool at the time to enjoy the show and just mocked the pizza hippies, as was our wont.

Wonderful...I hope to be doing something similar with my son in a few years.

Many thanks for compiling this Doowad (and for providing the link) Freja is in bed fast asleep now but she'll be sooo excited when she sees this tomorrow.

Looks very intriguing, especially for those of us who have daughters. I'm not surfe I'm ready for a mix with my daughter's taste in music, but who knows?

Perhaps there should be a subtitle: pFres et filles.

Such a lovely document guys and girls and some great picks too.

I would attempt the same with my little whippersnapper but fear that James Blunt might bring things to a halt, maybe next year.

A perfect threesome to kick off with. Family mixes are the way to go....though I think it'll be a while before K and I unleash a cool kid on the world.

Speaking as a father of daughters, I have to say this looks just perfectly applicable. Something I'd play for the girls, even, to ensure they come with excellent taste.

I always knew that doowad and Frenchy were big fans of Paramore. (-:
Looks like a great activity. The four of you picked a lot of cool stuff. Of course now you Dads will get the phone calls "My kid looked at your daughter's mix and now our computer has a virus."
