yeah.
to me thats a HUGE appeal of the kumquat cd.  the silly, childlike element
to it.  fits nicely with jj perrey/g kingsley stuff, some land of the
loops, that mario paint silliness that came out on irdial, the conlongib
piece on the lucky kitchen video game collection, this odd le tone 12" i
have with a dragon on the cover..

my 4 year old brother digs this stuff.
his name is andrew.
he also likes aphex twin's SAW vol 1, raffi,
barney (hey, before you knowck it, think of 
how bad the last cd you listened to was.. :)..
but he really goes wild for the meco version of
wizard of oz.
oh, and he likes dark, hard jungle.


go figure?
