Here's an exhaustive list of the music leading up to, during, and the 5 or 6 hours after Baby Flapjack was born. All completely awesome.
Alan Pasqua - Russian Peasant
David Torn - Lars And The Real Girl (soundtrack)
Tracy Chapman - Crossroads
(back to Lars And The Real Girl - was playing as he was born)
Steve Lawson and Lobelia - Live In Nebraska (I played it too him about half an hour after he was born)
Theo Travis/Robert Fripp - Thread
Rosie Thomas - These Friends Of Mine
Rob Ickes - Road Song
Then this morning, we listed to Pat Metheny's 'One Quiet Night'.
There you go - all brilliant natal and post-natal music. Highly, highly recommended.
Here's a Spotify playlist of as much of this stuff as is on there...
...our live in Nebraska EP isn't on there, but it is here -
Oh, and what's also a MUST for the delivery room if you want music is an Altec Lansing Orbit speaker - incredible quality sound from a tiny tiny speaker, connects direct to iPod, or anything else with a headphone out (I use it with my Nokia N97 around the house) - best gadget I've bought in YEARS.
