Do Fun Stuff | Children’s Music for Parents

by Caleb on August 30, 2010

Let’s face it: most children’s music makes parents want to put their heads through a wall after about the third listen. Luckily Ryan of Pacing the Panic Room and friends have put together this fantastic compilation album meant to please children and parents alike.

But Do Fun Stuff is much more than a children’s album that doesn’t suck. 100% of the proceeds of this album go towards fighting Smith-Magenis Syndrome, the details of which you can read about below. Ryan is personally invested in this fight, as his step-son was diagnosed with SMS in March 2009.

So there you have it. Great album, and for a good cause. Why wouldn’t you buy it?

Here at TEM, I talk about two things that make a man stand out: style and character. The style part of that equation means that I talk a lot about things to consider buying. But when the things you’ve bought no longer interest you or serve any purpose, the character part needs to kick in. [...]
