Music to knit to
Knitting is a nice thing to do. But it can feel very outdated and a bit too homey as well. I like to feel hip and cool, also while I'm knitting. The Stitch 'n Bitch movement has done a lot in making knitting hip and the internet is making crafting very modern again. I think that's great and I'm totally going with that, but sometimes you need a little more. At those times I play these songs by Franz Ferdinand (links to YouTube below; copy/paste the http-address if the link doesn't work). Some people might think it is just a lot of noise, but to me it is the perfect antidote to the stay-at-home-mom blues you get when you are really a 'struggling' webshop-owning Artist (met een grote K/with a large A).
Enjoy the noise:

This next one is the first song I heard from Franz Ferdinand. The video is very 'arty'.

'Some people' might understand my music choice a bit better now.
Playing air-guitar and hitting some bucket-drums with toddlers, pre-schoolers, first-graders and pre-teens goes very well to these songs too.
Franz Ferdinand will save us!
