Can you remember Michael moonwalking across the Motown stage?  The first time you heard Radiohead?  How about the crowd booing when Dylan went electric at Newport?  We’ve been brought up to think that all the great musical moments have passed and that everything from now on is just a sad imitation of the past or a horrible gaudy send up of youth in a plastic package.  Well, put away your curmudgeon card, we are actually fortunate enough to be living in a phenomenal time for music!  Indie music that is!  

From Freak Folk to Synth Pop to Grunge Rock there is an endless stream of talented musicians that are as good at making Pitchfork proud as they are making timeless catchy music that will be around for ages.  Now instead of talking about Hendrix you can talk about Sufjan’s Fifty States Project or the time you saw Devendra and his Hairy Fairies.  And now you can celebrate all that music and more with this incredibly original Indie Rock Coloring Book!

Rest assured though, you don’t have to be an indie music connoisseur to appreciate this adorably illustrated coloring book.  Each image is a stark, inventive, and hilarious take on both the music and the fandom that surrounds it.  But there is another all too important reason to get your powerful parental hands on this book…

To this day my father will never let me live down a certain moment of childhood ignorance.  Let’s just say it involves the Beatles and Mariah Carey, and my belief that one was infinitely better than the other.  It hurts as much to type that insinuation as much as it did to know I once thought Vision of Love was superior to While My Guitar Gently Weeps.  Don’t let this happen to your kids!  Get them while they’re young!  

Fill their impressionable ears with music that will last like Bon Iver and Rilo Kiley, not saccharine tween pop acts that sprung forth fully formed from some frightening middle-aged man behind a soundboard.  There is no better gift than the gift of taste, but you have to be given it when you’re young.  (Just kidding, food, shelter and education are more important, but a little taste can do a world of good in college!)

Make sure you’re one of the cool kids this year with the only coloring book known to man that references Karen O…seriously, your kids will thank you.
