BABY WE WERE BORN TO ADD: Right after a long holiday weekend, it's important to review a little serious scholarship to get our heads back into the seriousness of the workweek. Thus I offer this up -- some scholarly criticism of the music of Sesame Street.

Explaining why the monsters' discography warrants renewed focus, L.A. Weekly's Jesse Walker explains that "'C Is for Cookie' was my first favorite song, and for my infant self, the monsters’ chorus at the end was every bit as sublime and important as 'Like a Rolling Stone' or 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' was for some future rock writers." Amen. Power to the monsters.
