Muttertagsmelodien *

Die netten Männer von NPR's All Songs Considered haben einen interessanten unendlich langen Stream zum Muttertag zusammengestellt, dessen Inhalt von Brahms' Schlaflied bis hin zu Kanye Wests "Hey Mama" reicht.

This year, give Mom a link to our continuous music mix — the gift that costs you nothing and involves no thought whatsoever.

Everyone has had a mother at some point. She might be a benevolent and nurturing giver of kisses, or a coldly manipulative taskmaster, or even a clump of wire onto which you clung helplessly as part of a twisted social experiment. But chances are good that you still feel the pull of guilt and social obligation surrounding Mother's Day.

So why not tell Mom you love her — without doing so directly, of course — and send her a link to this page? These four hours of motherhood-themed songs (from Smokey Robinson to Dvorak, from The Pretenders to Lucinda Williams) will give her something to listen to while she waits in vain for your phone call.

* Ich könnte schwören, dass es im ZDF schon einmal eine Samstagabendshow gab, die diesen Namen trug.
