There’s a lot more to a children’s CD than just the music itself… “The Ballad of Phineas McBoof,” which chronicles the formation of a band, is full of characters whose stories “encourage kids to follow their muse.” Doctor Noize… believes children find more meaning in something when it’s attached to a figure they care about. “Every single character on the CD is somebody who decided to do his own thing despite the fact that people don’t understand,” he said.
