One sign of good music is if it makes you want to move, to dance around your bedroom while your stuffed animals look on with approval. Rockdownbaby's fabulous extended play CD Love & Sex & Rock & Roll meets this criteria and then some. The beats get right into your bones, and there's a nice variety of them, a fresh mix of pop-electronica-indie-dance songs that are already getting radio airplay and being used in film and TV.

The CD has seven songs, with "I Am Your Rockdownbaby" the hands-down highlight. The song has a wonderfully funky bassline and terrific electronics and electronic voicings. It's sort of Studio 54 meets 2006, and it's the kind of song that gets everyone off their seats and onto the dance floor. Other songs have more lyrics, and on these Rockdownbaby's writing talents shine through: "Soul Connection" is a cheerful paean to love, "Baby Baby" is a languorous song about longing for someone far away, and what's not to like about "TV Dog", a snappy song about a demented vegetarian tattooed dog. The CD wraps up with "I Feel My Sex", a song with a girl group vibe, a great guitar solo, and lyrics that would make The Shirelles blush.

Who is Rockdownbaby? Certainly she lives in New Jersey, but from there it's all speculation. Some say she's a redheaded database manager at a Fortune 500 company, others say she's a mild spectacled housewife, and another source claims she's a 19-year-old who helps her dad with his potato and cucumber farm. But never mind all that: this is great music, and if the world is kind and just, Rockdownbaby will release more music someday very soon.
