- Jason Collett is a member of Broken Social Scene and solo performer. His forthcoming album, Rat a Tat Tat, comes out March 9. Dan Zanes has released six children’s records with the Grammy-winning group he fronts, Dan Zanes and Friends. What’s one thing they have in common? Exceptional taste in music, of course. Here they’ve cherry-picked their must-listen MB tracks to download, so your family won’t have to make do with adult contemporary radio or whatever CDs you find under the front seat of the family car.
