DADDY TURN IT OFF!
A really touching post from Simon Reynolds describing his son's inability to stand M/A/R/R/S or house. Needless to say, I can totally relate to this--what happens when the stuff you love becomes a parental/generational tool of torture?
Probably Simon would agree with me that the kids not only listen differently, they listen harder than we ever did. I mean, I not only tolerated Pablo Cruise and England Dan and John Ford Coley when I was 7, I loved 'em. Yup, hip-hop saved me in more ways than I can ever say.
My boys demand their favorite song be played over and over every day on the way to and from school, whether it be "Milkshake" or "Callin' Out". Their current big tunes: Serge Gainsbourg's "Des Laids Des Laids" and Parliament's "Give Up The Funk". And no, I don't know how...!
