shaping minds,,,,

i am attempting to overcome the INFLUENCES of my lame-assed exhusband's MUSICAL tastes on my kids,,,,

i believe my kids should have their OWN experiences in music,,,
but i also want them to EXPERIENCE or TASTE a little bit of all the music that helped shape my mind,,,

but,,,i have thousands of bands i want to share with them,,,and aside from leaving itunes on for a month straight to play thru all the shit i've loaded,,,,,
and the fact that i don't have alot of the music i want to share,,,,

i need to come up with a shorter list of must listen to's in order to further their music EDUCATION,,,,

i think if they understand a little of the music behind my passions,,,they might be able to better understand me,,,,

of course they KNOW that i'm a freak,,,so there's no question there,,,,but i think they'll understand alot more of my HISTORY thru the music i listened/listen to,,,,

anyhow,,,its an exhausting task,,,,some songs bring back great memeories,,,others are exceptionally painful,,,
its all LIFE,,,my kids will know ME better thru it,,,
music brings open discussions,,,

i love my kids,,,,

kisses

 

Frank Zappa and the Yardbirds come to mind, throw in some Tom Leher to confuse them

 

in your case,i think The Cramps would be appropriate

 

Jet has a song ............"Cold Hard Bitch"

 

Cradle of Filth - Mannequin - http://www.cradleoffilth.com/

Dimmu Borgir - Death Cult Armageddon - http://www.dimmu-borgir.com/

Opeth - Damnation - http://www.opeth.com/

 

I just tied mine up
(zip ties are gods gift to parents) and put the head phones on um, stuck some Warren Zevon in the CD player, cranked it up and made them read your web page over and over. A few days of that and they started to like anything I told them to like.
...but seriously, just play the music your into, talk to them about it (if their interested). You can't force appreciation of the arts, just expose them to it.

 

so you want to brainwash them too??? let them find thier own groove ,,,even if it is the back street boys........this relates to cars?

 

<font color="blue"> </font> <font color="red">There are a few albums that I belive are essential for all people to have/listen to ........

Songs in the Key of Life ......Stevie Wonder
Whats Goin' On .....Marvin Gaye
Live At Folsum Prison.....Johnny Cash
Moondance....Van Morrison

I have many others but those give one a sense of how powerful music can be......

Music is HUGE to me...I have close to 1000 cd's.....some folks say it is too many and I can't listen to that many.. . .but I can always find a cd that fits my mood or situation.

Just my 2 cents worth

Well, what is the LAME stuff your Ex has them listening to and what is the GOOD stuff you want them to hear? Let's hear some stuff you are talking about.
Everyone has a different idea of what sucks, only about half of us KNOW what sucks.

Is your husband playing them Hank Williams, and you don't like it? Is he playing them Billy Ray Cyrus and you'd prefer the Hank Williams?

Do you want groundbreaking historical music, or do you want radio friendly popular PRODUCT music made for no other reason than to sell records?
Some of the timeless stuff that will be influencing musicians for years....
Hank Williams
Johnny Cash
Dylan
Zappa
Flatt and Scruggs
David Bowie
Velvet Underground
Beethoven
Strauss
Public Enemy
The Boss, early stuff mainly

 

I can't say... My 10yr girl is a Rammstein freak..thanks to her mom.

 

the blitz
adolescents
DRI (1st album)
suicidal tendancies (1st album)
MDC
rudimentary peni
cokney rejects
sick pleasures
agnostic front
septic death

roadsters.com - death metal! good shit... lots of good bands out these days.

hahahah

 

If they're old enough to sit still, take them to live music. A bluegrass festival is best. That is, if they aren't already teenagers and therefore hipper to everything than you or I. Take them to a full orchestra performance, get there early and let them hear them tune up. Let them see how music is made, they might have talent. Just don't let them believe that food comes from the store instead of the farm, or that music comes from a TV, or that the guy who fixes the car practices some arcane art not for mere mortals comprehension. If you play music loud, don't. Kids and dogs have sensitive ears. My kids and my grandkids have walked around on the bandstand and even sat on the stage monitors, but they were wearing Hearos (good ear protection).

As far as shaping minds goes…that's what they'll do to you.

 

One Song
GANG GREEN "Alcohol"

ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN

 

ROADSTERS.com i thought i was the only hamber that was blackmetal. thats awesome.. i just learned mannequin a few weeks ago.

They have to be introduced to the Clash and the London calling album!

 

Do you take the kids in the car? That gives you a captive audience for your musical tastes!

I use a buddy's rig to download and compile assorted mixed CDs filled with my obscure faves to play in the car. (No CD player at home!). Whenever I take my niece and nephew anywhere, they get a dose of Hack Tunes...got my niece into songs like the obscure rap comic "B-Girls", and they dig my goofy 70s disco and 80s retro pop stuf, too!

Funny to hear my little nine year old niece singing "Riding on the Metro" or "Disco Duck" now!

Anyhow...play your tunes in the car...it'll be hard for them to escape then!

 

my 4 yearold son started begging for we will rock you, heard it in a movie. so i bought a Queen cd. now he walks around signing bicycle race and several others. play what you like when they'er around. even if they dont appreciate it they will know its what you like and they will be exposed to it. pinball

 

sex and violence by the Exploited is a good song

 

Social Distortion (Mommy's Little Monster would be a good one...and suiting too!)
The Business (saw'em last night!)
Rancid
Johnny Cash
Bob Marley
Skatalites
Hank Williams
Mad Sin
John Coltrane
Billie Holiday
The Clash
The Cramps
Friends of Dean Martinez (great fuckin' drivin' music!!!)
The Pogues
Paul Weller
Al Green
The list goes on...this is cutting into my "car time" as my girlfriend says. PM me and I'll send some samples for the kiddies your way!

 

Musical taste are a very Primal instinct. All you can really do is expose them to several types of music, and there friends will as well.

They will eventually choose what they like. And be prepared to possibily not like some of it.

I like the Blues. I'm sad alot.

 

<font color="green">You're worried about shaping minds?

When you put that crap on your homepage out there for every kid old enough to turn a computer on to read?

Go figure </font>

 

my GOAL is to expose them to as much as possible,,,,

thirty-two,,,,i probabaly have the least amount of issues when it comes to my ex as anygirl that will ever kick your balls hard,,,,yet,,,i probably have more reason than most to have ISSUES,,,,
their dad can be very narrow MINDED,,,,
they might be giants,,,prince,,,,jayhawks/uncle tupelo/wilco,,,counting crows
thats about it,,,,
this is not about DRAMA,,,but about music,,,

i got home late from work last night and my boys and i started talking about music,,,
and music EDUCATION from their ma,,,,

i have HUGE range in music that i like,,,,but i'd like to make a set of cds that kinda give an intro to all different styles of music so they can EXPERIENCE the various sensations music can give you,,,,

i don't sensor,,,,
like i said before,,,i think a better understanding of music allows them a better understanding of people especially me,,,music IS memories,,,


anyhow,,,thanks for all the suggestions,,,,


kisses


oh and rashy,,,,
you really are a total idiot,,,

 

Check out sound tracks from movies and television. Kids and adults tend to associate images with the sounds going on in the back ground. I like to think I am open to atleast listen once to any music but I have my favorites just like anyone else. My mom put me onto Patsy Cline and Marty Robbins and my dad put me onto Led Zepplin and the Doors. My brother got me listening to Alice in Chains and my Grandmother got me started on Elvis and Johnny Cash. My cousin started me on the Reverend Horten Heat. The biggest influence for me though has always been movies. The music in Good Morning Vietnom, Hollywood Nights, American Graffiti, and (I know how gay this sounds)Cry Baby are some of my favorites. Right now as I write this I'm listen to the sound track to O'Brother where art thou. I'm not much of a blue grass fan but when I listen to it I relive the movie in my mind and it make me smile. Keep in mind that sound tracks often have a cross section of musical genra and even though your children think they don't like a certain kindof music you'll find that they are more open to it when there is another association involved.......way to serious a subject for me I gotta go set something on fire. Later.

Just chill and let your kids do their thing. And sorry but I find this absolutely not car related..... well unless you talk about what your gonna play in your car on the way to therapy for your kids...

 

So now we have a bitch calling a bitch a bitch because he was bitching about some bitch who PMed him to bitch about being a bitch?

Ain't that a bitch.

Don't forget to dose 'em with early Black Sabbath, Bitch.
