   Our house has been filled, lately, with Jack Johnson. As it turns out, Izabella seems to be soothed by the sound of his voice.

   Whether Amanda is referring to her own taste or to the taste of the current “kids these days”, she’s pretty much nailed it.

   Define “kids”…
   I’m still young. My current favorites are Kings of Leon, The Killers and The Fratellis. Well, I guess I’m not the standard…
   I hear Katy Perry is very big right now. And, as mentioned above, Hannah Montana.
   Oh, and my boss’ kids like those High School Musical things waaaay to much!

   My kids like like Martha and the Vandellas.

   I don’t have kids, but if I did, I would force them to listen to Norwegian free jazz. I’m not kidding either.

   I dunno, but I’m sure they’re up to no damn good and those little BASTARDS ARE ON MY LAWN AGAIN! ARGH!

   Anyway, my children will be encouraged to listen to nothing but Skinny Puppy and Royksopp. Then they’re good, I’ll lock ‘em in their room and pipe in Kim Cascone. That’ll teach ‘em to iron my shirts right next time.

    “Then, if they’re good…”

    Frankie Goes To Hollywood

    I agree with TJ McFisty.

    I dunno, my brothers are listening to pop country and pop rap. What each of those constitutes is a mystery to me. All I know is that I have no interest in sharing their musical experience.

    Inasmuch as I fit the definition of “kid,” it varies based on my mood. I grew up listening to Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Three Dog Night, Simon & Garfunkel, the Lawrence Welk Show when we visited grandma. My rebellion was Metallica, and after dad died Guns ‘n’ Roses, Pink Floyd. Ben Folds is right up there with my all-time favorites. He kind of spans various stages of my listening.

    And then I said (tongue-in-cheek) to a friend the other day, “I’m only listening to melancholic instrumental post-rock right now. That’s just who I am right now.”

    But I suppose I probably don’t fit the definition of “kid” very well.
