No Kayo Dot or TMV for Daddy?

He rejected dredg for being too metal. Then I said "but you thought Kayo Dot is fine!". "Oh no, they're more experimental, you can tell that."

He didn't reject TMV, but wasn't too into it either.

Polo, you seem fanatic with Dutilleux already.

INORITE

Oh we don't talk about it that music. The biggest father-son connection I felt was once when I listened to Wish You Were Here for the first time and I suddenly mentioned it. "Oh yeah? Cool. Great album." "Yep." ... (Me again:) "I think it's better than Dark Side." "INORITE"



On the other hand, every time a new AC/DC or Deep Purple arrives in his mail, he puts it on speakers and suggestively air guitars towards me. Com'on daaaaaaaaaaaaad

INORITE I've never had a conversation about music irl.

Any party with good beer and good food is a good party for me.

I've never had the necessary knowledge to talk classical music with my dad.

I'll count those as my next in the playlist, then.

Meh. I hate that I didn't grow up listening to good music and that I had to find it on my own.
