'Paug Parents!

Oh, yeah. Contact, Bathtub Gin off the album, sure--plenty of material. It's not like a ban, just a general aversion.

Her vote + my vote = me losing  :roll:

There is always daddy/daughter Thursdays, right.

I feel you on that. 

But for some reason I am allowed few precious things to have control over, well, a majority say in really... one of them being music.  Thank goodness because otherwise there would be some really awful crap being played.  She may not like it, but she can respect it.  Thanks wife.

When I first moved in with my wife we shared music space on a boombox.  Now that I have built a decent system with full audio, visual, and computer integration, I rule the sounds in the house.  She always knows that she can throw in a cd whenever she wants, but she owns maybe 80 or 90 cds worth total.

My wife married the music collection too. Her vote isn't that powerful.

Whoever mentioned 'hectic jams': Phish isn't playing anything more complex than some of Mozart's best works.

Let shit get weird, it engenders imagination. Don't discourage experimentation.

That there is--plus a rare dad-daughter Tuesday, today.  :-)

And rj, trust me, you're preaching to the choir here:

The way I was using the term, it's the set of timbres and loud overtones that make good rock jams 'hectic,' as opposed to the complexity of the composition. I'd associate 'complexity' more with number of notes, level of syncopation, number of chords, changes in harmonic structure, etc.--and here the Mozart comparison is dead-on, I'd say.

Have you even been in a kindergarten class during playtime?
Kids can handle chaotic noise.

[sunrisevt]

Dude, I know! This stuff about the playlist at our home is all about choosing my battles on the homefront, not whether or not my kid can handle the noise--in fact, she's screeching out an "I need a nap and I hate everything" solo jam right now.

My little digression there about what makes music 'hectic' was just that--a digression, only tangentially related to the conversation about kids & music.

[willsteele]

My wife shits on Kung, vaccuum solos, schreeching noises of any kind and the like.  Therefore I leave them out entirely.  Strictly for her sake.

Wonder if there has ever been any studies about music and fetal development.  There are studies about music and plants so there would have to be I would think.

[rowjimmy]

My wife has no vote on music.

You guys are screwed. How could you cede that sort of power?

[Igbo]

My wife has no vote on music.

Harumph!

You've placed the answer before the question, sir.

[rowjimmy]

Life is too long to have to compromise on music.

[willsteele]

Ha..  She has no control over music in my household.  Clothes, medicine, food...  fine.  Take it.  Music?  Hell no.

I've joined that club as well. I can listen to as much  as I want, but I have to plan ahead and skip some of their weirder, goofier, more experimental moments.

So pretty much everything?  :-P
