The time had to come eventually. My kids are now one of my most effective means of discovering new music, which is absolutely awesome as far as I’m concerned. It’s about time actually!
Saving the occasional Bieber-slips (…), they have pretty good and eclectic tastes, ranging from electronica to alternative, old classics to experimental. This makes me quite proud since I perceive enjoying a wide range of musical genres as a good path to a multicultural vision of the World.
The last two albums they introduced me to were:
- “Consolers of the Lonely” by the Raconteurs (rock).
- “Biofear” by Paul Baraka, a Montreal composer (electronica).
Never fear, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve and being an avid music listener myself, I’m sure to enlighten their repertoire with other musical treasures of my own for a long time to come.
But it sure feels great to now have a reciprocal relationship with them on the music front! :D
My turn for today: just bought “Lights” by Archive and will get the kids to listen to it with me (or on their own).
Nikolay made me discover Archive while we were sharing a cottage in Seaside, FL, last week. Joanna kindly recommended “Lights” as the 1st album of theirs to get when I asked on Twitter.
