when i'm real old, i'll still be listening to aphex twin, autechre, jega, cylob, squarepusher, and whatever else comes up between now and then. i wonder what people are going to think of me because it seems odd to other people, not just an old man listening to that kind of music (although my computer teacher listened to techno and he's 60 or so) but the music itself is odd to others. |

yeah. i'm gonna love playing all my cds to my grandchildren (presuming my bollocks don't fall off or something). "grandpa, what kind of music did you listen to?" "i used to listen to this..." *sticks on an afx cd* "aah! memories!" "that's shite and boring grandpa" so then i'll kill them and go and live in los angeles. it'll rule! |

Them: "What's your favorite song?" Me: "Alberto Balsalm" Them: "Who in the what now?" Me: "It's electronic music, this guy Aphex Twin" Them: "Oh you mean like techno music?" Me: "Not exactly" Them: "Well does it have words?" Me: "No" Them: "So like trance music?" Me: "Well its computer generated/synthesized music" Them: "So your favorite song is made by a computer?" Me: "I'll destroy you and everything you stand for" Them: "I have to go now" I get that alot. |

i hate having to explain to people what i listen to. i think it helps to say abstract or experimental that way they know it means it's not normal electronic music. |

Back in the 60/70s, elvis was quite cutting edge, people who were between 10 and 30 years of age probably said they would never stop listening to elvis, now they still listen to elvis and it sounds like a load of old shite to most of us young 'uns, times change, your gonna get left behind wether you like it or not, you're gonna play that cutting edge electronica (as you think it is) to your grandchildren and they shall laugh and steal your slippers. |

I dance to a lot of aphex...not like a dance I could do with anyone else like wierd interpretive shit. I dance to Boards of Canada alot too, they have those slow steady beats. Oh and I dance to squarepusher's - Tommorow World all the time, I love that track, I'll be bumpin' to it until I'm 92. |

I think I may "grow out" of music at about 30-40 years old. It seems to happen to everyone, I hope it doesn't happen to me. But then again, most people don't like music anymore because they think the shit in the charts is the only music that exists. My dad used to like rubbish like Travis etc until I showed him some of my good CDs he would have never heard of before. In return, I also like bands he liked as a child/teenager such as The Velvet Underground, the Beatles, David Bowie, Bob Dylan etc. |

Yeah, when I told my teacher once that I liked indie he said "what, like oasis?" They were popular at the time but I thought they sucked. I replied with "No, decent bands you haven't heard of, ASSHOLE" and the whole class laughed. This may or may not be true. |

Hehe, I had a teacher who was a lesbian. The funny thing was that she was teaching us sex education. So when she asked us if we had any questions, everyone asked things like "why do you sleep with other women?". Even when she explained herself people kept asking, until one guy asked "why does our PE teacher always keep scratching his balls?". She replied with "maybe he doesn't wash enough"... so the next day we told him she said this, she broke into tears later after a big argument. Etc. Aaah, those were the days. |

I played SAW85-92 to my dad once, and he said it sounds like relaxation music. Then I played him the RDJ album (in the car, as he was driving) and this is what he said: (pointing out a nearby motorbike's engine noise) "You should sample that for one of your songs. At least it keeps a steady beat!". So basically what he's saying is it's either too repetitive (saw85-92, mike & rich) or not repetitive enough (rdj album, go plastic etc.)... Bah. He also thinks I can make music better than SAW2.. Although he does quite like the music by actual bands like Tool, Living End, early Metallica etc. I think anyway... My mum likes NIN, Marilyn Manson, Gravity Kills, Garbage, Faith No More, Filter, etc... |

i've played jega in the car with my dad and he didn't seem to mind it. he asked me mostly about how to make it. i also played sawII in the car with my uncle and dad and they said it sounded like a whale. my mom likes to listen to newer metal and hard rock and also rap/hiphop. there was also this drunk/stoned guy at my house when i was playing the rdj album and he said it was like led zeppelin (sic). |

I do wonder whether sometimes parents say they think this or that is pleasant because they are just trying to be pleasant. I've never felt that parents genuinely like music like Aphex its not their generation really. I don't think they genuinly appreciate it so I'm not gonna really live in a fantasy world about it. |

My Dad likes Jon Bon Jovie.....He is not impressed by Jega !? I wonder why...... |
||||||||
|
|
