my parents aren't really into my music, but my cat used to
love sitting in my room while i listened to green day and
nirvana back in 6th grade...now when i put on aphex or ae he
gets a funny look in his eyes and goes all twitchy!

Now that I think about it, GYBE is probably a better example
of my music for my father (or brother), but it's not really
IDM then, is it?

my parents thought it sounded like a washing machine on a
spin cycle. As for gantz graf, they just looked at each
other and didn't say anything! However, my mom quite like
the Orb and the Ozrics so that's some progress I supose! :)

my dad thought parhelic triangle was the washing machine
breaking (my room is opposite the laundry in our house)..
his comments on saw2: 'i bet you could make better music
then this, yeah?' ..

but he said saw85-92 wasnt bad, when i played it to him in
the car once..

he called incunabula 'mood music'

and most of the other stuff he calls relaxation music .. or
soundtrack music .. a couple of years ago he called all the
music i made/listened to 'rap' .. eheh

so i dont really show him my tracks anymore, no matter how
much i like the melodies/sounds.. dont think he really has a
tolerance for stuff that is electronic, or isnt played
live..

My dad pulled up the the driveway one time and he was
listening to the saw1 tape i left in his truck..

My dad is a big redneck that chews tobacco and hunts deer
and watches NASCAR... he said he liked it.

Ha ha.........these old folks. (roll eyes).

My mom tries to be a cool hipster and listen to it, my Dad
just tells me to throw the adult contemporary radio station
back on. WHat a n00b.

My mom thinks Reniform Puls sounds like a bunch of hi-tech
farts... and there was a topic about that last week or
something! Now I can't listen to the track without giggling
like a Japanese school girl, because of you guys and my
mutha. Thanks a lot. Ruined it for me!

my mum digs luke vibert (but only the album with the hawaii
sounds) and boc and sp. and some early aphex

but my dad is as narrow minded as a funnel... every time i
pull out my equipmet to make music he goes like 'get this
crap outta my fucking room'.. and one day i was playing
pennywise (punkrock) and he asked: 'so this is aphex twin
right?'

my dad thought æ's 'nine', 'krib' and 'vletrmx' were nice

also when i was playing hasty boom alert at my parents house
and he entered the room he told me to leave it on when i
wanted to turn it off :)

Aww....it's cute when parents try to enjoy the interests of
their kids. (tear). Hasty Boom Alert is a killer song
dude.

My dad's a pure eccie head. He goes out clubbing at the
grand old age of 45 with his night-glo sticks and
everything. He's an embarrassment. He keeps on telling me
that ae are pretentious cunts and that i should get into
some real hardcore trance. All my mates take the piss out of
me because of it but at least he gives me the odd eccie or
two.

Haha, I like the Aphex story .. my mom does similar things.
It's funny because she tries to learn the names of my stuff
but still has a ways to go. Like, usually I am playing
Autechre and she asks 'Is this Orbital?'. That one's not
*too* far off, but still. The funniest was the other day
.,. I think this was it, though I'm not sure: I am playing
Dead or Alive, and she says, is this Autechre? :) Bless her
heart, trying so hard!

Lets have a competition everybody! play "Befriend a
childkiller or all the children are dead
to our folks and see who can last longest without being sent
to the padded room.

my dad thinks this 'dance' music is way too repetitive, but
i tried out the latest QOTSA album and he liked that one.
next time i'm passing by home i'll try out ADF and slowly
and with subtle moves move to harder darker stuff (but i
don't think it'll work out.)

classical lovers always enjoy SAWII
