I used to threaten my older brother that if he didn’t treat me nicely, I’d Christmas gift “The Bell Jar” to his tween daughters

hahaha

I remember being at a performance of Stockhausen's Gruppen and a couple had brought their son, who was like 4 or 5, and not being sure whether that was a great idea or not.

I didn’t really receive artistic guidance from my parents, probably for the better because I would have dismissed it, if only unconsciously. Come to think of it, of the small handful of albums my dad exposed me to, most are quite good, but to this day I’ve never bought them for myself. Meanwhile, when my musically savvy older cousin visited us when I was 10, it was groundbreaking. It stuck in ways it wouldn’t have with my parents, probably because it felt like a dispatch from somewhere else. I think a big part of music and cinema and art’s appeal for me in my adolescence is that it felt like discovering something from outside the dissatisfying world around me. I thought I’d do the same for my younger suburban cousins, but when I actually visited them it was just “is this really my job, to ostensibly save them from their suburban lives?” Paternalism backfires for a reason, and parenting/pedagogy that just seeks to reproduce sameness is NAGL.

My 11 year old is going to start drum lessons in the fall. I tried to get her onboard with my music project: Sweet Sister Ray in which the band plays “Sister Ray” for whatever the allotted time is. She was not enthused and I don’t know if we can continue to work together under these conditions, she has absolutely no respect for my genius. Quite frankly, I’m fed up with her and I’m going to find another drummer ASAP

lol

My dad cut off my drum lessons I started around 11, which came without warning or consultation. Although it turned out I have no sense of natural rhythm, it presages a lot of bitter feeling toward him. Make of that what you will

I once read some interview where the artist's mum took him/her to a screening of Salo when they were 18 or so..

I had a few marching drum corps lessons as a child. I retained nothing of them when I started playing drums in my teens. They remain the only music lessons I've ever had (despite playing a bunch of other instruments).

(xp) I think that was Gaspar Noe? I also think he was younger than 18.

xposts cow_art that is very dad_surprises_daughter_with_remain_in_light_lp_the_onion.jpg i love it

I took both the kids to see the Stop Making Sense rerelease in Imax

They liked it!

but some of my best memories of my childhood, particularly my teen years, involved watching movies with my mom,

Me too, but that's because my mam knew that I already had an interest in old movies. She also didn't make a big deal out of them, she would just point to one listed in the paper and say "you should watch this, I think you'll like it" and that's how I saw things like Casablanca and Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. The problem with kids not listening to linear radio or watching linear TV is that they never find stuff like that on their own because it's never just ON. So to some extent you have to steer them towards it if you want them to know about it.

Love this thread. My eldest kid isn't that into music yet.
My youngest has mini obsessions and has been earnestly creating playlists of computer game music to wake up to. Different orders for different days. He LOVED the Mario sheet music book I got them for the piano. Even when he was like 5 he wanted to play a Mario tune on his toy keyboard for the school talent show, so had to learn the notes and write them down (it was the Ghost House music from SMB). It was so cute.

things i don't care about in the utah outdoors:

arches
slot canyons and "canyoneering"

both in the category of "if you've seen one you've seen em all" imo.

what about buttes and mesas

I like big buttes and I cannot lie

My parents introduced me to lots of cool stuff but frankly the 90's media onslaught of "of course you don't like YOUR PARENT'S STUFF" felt much more oppressive to contrarian me at the time than any pushiness they could have mustered.

what about buttes and mesas

buttes and mesas are easy to appreciate as part of ecosystems imo.

arches = "derp there's a hole in the rock". at the expense of seeing and appreciating the entire erosion mechanism at micro and macro scale. idk they just don't do anything for me anymore. if i happen to see one i'll appreciate but i don't go out of my way, and where there's an arch there are usually like 20 other people at least.

slot canyons. i just think they're one of those places that people really shouldn't enter. maybe as some kind of ritual. really narrow slot canyons are death traps, devoid of life. to spend all day spelunking in one just doesn't do a lot for me. i like narrow canyons that harbor life though, so the virgin river and paria river narrows are cool in my book. you can see how water erosion works over and down into sandstone well enough in those.

UK defence spending.

oh i care, just in the opposite way to the war boner posse

UK military is mostly nothing to do with defence, more to do with a centuries long fascist vanity project for the ghoulish war-mongering brit ruling classes. I get very animated and pissed about this shit, genuinely wish I didn't care tbh!

Russia to invade by 2030 lol

you might not care, but boneheaded killers paid for by the arms industry take it very seriously indeed.

there should be a Trumpian rebranding of the MOD, something like "Ministry of Genocide and Neo-colonial meddling in Africa and West Asia" because them cunts are not defending anything other than UK elites plundering and weapons of death interests.

The bad news for them is that most young people don't give a fuck about their preposterous, unsustainable proxy war against Russia or whatever bullshit they want to come up with next. The conditions of dying for these cunts requires a social contract and a level of faith in the UK democratic system that has whittled away post 1979 to non-existent.

I forgot add Zionism, yes, they will defend Zionism and the foul Zionist entity, in a manner prioritised well over the interests of UK citizens, human rights, human decency.. honestly the UK military is already way too expensive for a island nation much smaller than Japan. That bald orc resigning because Kieth won't sign off on mountains of dead disabled people for an extra £40 bn. That shit makes my blood boil. Some hack was describing him as "honourable" yesterday, in other words the bald cunt is owned by BAE
