This is my 16 yr olds latest obsession. It annoys me how tinny it sounds, but it is annoyingly catchy. Got her two “vinyls” for her birthday.

Decided to get him an ipod classic from ebay and I will upload 6000 tracks of music I had on my old itunes / white macbook (loads of hip hop, house, garage, disco, reggae) 
Just hoping the laptop can withstand the music transfer

Driving my 13-year-old daughter to school and she put Joesphine French Edit on, do I win the thread?

11 year old just celebrated his mighty hammers winning by blasting quite a silly record by a guy called PAWSA called Pick Up The Phone. He asked me where I find music and I told him how I used to read DJ Mag. Muzik, Jockey Slut, etc. and he found this by listening to a DJ Mag playlist. Proud dad moment. I’m not explaining the lyrics to him just yet.

Not the greatest but I wouldn’t be too sour…dough.
On the other hand, if your reaction was “Focaccia’s sake’ that’s understandable.

With zero input from me, my daughter has got into dancehall. Torn between pride and horror that she knows every word of ‘One Man’ by Vanessa Bling.

The now 22 and 13 year old went to see Nas together at the tail end of 2024, so things are certainly improving.
13 year old is also very excited to be seeing Fifty Cent in the Summer!
Tbh I’m just happy that they get pleasure from music.

The world.of music moves fast in teens.
Just dropped off my son, who is now 17 at a mate’s out in Ascot. On the 45 minute drive there, I was treated, amongst others to the following
which he then went on to explain was sampled by Beyonce and I explained the whole Luke Solomon Honey Dijon connection
This absolute panel beater from Prague (which I like)
And then this, to which the conversation that preceded it went
“Do you know this one. Dad?”
“Absolute fave! In fact, I’ve been playing it since you were a baby, so I imagine it’s subliminally implanted itself into your brain.”
“Don’t be so fucking stupid, it’s massive on TikTok”
At least TikTok is useful for something.
What is great though is that both kids are now open to me making them little playlists on Spotify (don’t @ me), the daughter especially so, who is now 16 and is really into the early 80s electronic stuff (and the mordern take on it), so as you can imagine, I’m having an absolute field day!!
