[black stallion]

Thats pretty cool, Kjetil! Is he also going with you to concerts?

It means less beer for me

[ZOMBIE-BUDDHA92]

Congrats, man!
that is one awsome son!
the first album I bought was either slipknot or marilyn manson when I was..11 or 12
I "evolved" and found the melvins at 13 (Black flag a few months before) , now 15,16 in a month.
Anyway your kids have great musical taste.
And I applaud them.

I like this thread.   it brings up a subject that I've been pouring over for the last month or so:

The Evolution of MELVINS Fandom
or: melvins; you ain't born liking them

  I would like to present to you a theory I have created based upon roughly one year of research.  the theory is as follows: the human mind is not genetically encoded to enjoy the music of the band MELVINS.  instead, the pleasure derived from listening to MELVINS is gained on micro-evolution lane.     my guinea pig, my daughter.        now to the actual research.     my daughter, who as you know by how much I carry on and on about it, is roughly one year old.  I have been playing the music of the melvins to her since the first month of her existance.  she listens to melvins almost every day  in my vehicle as I transport her to and from her day care.   I always make a point to check her reaction and facial expressions as she listens intently to whatever selection I have made for the day.  one day ozma, one day (A)SA, one day the bootlicker, lately NWB, etc.     she never seems to have any positive reaction to any of it.   she just basically sits there with this somewhat puzzled look on her face.  like she is making no connection what-so-ever that this is music she is listening to.    then, at her first birthday she was givin some strange little Fisher Price radio-ma-jiggy that plays classic nursery rhyme songs when she pushes the large orange button. the first time she did this she looked at me with a large grin and began to move her body to the music. I was amazed that she instictually new that music was to be danced to.  and she was obviously enjoying herself.   therefore I deducted that the pleasure of music is genetically placed in a human before birth.  but in order for that pleasure desire to move on to such things as MELVINS it must first take the path you and I took.  starting with "the teddy bear's picnic"  moving on to popular music, moving on to (example) heavy metal or punk, moving on to MELVINS.   this process usually takes a mimimum 15 to 16 years.

so be proud chrisandre.   by my theory your child is more evolutionarilly advanced by a good 5 years more than other children his same age.


god I'm an idiot.

My son is three and he asks for "the green one" (H.A.T.) alot.  We went to a parade that had drummers, the next time we listened to H.A.T. I told him what we were hearing was the drums, just like in the parade, now as soon as the drum intro starts up he looks at me wide eyed, smiling, and starts kicking his feet like he's moving to the music.  He likes to play with Matchbox cars, I've had the Melvins on at the house and he has told me "this music makes the cars drive fast."  As far as a primal reaction to music, there's definantly something to it.  The first time Dies Irea came on he sat there with a confused look and asked why the music was scary, then told me he didn't want to listen to anymore, not satisfied until I actually took the CD out.
