Well my kid is back to school. What music should I blast?

[tigereye]

Poll question: Well my kid is back to school. What music should I blast?

and I mean blast. And then I am going to go pound on the drums!

[TNDemo]

1. I think the Staples commercial has it right -

"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." At least that's the first line - it's a Christmas song.

[tigereye]

2. I thought I would feel more sad

but he is in 3rd grade this year. Now I'm ready to rock before work sets in... I gave myself a few quiet days to have a little fun before I get back to REALITY.

[Wapsie B]

7. Yeah, same here.

School starts and so does college football.

[tigereye]

10. maybe I'll get on a plane to Hawaii

;)

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. "Horses."

LOUD.

[tigereye]

4. that sounds good

or are you just givin me crap? eh? ;)

[Magrittes Pipe]

5. I do not give crap when it comes to Patti.

Other than that one thread when I said she sucked. That was just giving you crap.

[tigereye]

8. I didn't think so

:) How are ya? So do you NEED intervention?

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. No intervention for me, thanks.

Just "Redondo Beach" at top volume.

[tigereye]

11. not even intervention from Chavez?

;) well musical intervention, I suppose

[tigereye]

6. hmm Clash, Ramones, Patti

what about the poor Art Ensemble?

[AmandaRuth]

12. school started, school started school started......

I'M FREE FREE FREE!!!!!!!!! TIME FOR ME TIME FOR TIME FOR ME!!!!! OH YEAH OH YEAH.........

ps I voted clash, may go with some LOUD replacements, myself......

[tigereye]

16. Replacements sound good

You go, mom (or dad) not sure of your gender. I just listened to some NOFx and it was so loud in the kitchen I had to turn it down!

parents breathe collective sigh of relief here.... ahhhhhh


how many progeny do you have? :)

[AmandaRuth]

21. just one - she sneaks on here sometimes

and posts under miniluvamerica. she is starting Jr high today. she plastered her notebook with Kerry stickers and a few anti bush stickers. I told her she is definitely braver than I was at that age!!!

[tigereye]

24. cool

the kids at my son's small progressive school are very politically aware. It is heartening. Good for her. I had little or no clue about politics at that age.

[redqueen]

13. Only one vote for Patti?!

:wtf:

[NashVegas]

14. Nope

Patti's a mom, she could commisserate.

[redqueen]

Yay You!

And Yay Hedges! (noticed that after my post)

[tigereye]

17. I know that's odd, huh.

Patti is very parent friendly. Hi Redqueen. :hi:

[redqueen]

19. Not only that

She's so activist and right-on in her lyrics. I love her.

:hi:

Oh this is funny... my 4 yo daughter is a music lover already. She sings all the time and asks me to play music on the computer for her. One frequent request is Take it to the Limit ... she sings along... it's too fucking cute!

Okay sorry ... had a mom moment there. All better now. :)

[tigereye]

22. aw I like mom moments

it is interesting to me how complex our lives are as parents... so many roles to fill, with work, parenting, partner or spouse, friends (when you can fit them in), sports or hobbies (i do tai-chi and play drums occas.)politics, other activities and having alone time. Not sure how to fit them all in, at times.

[jdonaldball]

15. Wait until the kid comes home and then blast whatever annoys them

[tigereye]

18. well, actually, my son thinks

"mom's music is too loud. " How funny is that. And I am going through a punk phase after being sick of rock for a few years when I listened to nothing but jazz. Although he does like the Ramones, since they were in a Jimmy Neutron movie. And Capt Beefheart.

[bif]

20. "Live at Leeds" by the Who

That's what I'd blast.

[tigereye]

23. that is the one I don't have

not sure how that happened. I'll work on it. Maybe my husb has it somewheres.

[tigereye]

25. wow Clash are beating everything else out!

Guess that isn't surprising.

[Bunny]

26. Now THAT's a playlist!

May I recommend a little Montovani? :evilgrin:

:hi: tigereye!

[tigereye]

27. yeah mom needs to rock or punk out

since the child is nowhere to be seen. How are you Bunny? Are things better?

Montovani, eh. Yeah I guess I do need a mellow or easy listening component as well. Maybe someone with less raucous taste than mine will do a copy-cat. Or I can do a mellow jazz list, next. You can tell I have little work to do today, no?

[Bunny]

28. Relax, enjoy, and blast away! n/t

[tigereye]

29. thanks

[lapislzi]

30. Why wait till your kid is in school?

My daughter grooves on the Clash and the Ramones with me.

[tigereye]

31. my son likes them too

but he is not here and I can play it really, really loud. And he doesn't like it too loud. It's also a paean to parental freedom. :)
