My 2 year old step-daughter likes Sonic Youth :)

I was driving the other day and she was in the car, and I was playing EJTNS and Sweet Shine came on. She started to sing along, of course, not knowing the words. but when Kim was real quiet, she was just quietly going "laaa laaa," and when it picked up, even before Kim started with the "WOOOO, I'm coming home!" stuff, our little girl started screaming "AHHHH!" And not like the freaked out kind either, it's like she remembered that part was coming up, and she was singing along with it. Kids are awesome :)

thats so cool,,, can't wait to have kids ( or maybe not ...)

Kim G's for the kids

I wish my little cousin liked SY. She's like two but I saw her dancing weirdly to Kanye West once.

my boyfriend's nieces like pretty much anything i put on. i love it when they come over (the oldest one is 8) to visit or spend the night. i still don't want kids. i make a better auntie than a mommy.

Evan, my 3-yr old loves the Pixies, his fav song is Where's my Mind, which he walks around singing often. Hearing this hardcore baby boys voice singing 'where is myyyyyy miiiinnnddd' is the best.

They are both way into Sonic Youth and Nirvana too. With SY they both tend to gravitate to Goo and Dirty more, probably becuz of the more simplistic lyrical structure and they are songs we can groove too. Evan's fav SY song's to sing are Goo & Kool Thing. Kellian's favs are also Goo & Kool thing, but she loves Titanium Expose, Sugar Kane and Drunken Butterfly.

Other cd's they will actually ask me to put on include Sleater Kinney, White Stripes, Beck, Modest Mouse, Violent Femmes and my 80's mixes.

god, your kids are cooler than i am.

i can see why kids would like sonic youth, more EJST&NS, dirty, goo and washing machine, the more poppy ones. I can see why kids love noise music too, i remember hearing noise/feedback type music for the first time and loving it, it breaks the mould for that whole verse chorus verse way that most kids music is written in. I definitely want to have children.

When I was young I was singing along to 'Groovy Kind of Love'.

She will do that all day long. I'd say most parents stifle that sort of thing, and that's why children grow up not exploring things for themself. I let her do basically what she wants as far as that stuff goes. I mean, we have structure, I don't want a kid running around the house in 10 years telling me to shut up and stealing my credit cards, but I let her be creative. If she draws all over a new bag we buy her, that's fine. If she feels that it would looks better with red circles all over it, hey, it's her bag :)
