sigpic Myself as Mephistopheles (Karen Koed's painting of me, 9 Nov 2008, U of Canterbury, CHCH, NZ)
Gold is the power of a man with a man
And incense the power of man with God
But myrrh is the bitter taste of death
And the sour-sweet smell of the upturned sod,
Nativity,
by Peter Cape

A few years before that I heard the two debaters discussing Dolly Parton. Of course, this has much to do with parental influence. Or, currently, Miley Cyrus.

Back in 1997 a friend of mine and I traded cassette tapes and he sent me The Gathering "Mandylion" and "Nightime birds" which I overheard but another friend of mine stole those tapes, but since he was and is a big friend of mine I considered it a gift.
Some years later in November 2000 I had just been fired and I decided to go to a cd store before leaving the city I would not have any business at all and bought How To Measure a Planet and started listening to it while driving back to my home town to live with my parents still having these omnipresent thoughts about a broke up that happened 7 months before. The songs from that album have this angelical voice from Anneke who conveys a certain mellow feeling but at the same time, it lifts up your soul probably indicating that happiness in life is transitory and so I looked at the horizon ( 38 Celsius outside and moisture 20% ) and left the wind blow at my face.
I don't know what made going back to listen to The Gathering and Anneke a few weeks ago but I certainly thank God for that.

Originally posted by postodave View PostThe parental thing is interesting. I was a teenager in the seventies and there was a huge barrier between my parents music and mine. My dad was a trad jazz fan, which was a bit out there and he also go the Beatles, at least their earlier stuff, and his sister who was seven years younger had the first three Beatles albums which ended up at our house. But the other stuff my dad listened to , like Tony Bennet or Matt Monroe that was definitely not our stuff but theirs. That kind of thing has largely gone now and kids are more likely to listen to their parents' music. For me it was a game changer to realise that Bob Dylan's Blind Willie McTell lifted its melody from Louis Armstrong's St James' Infirmary. Dylan himself has since uncovered his own roots, not just in folk but earlier strands of pop music, with his theme time radio. The idea that sixties music sprang fully formed from nowhere now seems odd, and seventies pop which was rooted in the fifties never really tried to hide that. We just sorted of pretended we were in a new world. So kid's do listen tom their parents' music, love some and hate some but not because it is 'old' or an outdated style. I love the videos on Youtube where a young person 'reacts' to an earlier track without any of the baggage its original listeners would have brought, but with a different set of baggage!
Oh! Also, I played The Damned's New Rose for her the other day. She thought it was good.
That said, there is a parent down the street who told me his sons won't hear anything unless the media says it's a big hit.
