Music For a Twelve Year Old Brother
Felix_:
Devourment - "Butcher The Weak"
He'll love it. :-D
Will:
Is it weird that I was into Zao when I was 13?
jcknbl:
Someone mentioned XTC before and this might be the right answer. That singles collection is just perfect.
Is it possible he just doesn't like music? Has anyone here ever met anyone who didn't like music?
I think the Mass Romantic cover-art is a miss. Making out is a plus but the creepy art technique is a huge minus.
Inlander:
Tommy, worst cover art ever? Somebody needs to go back and look at his copy of Remain in Light again!
As to the original point of the thread: you want something that's going to introduce him to the joy of listening to music, huh? Have you considered classical music? Get a nice recording of Beethoven's 6th symphony (the "Pastoral" symphony - the Deutsche Grammophon recording by the Berling Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Herbert von Karajan, is sublime), sit him down, pop it in the C.D. player, and crank it up to 11. If everyone within earshot isn't a dribbling puddle of happiness by the end of it then I'm sorry, but you're living in a closed community of philistines and there is no hope for any of you.
I guess my point is: don't feel like you have to introduce him to rock or pop. He's starting on the bumpy road to adulthood: you have to get in there early with the understanding that a person should listen to as wide a variety of good music as is possible, regardless of whether it's "cool" or not.

Specifically Daisies To The Galaxy.
Everyone who doesn't like Daisies To The Galaxy is just an utterly cranky bastard.

That's your answer to everything.
Oh you got cancer? Listen to some Eels.
(Not that the Eels don't cure cancer.)

Quite the opposite.
"Cancer for the cure"
