I'm babysitting my 16 month old nephew, and he loves music. Im introducing him to some GOOD music. He likes the shins, and seems to like the new pornographers too. I just put on some broken social scene, and hes staring at the speakers, enthralled. He totaly ignored the flaming lips though!
So what do you think i should play for him next?
-
He is going to thank you so much in 15 years.
That said, maybe Bjork? He might think it is interesting, but I'm not sure.
-
YOU'RE RAISING A DELINQUINT! PUT SOME OF OUR MUSIC ON BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
-
I just put on the clash, and the ungratefull bugger ran off!
I dunno.. kids today.
-
All of my younger cousins have always enjoyed Grandaddy, especially "Stray Dog and the Chocolate Shake" off of Sumday.

Put on Bear Vs. Shark just to spite him. :D
-
The Brunettes - "Dancefloor"
I imagine some Architecture In Helsinki, Kanda, or The Boy Least Likely To would work, too.
-
Oh, oh! Mabe Mind is Not Brain by Mock Orange will work? He may like the squeaky guitars and high-pitched vocals.
-
It turns out he loves the beatles. Im having trouble posting because he also loves my optical mouse.
-
Give the boy some classics man! Dylan, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Simon and Garfunkel, these all made me happy when I was small. Also, sixties pop in general. And Culture Club. Give him the basics, but please don't indoctrinate him. The kid's gotta have a bit of individuality.
-
The Sugarplastic. Do it 9 times.
-
Anal Cunt by Anal Cunt

Okay, dispite the little tyke chewing my fricking memory card, i got some rather blurry pictures of his reactions. This lad knows what he likes!

Sam's reaction to simon and garfunkel
(http://www.peterbarnard.com/pics/sammy/2.jpg)
His reaction to bad religion
(http://www.peterbarnard.com/pics/sammy/3.jpg)
Led Zepplin: stairway to heaven
(http://www.peterbarnard.com/pics/sammy/4.jpg)
His reaction to after forever. Not a prog rocker this boy.
I tried to get a picture of him grinning like a maniac when i put on lucy in the sky with diamonds, but he was wriggling around so much every picture was a blur.
-
All together now.... AWWWWWW....
-
...AWWWWW...
(PS: Your beer is about to fall out the window!)
-
Yes, the drugged up Beatles songs are for the win with children. I am informed I used to sing along, doubtless cutely, to 'I Am the Walrus' from before the age of 3.
-
My nephews like the decent music... thank the gods. Three year old Finn sings Pixies and Five year old Jude sings Sex Pistols and The Clash (despite his dad constantly singing Hey Jude at him).
Actually the boys and their dad are quite musical, finn has great rhythm and Judes learning to play guitar, so Jude and Dad play guitar and finn plays Drums. Its quite cute, until finn gets all punbk Rock and proceeds to DESTROY the kit... :)
That is ONE cute KID by the way!
-
Architecture In Helsinki is probably the best suggestion thus far.
Also try some of the more cutesy Wilco stuff.
-
Perhaps Air?
-
Be careful with Wilco; "War on War" could scar the kid for life.
-
Only if he's listening to the words! Wilco-wise, I'd stay away from "Less Than You Think," if he's into listening to the whole song.
-
"Less Than You Think" would be like being trapped in Tim Burton's version of Purgatory for an infant.
-
Yeah, it would be all laughing skellingtons and deep, ominous blues.
-
That said, maybe Bjork? He might think it is interesting, but I'm not sure.
Hopefully he won't catch on that all the songs on Vespertine are about fucking.
Yeah, it would be all laughing skellingtons and deep, ominous blues.
And you'd have to be all "Hey! Skellingtons! Get out of my house!"
-
Touche Valrus. Touche.
-
The blue represents Purgatory?!?
-
Hopefully he won't catch on that all the songs on Vespertine are about fucking.
Hopefully - especially because if he did, he'd be a very advanced one year old.
EDIT: I love how I just noticed that I messed up the quote. "No more posting past 8 o'clock for you, young lady!"
-
Play him Les Claypool & The Holy Macerral. Great album for teh kids.
-
Perhaps Air?
Now why didn't I think of Air Supply? Win.
-
Jade Leary.
Don't know who that is?
GO FIND OUT.
-
Muddy Waters.
My parents never played me any blues and look how I turned out. *twitch*
Ben Lee.
If he's into The Shins, The Beatles and the New Pornos, theres a damn good chance he'll like Ben Lee. Or Kweller. Or Folds for that matter. Hell, try all three.
Air.
Not Air Supply. Put on Moon Safari if he needs calming
He totaly ignored the flaming lips though!
Was this early or recent?

Dude, you were never cute. You were Krieg in the womb.
-
I leapt straight out of the birth canal and headbutted a trainee nurse in the face for being a poser!
-
That's how metal he is, folks.
-
does everybody here remember when they went Metal for the first time? I think I was 11 or something like that. I haven't liked listening to Metallica since, but if my friends ever play it I can sing along to all the lyrics.
-
Yeah, hes a smart one alright. He can speak 3 languages (english, hungarian, and baby babble) and he is amazingly dexerous. He can thread a shoelace!
Anyway, just in case he copies anything, ive been keeping him away from music with bad language.
He really doesnt like anything too heavy. He puts his fingers in his ears.
-
My children will be played Prosthetic Cunt whilst still in the womb. By the age of three they will be so metal they will flip the finger at nuns spontaneously.
-
Sure, but as soon as they hit their teens, they will start listening to ska just to piss you off.
-
I like Ska.

-
I plan to use Brave New World style indoctrination tapes whislt they sleep.
-
My kids' first words will be "California Uber Alles."
After that, it will be "Dada! Make the mean man stop singing!"
And then "Dada, what do you mean by "adoption?"
-
Yar! Dire Straits for the child!
Some Taproot song was on the radio a while ago, and my three-year-old cousin was moshing by himself in the carseat. It was disturbing in a way...
-
This should be interesting in the future, he will eaither A lead a life knowing good music, or B be sucked into pop culture, forget these songs and start listening to the Simple Plans of tommaro.
-
Babies and young kids don't like loud/sudden noises, so I guess that might be why he's not a big fan of metal, so you should probably stick to the poppier, chillin' stuff. Maybe some Feist, if he liked BSS. Iron and Wine will probably put him to sleep.
-
Mogwai is for nap time
-
If you're looking to indoctrinate the child into completely non-commercial and borderline unlistenable music, it might be best to get it started on Sonic Youth right now.
Otherwise, you're doing a fine job on your own.
-
Mogwai is for nap time
I'd choose Jack Johnson or Iron and Wine for nap time as well, I mean that's what I use.
Give the kid some Queen and Cream, and after that, slam him with some Deerhoof. Preferably Milk Man, because it's awesome.
-
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Trippy music was written for little kids.
Is it just me or does that boy look possesed or at least realy sadistic...

Sorry my bad. I'm a newb you see and my computer was being a penis brain.

Anal Cunt by Anal Cunt
actually, he could probably get away with playing "Picnic of Love" by Anal Cunt. like, the whole album.
-
Try the Katamari Damacy soundtrack... my flatmates nephew looooves it.
P.S. I forgot this forum existed... i have no idea how zomg
-
My five-year-old niece was enjoying Sleater-Kinney and LCD Soundsystem the other day, but that was about ten minutes after she declared Hilary Duff the "first queen of rock."
-
My parents' dog absolutely FLIPS OUT when I play Spoon. Little kids are kind of like dogs, right??? (Kidding, kidding). Still, try Kill the Moonlight.
Seriously though, I suspect the whole dog-flipping-out-phenomena is due to the human-beatbox thing on "Stay Don't Go".
