Most of the bands I listed are more than 20 years old, some of them more than 30. I think there are only a couple bands on there that are "young," so to speak. It is just that none of it has ever, except for maybe the Cure and Oingo Boingo, been "mainstream." It's mostly old post-punk, goth rock and deathrock.
I have been so tempted to call these people at 3 a.m. when they have to work the next morning just to shoot the shit or pump my child full of caffeine and sugar on a Friday night and leave him with my in-laws. I've gotten to the point where I'll only answer it if it's the school, since my husband has to commute 45 minutes to work, but even that is tricky because my sister-in-law is a teacher as his school. She actually called me up at noon and asked me to watch her kid for the afternoon. My mother-in-law once suggested that I not send my son to my mom's for a day he had off from school and stay up until they got home from work at 4:30. FUCK THAT. That's the equivalent of waking up my son at 1 a.m. and telling her that she had to watch him and couldn't go to sleep until 7 a.m.
Hmmm...that might work if my mother-in-law wasn't an obsessive compulsive custodian, who comes out to the house we haven't even moved into yet and cleans without even asking. These people are effing ridiculous. I'
Hmn, I guess it's me and my tastes in music. I think that living in the small towns of the Maritimes we didn't get much of the mainstream and I'll have to admit to listen to a lot of stoner music. I mean I'm still shocked I even graduated. I spent from 9th to 12th grade really, really stoned. Lately I'm slowly expanding my brain and my musical tastes. I'm so not into when family acts like that and where you're moving into your new place I'd seriously squash it and set them all up with some serious limits life's too short for their bullshit. I bet the mother in law's very passive aggressive too and really good at laying on the guilt. I've been there, Amanda my SO is constantly getting grief that she's with me and not some big money family, university graduate. She's always got a snarky fake sweet comment to say even if i'm not around.
